Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault: 60 Songs That Don't Suck
These are the first 60 or so songs that came to mind. I know I completely ignored any kind of classic rock and hip hop, as neither had much bearing on having inspired me to play music. That's not to say that there weren't many amazing and important bands from those genres and eras. I also had to refrain from making this list my top 50 Bad Religion or NOFX songs or songs sung by Blake Schwarzenbach. I could also have easily made this my top 50 Death Cab songs, so I tried only to include my favorites by them.
