So I watch a lot of old TV programmes! I recently decided to start watching One Tree Hill, which I have never seen before now. I didn’t have a TV while growing up, so I missed everything! There are a LOT of shows that I have only recently seen!
Anyway, Peyton makes a CD of “one hundred songs to save your life” I would love to link you to her playlist but I’m not sure if it even exists, I can’t find it online anyway; they all seem to be people’s own lists. So on that note, I am going to list 100 songs.
I can’t guarantee that they will save your life, I can’t even guarantee that you will even like them all, but I hope that they inspire you to branch out with your taste in music, that is always a good thing. And if they do ever save your life, I am pleased. I have sorted them into moods so that you can find the ones appropriate to you.
Another note: You may notice that they don’t run smoothly to each other. This is because my music taste is pretty varied, and I wanted to have a little bit of everything in there, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend playing it in this order!

Thanks for the excellent list. Songs I know and many I don’t, these will help me explore into new areas. Cheers!
I’m glad it inspired you, I hope you find some more music that you like!
This is very cool – you should make a playlist of all these songs on spotify or grooveshark and share the link 🙂
Good idea, I’ll maybe do that over Christmas!
Wow, nice list. There are a very few things that I like more than discovering new musics, so thanks for this. 🙂
No problem! Yes it’s quite exciting, isn’t it! I enjoyed making the list as well. It would maybe be interesting to see your list and/or the other bloggers’, if anyone wants to make one!
It’s on! 😀 Does it need to be 100 or do less suffice?
Well I chose to do 100 as it sounded like a good number, and because that was where I got the inspiration. I found it quite fun to try to find enough songs.
Less would be fine though, do your own take on it. If I hadn’t been aiming for 100, I may have cut out a lot of the songs I put up, but it was definitely good fun and I do love all of those songs so I’m happy with it.
