The Best [songs] You [forgot you] Had

Dusting off the proverbial, well, dust from my relatively old mp3's has me stumbling all over some gems that I'd totally forgotten about. I bet that you might have forgotten about these too--assuming that you're like me and you probably have many of the same albums.

In the spirit of a new calendar, I was reflecting on how my music has changed over the past few years and it made me think of a relatively novel idea for a top ten list. I tried not to include obscure tracks that no one has heard more than twice, or not at all. If someone came up to me and handed me a list like this it would be like finding all the lost change in the cracks of my sofa and under the seats of my car. How valuable is that?
