I have a little bit of an obsession with music, as I’m sure many people do. I can spend hours upon hours perusing iTunes and Spotify searching for my next favorite song. And when I find it, I listen to it over and over again, naturally. Unfortunately, I eventually wear it out and am forced to find a new favorite song. It's a terrible cycle that is the definite root cause of my procrastination.
There’s nothing I love more than sharing my little discoveries. That being said, here is a list of 100 of the greatest songs, in my humble opinion, in absolutely no particular order at all. Listen away, or don't, but I highly suggest you give each song a chance to prove their wonder.
