Century Mark (100 Songs for the 100th Post)

This is it, the 100th post of More Questions Than Answers. I thought I would make it a fun one since a good portion of the 99 are serious and rather depressing. If you have been reading since the beginning you know that the primary reason I starting blogging was for its therapeutic benefits. Music also displays these same therapeutic benefits.

The songs we fill our ipods with represent more than just entertainment. We get lost in the stories told as these songs convey emotions that reflect our place in this world or at least our place in this moment. The music we enjoy sits within a context of our own understanding of our experience.

So, let's make a list of 100 songs that make you smile, laugh and remember good times. Click the comment link below to contribute. Remember 100 songs for this century post. I'll start with the first 6:
1) Y.M.C.A by Village People
2) Your Smiling Face by James Taylor
3) You've Got A Friend In Me by Randy Newman
4) Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers theme) by Gary Portnoy
5) You May Be Right by Billy Joel
6) Centerfield by John Fogerty

Now it's your turn.
