I have always prided myself on my diverse music taste (in which I basically listen to anything besides country). My mother loves music- I listened to a lot growing up. Along with that, I heard all of my older siblings music before I really cared to listen to my own. Yet I always find myself getting into these music ruts where I listen to the same twenty or so songs for a couple of months then I verge on the point of hating them forever, which is where I desperately look for new music. Other people have this problem too. I wanted to do something a little different with today’s post and that’s where the top 100 comes in.
However, it wouldn’t be as exciting if it wasn’t a little weird. Instead of just doing my top favorite 100 songs in general or in a certain genre, it’s going to be on my 4th generation iPod touch that I’m not exactly sure when I got, but it was before I was 13. With 890 songs ranging from video game sound tracks to Supertramp to Taylor Swift, it should be interesting to see what is on there. The newest album on it is “Beneath the Skin” by Of Monsters and Men, which was released on June 9, 2015 in the US.
I’m sitting here listening to all the songs on my dear iPod, writing down all of the songs I love in alphabetical order, then we’ll make sure that it comes out to 100 (and if it doesn’t we’ll change the number). Also, in order to increase variety, if there is a particular artist or album I really enjoy, I’m only going to chose one or a handful to put on the list. Whether you’re looking for some different music to listen to or just want to judge my taste in music, here’s the list 🙂 (The links are to official content on YouTube):
