I think music is one of the unique things that defines us as human beings. You think you may know someone and you may ask them what their music tastes are, and then you are suddenly surprised or shocked, because you just didn't imagine their music preferences were like that. I suppose in many ways music reflects who we were, but it may change so often depending on times, places, moods, and events. Obviously your top 100 will be different to mine, but I think its interesting to find out about other people's music tastes, even if at the end of the day music is something that is uniquely personal to us all. Nevertheless, some music sticks with us throughout the months and years. So, to let you get a better background of who I am, here is my all time top 100 listings in no particular order and which I may change slightly over time. I hope you're not offended!
