This has to be one of my favorite things to do. I'm not very good at coming up with an actual list in order of favorite songs, so I find it easier for me to divide them up into my favorite male/female/group categories (and sorry if my favorite male category gets a little long winded at times lol). This was the year my mom took me to my first concert ever at our local county fair in Nebraska which happened to be Pirates of the Mississippi. I've always looked fondly back on that band thanks to that great memory. Anyways, here we go...
