99 songs I know

[lollardfish]

Here's a list of 99 or so songs I know. I have other lists of songs I used to know. And still other lists of songs I used to know but don't really want to know. And still other lists of songs I never knew but would like to. And there's a huge batch of pub songs I've not bothered to list. But here's 99 songs I know.

What did I leave out that I should remember?
What should I learn?

Yeah, I've used it as a poem in class for the imagery/metaphor and the shift in tone. I think it's brilliant. Transit is even more brilliant, and while it makes me cry, it is much more hopeful and redemptive.
