Songs I Can't Live Without

Ok, because the Quintessential Burn is coming up, I'm starting to compile the songs that I just can't live without. I was told I can do a boxed set! Woot! I may be tempted to get carried away. Just imagine what these poor people are going to have to deal with when they put those shiny silver discs in their stereos.

Muwhahaha! Anyway...I've got a few dozen songs that I'm thinking of putting on the disc. I'm not sure how many this will end up being. Or if I might do it like the decade of song...and have it as songs from each decade I can't live without. It's a thought, I'm tossing around.

Oh, and I was reading some of the blogs today from people who are included in the quintessential burn and I have an idea. Someone had a blog anniversary and they offered a mix cd to the first few people that emailed them. Expect to see an offer from me in much the same vein at the end of the month. My Blog anniversary is Aug 28, I do believe. Do you love me yet?

But onto the songs I can't live without. That was the point of this blog after all. I'm going to list them by bands, since most of my favorite bands have a few songs I can't live without.
