All Time Favorite Songs

Recommended Posts

Of course we all listen to alot of music. But there are always those songs that stand out from the rest, and that we (or at least I) listen to again and again over long periods of time.

 

Mine include...

  • 'Valentine' by Charli XCX
  • 'Fineshrine' by Purity Ring
  • 'Maps' by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  • 'Great Mistake' by Sky Ferreira
  • 'Ghetto Baby' by Lana
  • 'Animal' by Miike Snow

 

 

What are some of your favorites that have withstood the test of time? :P

Realizing that the only NEWLY discovered song on my list is the Lana one...probably because I determine my favorites by what gives me a nostalgia boner.

I have way too many to name, but most of my all-time favorite songs come from Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Eminem, Tenacious D, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, System of a Down, and Britney Spears, and maybe another artist I'm forgetting.
