LOOK AT ME!!
This will be a countdown list of personal favorites: deep cuts, forgotten songs, tunes by obscure artists, etc. The only thing all of these songs have in common is that you’re not going to hear them on the radio (mostly) . Most of them are from the genres I love the most: folk, blues, rock, power pop, singer-songwriter. They are frequent visitors to my playlists and I love them and are familiar with them as much as any hit song I’ve adored over the years.
I ended up with 53 because I kept cutting the list down and finally couldn’t do it anymore; I love these tunes too much. So 53 it is.
