52 favorite songs (in my collection)

i stole the idea of 50 favorite songs from alex. actually, i butchered my starting list of 153 songs down to 52 (my 52 is like my 165, or brian's 27, except with a better connotation). this list is only made up of songs that i have the cds to (excluding glycerine and tainted love. they are definitely favorites). if i had included foreign language songs, instrumentals, queen, the beatles, etc. etc. etc, and then maybe excluded flickerstick, staind, linkin park, and creed from the list (excluded because i like the whole cd... that's roughly 11 cd's worth of songs right there)... well, then it would be... more rounded? also, i'm sure that if i tried to put together all my favorite songs, i'd forget about fifty. or so.
