Hi there,

As it says in the title, this is just for fun and if you ask me in a week’s time, a couple of these might be different. As I sit here, however, these are my favourite 20 songs. I’m not going to go into reasons for each one; suffice to say that they all have special associations for me. Some remind me of a particular time; others of a person. Some make me feel a certain way. Let me know some of your favourites in the comments.
