My whole life I've dedicated a HUGE portion of time listening to music. I've practically made it my life. Even though I was born in 1971, my listening experience takes me back to 1955 and doesn't stop until the present day. I am constantly adding, deleting & considering songs for "the list". It is true that most pop songs I hear, I like. However... This list is an exclusive list. The ABSOLUTE BEST, in my opinion, have been chosen. These are the best of the best, selected from an even BIGGER list. I now bring to you- THE VERY SONGS I'D LOVE TO HEAR OVER AND OVER for the rest of eternity!!!
