I love “Chicken Fried” by the Zac Brown fan, that’s one song that’s been on my mind lately.
I love musicals, like Wicked, RENT, Chess and Les Miserables.
However I also love bands like Paramore, Linkin Park and I listen to a lot of Beyonce and Idina Menzel.
Yes! Another Les Mis fan! I love musicals as well. RENT is cool, but Les Mis and Miss Saigon are my favorites.
This is a list of my 101 favorite songs, as list which I have had for two years now. I just tweaked it, and I noticed this thread and figured that it’s the perfect place to post it. So, here are my 101 favorite songs.

Hooray for Killer Queen! 
aaldawrogers: Wow, that is some list! I love American Pie, I need to get it on my ipod! Oh, and Beach Boys for the win!
I agree, Beach Boys is great 
I remember playing the guitar section of “American Pie” on Band Hero and getting sooo tired because it’s such a long song. 
I am glad to see that we have a somewhat similar interest in songs. Usually I’m out of touch will people my age, especially when it comes to music. And, yes, American Pie is a long song. I imagine that Free Bird must be hard to play, with the guitar being even more involved and complex. Plus, it’s longer than American Pie.
Have you ever played that on there, Lerin?
There’s a song I’d like to mention
“Where is the Love” by the Black Eyed Peas
I love it’s lyrics, message, and music. Great song.
Wow, aaldawrogers all those songs are great and I know almost all of them. Yes, I’ve played Free Bird on Guitar Hero 2, and although beating it on HARD was uber-difficut, EXPERT was just insane!
