Two notes!
1. Since I tried to keep this to one-song-per-artist, it's not really representative of my strict 50 favorite songs. If I didn't restrict myself that way, the list would probably end up being 200 songs long, or totally skewed in Josh Homme and Chris Goss's favor.
2. I also gave up on actually ordering the songs about 5 songs in. I like half the songs in the bottom 10 as well as or better than half of the songs in the top 20.
Still, find these songs and you won't be disappointed.
