Top 500 Songs (The following list is comprised of the top 500 Songs in my itunes collection that I enjoy the most and which also have been the 500 songs that would play on continuous rewind as the soundtrack of my life. The songs are listed alphabetically by artist, but are not ranked in order of importance)
Top 100 Hard Rock Songs (Of any genre of music, it's hard rock that is my absolute cup of tea. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing greatest then a kick-ass rock & roll anthem and a dynamic hard rock guitar melody. This list ranks the 100 greatest hard rock songs of all time. Power Ballads were not considered for this list. Only the hard rock tunes with memorable melodies comprise this list. Remember, these are the 100 hard rock songs that I enjoy the most. This list is not an actual ranking per music history, it's only based on my opinion!)
And The #1 Hard Rock Song Of All Time Is...
Top 100 Albums (Although the music industry is now focused only on hit singles, I'm not sure the idea of the classic album is going to completely fade away. Before itunes and other MP3 download sites, us music fans went to their local record stores and bought albums. And we even had the time to listen to them in their entirety whether on vinyl, cassette, or compact disc without skipping tracks with a press of our thumbs. The following list ranks the 100 albums that have been had the most impact on my life. It's not a list of the Top 100 Albums per musical integrity or history, just what I feel to be a list of the best albums that I have enjoyed.)
And The #1 Album Of All Time Is...
Top 25 Concerts
Top 100 Songs (I ask most people to name their top five songs of all time, and it's a huge challenge for them. For me, although the list is always changing, it's not too hard and also a lot of fun to go through the 100 songs that I believe to my personal favorites. Although listing but not ranking 500 songs up top is much easier, I've always tried to maintain my list of my 100 favorite tunes. The list below ranks the Top 100 songs that have made an impact on my life, and of course are the greatest hits off of the soundtrack of my life.)
And The #1 Song Of All Time Is...
Top 100 Musical Artists (Of any list, the one that lists my Top 100 musical artists changes the most. I've remained loyal to most of my bands in the Top 50, but new artists that I take a liking to seem to constantly be sneaking onto the list. The following list ranks the top 100 most imporant and most enjoyed musical talents throughout my lifetime. The #1 and #2 spots do swap on occasion between AC/DC and KISS, but I don't think any other band will dethrone these two bands that I have been in love with since the last 80's. Most of the top spots on the list go to musical artists that I have been loyal to and have enjoyed throughout many years of being a music fan. As you can see, my tastes are across the board with interest in various genres including hard rock, classic rock, R&B, Pop, Disco, and even Movie Symphonies. Remember, this isn't a historical list, but only one that reflects the artists and bands that I enjoy the most.)

Top 100 Hard Rock Songs (Of any genre of music, it's hard rock that is my absolute cup of tea. There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing greatest then a kick-ass rock & roll anthem and a dynamic hard rock guitar melody. This list ranks the 100 greatest hard rock songs of all time. Power Ballads were not considered for this list. Only the hard rock tunes with memorable melodies comprise this list. Remember, these are the 100 hard rock songs that I enjoy the most. This list is not an actual ranking per music history, it's only based on my opinion!)

Top 100 Albums (Although the music industry is now focused only on hit singles, I'm not sure the idea of the classic album is going to completely fade away. Before itunes and other MP3 download sites, us music fans went to their local record stores and bought albums. And we even had the time to listen to them in their entirety whether on vinyl, cassette, or compact disc without skipping tracks with a press of our thumbs. The following list ranks the 100 albums that have been had the most impact on my life. It's not a list of the Top 100 Albums per musical integrity or history, just what I feel to be a list of the best albums that I have enjoyed.)

And The #1 Concert I've Ever Seen Is...
Top 100 Songs (I ask most people to name their top five songs of all time, and it's a huge challenge for them. For me, although the list is always changing, it's not too hard and also a lot of fun to go through the 100 songs that I believe to my personal favorites. Although listing but not ranking 500 songs up top is much easier, I've always tried to maintain my list of my 100 favorite tunes. The list below ranks the Top 100 songs that have made an impact on my life, and of course are the greatest hits off of the soundtrack of my life.)

Top 100 Musical Artists (Of any list, the one that lists my Top 100 musical artists changes the most. I've remained loyal to most of my bands in the Top 50, but new artists that I take a liking to seem to constantly be sneaking onto the list. The following list ranks the top 100 most imporant and most enjoyed musical talents throughout my lifetime. The #1 and #2 spots do swap on occasion between AC/DC and KISS, but I don't think any other band will dethrone these two bands that I have been in love with since the last 80's. Most of the top spots on the list go to musical artists that I have been loyal to and have enjoyed throughout many years of being a music fan. As you can see, my tastes are across the board with interest in various genres including hard rock, classic rock, R&B, Pop, Disco, and even Movie Symphonies. Remember, this isn't a historical list, but only one that reflects the artists and bands that I enjoy the most.)
