Here, in no particular order, is a list of songs I like. These are songs I have listened to more recently. There are so many other songs I like that aren’t listed here that it’s ridiculous. I recently saw the Bob Dylan movie No Direction Home as well as Becoming Led Zeppelin, and none of that music is even on this list (yet). But I did want to post an initial list that I can edit later. If you have ideas for songs that I should consider adding to the list, send them along.
