I made a list of my favorite 100 songs recently, and I figured I would put it up here. I had a complicated and flawed method, so even I was surprised by a few of the results. I restricted myself to one favorite song from each artist, so there are no duplicate artists on the list (although I counted Jay-Z and Kanye's collaboration a separate entity from each artist).
