I think it was the great philosopher Socrates who once said,
"Adam and Mike both had pretty good song lists, but Kevin's is the best by far."
Now I'm not one to brag, but if Socrates says that my song list is good, than it must be pretty damn good.
Anyway, here is my list of the 50 best songs. They are mostly in order, but each song as a tolerance of + or - 5 spots on the list.

"But Kevin!" you say, "{insert above song/artist} sucks! {Insert worse song/artist from your own list} was WAY better."
Just remember that I have Socrates on my side...
...And now he hates you.

Interesting list... classical music. I didn't have you pegged as someone who would like Desree, Dido, Natalie Imbruglia... not that there's anything wrong with that. I do agree that it's weird Mike is probably the biggest Guster fan out of the three of us and he has them ranked so much lower.
I just re-read your list...I like the Natalie Imbruglia pick! I used to love that CD! I liked "Smoke" the best though...and "Don't You Think" and "Intuition", hell, that's just a damn good CD. I like the Bruce Springsteen song choice too. I coulda put about 5 Bruce songs in my top 50. Hollllllllla
