RockyRaccoon Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm glad so many people are discovering new songs! I'm happy that I'm getting a top ten, but to me, what really makes me enjoy this is helping people discover new songs. Because I think thats what it's really about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Narrowing this list to 50 was hard for me! I can't imagine narrowing it to ten haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karma Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Good Grief, what an awesome list. It is going to be hard for me to narrow down to just 10. There is my hero Bob Dylan and my standard House of the Rising Sun which I sing at karaoke all the time just to name two. Need to listen to all first but...already said AWESOME.
