well folks, i did it...it was a long and arduous process, but i finished the list. the sad thing is, i know it will constantly change and tomorrow i'll be like "dang it, i want this on the list", but i tried to pick timeless songs that have sentimental value and that i've been in love with for a long time. some extremely close runners up were "Now We Are Free" from Gladiator, "what a wonderful world" - louis, "forever in blue jeans" -the invincible neil diamond, "into the west" -annie lennox, "Romeo and Juliet: Op.64 No. 51 Juliets Funeral"-Prokofiev, and the jazz classic "that's all"...(i listed 6 because deleting those last few was the most difficult)...i must say, i never ever ever want to do this again. next time i will make a separate list for classical, jazz, folk, rock, and movie music. So here they are song and artist in no particular order:
1. Daydream Believer-the Monkees (...cheer up kelli jean...)
2. I'd Rather Dance With You-Kings of Convenience
3. Better-Regina Spektor
4. Just Like Heaven-the Cure
5. Breakable-Ingrid Michaelson
6. Is This Love-Bob Marley
7. Such Great Heights-Iron & Wine
8. Hide and Seek-Imogen Heap
9. Delicate-Damien Rice
10. Hallelujah-Rufus Wainwright
11. I Wish I Was the Moon-Neko Case
12. Let It Be-Carol Woods & Timothy T. Mitchum*
13. Bridge Over Troubled Water-Simon & Garfunkel
14. Georgia On My Mind-Van Morrison
15. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered-Ella Fitzgerald
16. I Shall Not Walk Alone-the Blind Boys of Alabama
17. A Boy and A Girl-Eric Whitacre
18. Adagio for Strings-Samuel Barber
19. I Don't Want To Miss A Thing- Aerosmith
20. Desperado-the Eagles
*-yes, the "Across the Universe" movie version is my favorite. it could possibly be my favorite song of all time...ah, those notes at 2:28 and 2:39...gives me the chills EVERYTIME
~also to the right i got the list as close as possible so you could listen to the songs you may not be as familiar with
peace+love

Im so glad I waste time at work and decided to check out the sisters of the orchard 14th ward blogs and therefore found you. Oh...and my list is better than yours
Dave,
A. you are a cheater--you have two number 15's
B. you must remember, you and i grew up in different decades. no one persons list is better than the other. it is inevitable they will be different.
(but fyi, tears for fears, beatles, coldplay and u2 were some of the last to be cut from my list)
Brooke, sarah, and aubree i want your lists!
I want to know why david apparently browses our blogs but only comments on yours? Could there be an ulterior motive? Hmmmm.
Anyway, okay, I am no music oracle like everyone else...but I will work on a list!
Actually, Kel, you are wrong. My list was the best. So, you know, whatever. Also a grown man who puts Men at Work on his list....he deserves props.
