I should say something for each song but I took a lot of time adding and subtracting from the list that I kinda ran out of steam.

Warm Love was recorded during a live during a performance on Musikladen in 1974 - and you know what Homer says about 1974. I don't know if this version of Warm Love counts since it's not an album cut, but I'm a recorded live performance enthuiast. And that is what I tried to do with this list is to include my favorite artist and genres. For instances, I like songs in languages other than English, so I include this version of SOS is from Agnetha's Elva kvinnor i ett hus album.

I agree with Trollheart:

This is just what I've thrown together, if I took the time to listen to each and every song in my library and pondered for hours on which ones I liked better than others, this will likely look entirely different. And I did write a paragraph on why I chose each but my laptop crapped up so I'll let the music speak for itself.
