First, let me just say that I'm often accused of only liking "oddly brooding epic music," (as this picture might imply) but I think this list is going to shoot that theory down completely. Secondly, let me say the picture that is accompanying today is only because it's been a really weird day. It wasn't meant to be this sad or stark, that's just how it turned out. Thirdly, finishing this list was a really nice way to escape from everything.
And I know, these end of the decade lists are supposed to go up before the end of the decade, but what can I say? I needed an extension. Like all favorite lists, this is clearly subjective. These are my songs, my jams, and quite frankly, they're not even always THE best songs. They're just the ones that got a lot of rotation at chez sabs or are "good" for sentimental reasons.
I only let myself choose one song from an artist, so there were some tough decisions. I'm not even sure I'm going to agree with myself a few months from now let alone at the end of another decade. I'm also sure to regret a few newer songs on there, and I'll probably fall in love with a band that didn't even make the list this time around.
And finally, the numbers are just there to prove the list is at 100. The final top ten are in order, but the rest are broken down into categories in no particular order. It was just easier this way.
