Really getting to the good stuff now. These are songs everyone should know and treasure or at least I think so. And remember this isn’t some kind of historical list of the most important songs in music history. These are the songs I like listening to. Period end of story.
Be sure to click on the videos to hear the songs.
After the name of the song and the year it was ready you’ll see two numbers written like this 0/0.
The second number is how many times this band has a song in my top 500. The first number is where this song ranks in the bands catalog according to me.
1/1 simply means this band only has one song in my top 500 and this song is it. There are quite a few 1/1s on today’s post. In fact, there are six 1/1 songs on today’s post.
2/2 means this band has two songs in my top 500 and this is the second-best song. The best song is yet to come on a future post.
1/2 means this band has two songs in my top 500 and this is the best song. Below this, I will then include that second song and where it ranks.
3/5 means this band has 5 songs in my top 500 and this song is the third best. Two more great songs are still coming in future post, and then below this song, I will songs 4 & 5.
Got it? I hope so. I’ve been doing this for a long time. It started as a list of my top 1000 songs but it got too difficult to keep listing all the songs below some bands credits, so I made it a top 500 list. You can look back at my other posts and see the entire list so far in those post.
Onward!
