I'm not cutting any more songs. This could have been a Hot 500. I love a lot of songs, and I love many of them nearly as much as I love these--hell, many pretty much in a dead heat with what I've listed in my Hot 150. I'm grateful that life offers no limits on the love of music.
But now: Let's PLAY!!
