the politics of lonely: Top 100 list

Post 100!!!

I figured for my 100th post, I'd make a list of my Top 100 songs. I'm sure I'm leaving plenty off of this, so there may be a "Top 100 list snubs" list in the future. These are in no particular order after the first 5 or so, they're just up as they came to me, songs by the same artist grouped together. I could've had a lot more of some bands, like the Beatles, or the Mountain Goats or Wilco, but I tried to limit myself. Look for more "100th Post Week" celebratory posts later in the week!
