I was looking for songs to put on my annual driving with the windows down CD and I randomly searched "Good Songs". What I found was a lot of lists of good songs, none of which I thought were all that good. So here is my own list. Keep in mind this isn't a list of my favourite songs, or the best songs. Just good songs. I'm going to try not to repeat artists, and I won't necessarily name my favourite song by an artist, just the first good song I can think of. In no particular order.
