I don't know all the songs but there are for sure a lot on your list that I love as well!

(I'm surprised someone else knows Fever Ray - that song is so f*** brilliant!)

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

:). I found Fever Ray a couple of years ago via spotify. I don't even remember how I run across to the album but I instantly loved it. :)

No. 72 is one of my favourite songs of all time too...and gosh, I totally forgot about 16 Horsepower, have to listen to them again. Thank you!!

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

:)

BTW, thank you SO much for your lovely surprise packet!!! :) <3

[brynhilda.livejournal.com]

That means the package travelled just 2 days! Incredible!!

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

Wow! That's fast! :)

[boywhocameback.livejournal.com]

Thsi is good! This is the only reasonable way to list one's all-time favourite songs. I think I can actually almost fit mine in that 98!

Tere Perestroika !

[boywhocameback.livejournal.com]

THIS. Why can't I edit my comments ugh!

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

I thought about 100. The first 50 were easy like there's room for so many songs. Then after 50 I started to grow a bit anxious like I can't fit my favourite songs into 100... and then at 98 I got this total blankness and couldn't think of any more... But I'm sure I forgot several and there could be at least 50 more.

I have loved J.M.K.E. since I was 16 and Tere Perestroika is such a great song. I also love Külmale maale. <3

[floatingleaf.livejournal.com]

Wow. There is a BIG crossover between your list and mine (I don't think I could keep it down to less than a hundred, though).

OK, I will give you the count: 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 16, 29, 31, 40, 44, 55, 69, 93, 94. LOL. But since about half of your list are songs I've never heard, I'm guessing I would have more to add if I did check them out...

You have quite a few of my favourites on there and that Fever Ray song is one of them, especially since it's used as the intro for Vikings. :) <3
