There are other bands/musicians whose music as a whole I like more than these individual tracks, but this is my list just narrowing it down to 16 top tracks. I was going to do 20 but those 4 places just jostled through too many contenders. These are my 100% top tier love them to death songs. One song per band/musician allowed.
