I avoided replying the last 10 times I opened this, because I'm having trouble even framing the question, much less the possible answers. I bet I could define "top songs" 6 different ways....

After a couple days of it banging around in my head, here's a few that are not best music technically, melodically, popularly, ....not a lot of things....but they continue to resonate with me as well as the first time I heard them....these just never have gotten old:

-Everlong - Foo Fighters
-Brandy - Looking Glass
-Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins
-Let's Stay Together - Al Green
-Heartbreaker - Rolling Stones

No surprise that the 80's are absent from any music list I make. Except maybe a little early metal and some punk, I'd be fine if the entire decade of music were lost.
