Only 4 more posts and I will have completed counting down my top 1000 songs ever. We are deep into the 30s.
Remember to click on the videos and enjoy these awesome songs. These are not songs that changed the course of music history or anything like that.
This is what I personally like to listen to.
Beneath each song you will find other songs by this band already on the countdown and where they placed.
If a song is numbered 2/13 like Judas Priest’s The Sentinel, it means this is my second favorite Judas Priest song. There’s still another Judas Priest song to come.
Got it?
