This is a list of my favorite songs of all time. It is almost impossible to rank them in order. Try this yourself sometime, you will see what I mean. I did not list songs from the last couple of years because I believe a song should stand up to the test of time first. The first time that I heard some of these songs, it was like magic. Can you relate to the feeling of a chill going through your body when you first hear a new awesome song? I hope you have experienced this. Other songs that I listed just transport me back to a certain time in my life. I can remember where I was and what I was doing when I first heard the song. It is like going on a vacation in my mind. What a trip! Life would really suck if there was no music. Don't you agree?

These are the ten records that I would need if stranded on a deserted island. I avoided listing greatest hits albums to be fair. Remember the radio program that played songs that famous singers would need if stranded on a deserted island? I believe it was called "desert island discs". If you know anything about this program, please letme know.
Please tell me about some of your favorite songs and howthey make you feel. If you can relate to any of what I wrote about let me know. Thanks for visiting, Bill.
