Mr. H's Top 50

Hey kids, some of my friends know that in addition to the lists I do periodically, I make an occasional Top 50 List of my current favorite 50 songs. I do this so people can get a feel for the kind of music I listen to on a daily basis. I usually post them at the beginning of a certain period of time, such as the end of Summer or Winter. For this one, the occasion is the beginning of my Senior year. It's interesting for me to compare my tastes in music from last lists and then make new ones. Unlike my other lists, this is 100% opinion.

Main thing you need to know is that on my Top 50 lists, only one song per artist is allowed, not counting featurings and if they were in a band prior (Like if I had both a Beatles song and Wings song)

Links are provided on each entry to listen to the song somewhere (probably Youtube unless I cannot find the song on Youtube).

So, here we are, Mr. H's current Top 50 (it's a countdown, so #1 is best):
