Since it's an all-time list, I tried to favor artists/bands that I've loved consistently for years on end, rather than any new favorites. So that's why it's a bit different than my favorite albums list which was mostly current.
The favorite song picks might honestly change by the day though (I like way too many to even name), so maybe take those with the tiniest grain of salt, since they're just my favorite(s) at the time of writing. =P
