Published by

on

Alright, we are finishing up the 600s today! That’s 400 songs in my top 1000 songs countdown. Still quite a long ways to go but these poor songs didn’t make the cut and fell all the way down here. Not that I don’t love these songs. It’s only by fractions they are slightly less esteemed than the songs still to come.
So enjoy these while you can. Click on the videos to hear them. And be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the entire list so far.
