The Ultimate Soundtrack To My Life
Scott Ford

I've often wondered what my life would be like as a movie. After much thought and consideration, I realized that every great movie has an even better soundtrack. I started thinking about music, and about my favorite songs. These are the songs that I can be found playing on repeat when I'm in my car, sitting in my room, or just thinking.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
