(Finished January 5th, 2026) Part 12 of My All-Time Favorite, Not Necessarily Best, 1280ish Songs

Hello,

January 5th, 2026 update. These blogs are a long ways from being complete. I have updated them to focus on the fact that these are my favorite songs, not necessarily the best. I have also update the number of songs to 1280- which is much more realistic than the previously listed 680 songs. I will eventually have to update that number as well as I keep on finding favorite new songs. 

These aren't the best songs in my opinion, these are my favorite songs. There aren't a lot of differences between the two lists, but there are differences. For instance I love "We Built This City", but a lot of people don't consider that song as the best. But because the song rocks so hard it's easily one of my all-time favorite songs. 

Yes my projected number of favorite songs has doubled and will continue to rise likely. There are just so many great songs out there.

188) Ray Parker Jr. "Ghostbusters":

189) Brooks and Dunn "Brand New Man":

190) The 1975 "Chocolate":

Such a pretty song. 191) Gerry and the Pacemakers "Ferry Across The Mersey":

Another pretty song. 192) The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations":
