Just some random stuff before I crack the top 100 songs on the list.
First, here are 44 songs that would have been on the list if I'd gone to 200, instead of being lazy and stopping at 156. No particular order.
1. "Beers Steers + Queers" by Revolting Cocks. 2. "Superman's Song" by Crash Test Dummies. 3. "Back 2 Good" by Matchbox Twenty. 4. "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega. 5. "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" by U2. 6. "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies. 7. "Here's Where the Story Ends" by The Sundays. 8. "What's Wrong With Alice" by September 67. 9. "Not An Addict" by K's Choice. 10. "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. 11. "Tragedy For You" by Front 242. 12. "The Dog End Of a Day Gone By" by Love and Rockets. 13. "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" by Neil Diamond. 14. "My Generation" by The Who. 15. "Halah" by Mazzy Star. 16. "Hold Me Now" by Elastica. 17. "Hold Me Now" by Thompson Twins. 18. "38 Line Poem" by The Wonder Stuff. 19. "Welcome To the Cheap Seats" by The Wonder Stuff. 20. "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears. 21. "Sleepy Maggie" by Ashley MacIsaac. 22. "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who. 23. "Who Are You" by The Who. 24. "I Can See For Miles" by The Who. 25. "Fall On Me" by R.E.M. 26. "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?" by Carole King.
27. "So Far Away" by Carole King. 28. "Second Hand News" by Fleetwood Mac. 29. "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac. 30. "Gold Dust Woman" by Fleetwood Mac. 31. "Join In the Chant" by Nitzer Ebb. 32. "All Apologies" by Nirvana. 33. "Getting Closer" by Nitzer Ebb. 34. "I'm Sorry baby (I Want You In My Life)" by Animal Logic. 35. "Into the Fire" by Sarah McLachlan. 36. "Another Brick In the Wall Part 1, The Happiest Days Of Our Lives, Another Brick In the Wall Part 2" by Pink Floyd. (Yeah, I know it's 3 songs, but I'm only including them as one, because none of them would be any good without the others.) 37. "A.D.I.D.A.S." by Korn. 38. "Shoots and Ladders" by Korn. 39. "Wrong" by Depeche Mode. 40. "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette. 41. "The Exploding Boy" by The Cure. 42. "Halo" by The Cure. 43. "2 Late" by The Cure. 44. "Fear Of Ghosts" by The Cure.
Lots of female singers out of these 44, which is not true for the actual list. I think there are less than 15 out of 156 songs that are sung by women. But don't quote me on that. All 4 of the Cure songs at the end are B-sides. They honestly make songs that don't make the album that are better than the songs released as singles by a lot of bands. And I'm not just saying that because they are my favorite band. They just make such great music.
Random Short Lists. (No notes or anything, jut randomness)

A tiny tear went down my cheek with the rank of "I can see for miles." But thats my rank. Lol. Good closing songs tho!
That's awesome you saw Weird Al in concert! I'm jealous!
Matt: Yeah, I am really not sure why that song is not in my actual list. I must have overlooked it, because that's my favorite Who song. Just a brain fart, I guess.
Heather: Yeah, I've seen Weird Al 4 times. Dude puts on such a kick ass show, and it's kid safe, because he never swears or anything, and usually cheap tickets. So next time he comes around you should take the little one(s). (Not sure how many kids you have. My bad.)
