I got this idea from Baddie’s awesome blog entry, and reading Ade’s version of it kinda clinched the deal. Granted, my musical taste (or the lack of it, depending on your point of view) seems somewhat boring and cheesy compared to most people but what the hell, I thought I’d take a crack at it. At the very least, I guess my future kids could say their Dad had a pretty diverse taste in music.

Some of the songs you mentioned are great
Though none of them are in my iPod.
Start uploading then.
ok so where’s the download link
I had enough trouble doing this man. Maybe when I have more time.
ang hirap mag-isip ng 100 songs…masyadong marami akong naiisip
IKR. I actually thought the hard part wuld be reaching a hundred. Before I stopped putting in songs and trimmed this down I had close to a hundred and fifty!
Since you have Maroon 5′s Sunday Morning on this list, I trust your taste in music. I’mma download the songs that still aren’t in my collection. High five!
High five-ing back!

Oh I din’t really advertise it on my old blog yet. I was trying to fill it up first with more content.
This list is made up of awesome.
Also you don’t have “what? no [insert artist name]?” commenters here, unlike in my blog, thank god. If they don’t like the fact that I didn’t include their favorite artist, they should just make their own list.
You tell ‘em man! People sometimes. *shakes head*
Awesome list as well! I saw some songs I wanna try out. Thanks!
big ups for fuel, filter, and incubus.

I must agree! Great List! Classics! Have almost all of them

Hey! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!
