Chances are no will care about this list of songs, except for me. People like different types of music and different songs inspire them. These did it for me. All these songs have great, inspiring music and beats with some urgency in them. The singers frequently bleed the lines. They make me believe that they believe what they sing. I need to have that emotional content, whether imagined or real, whether in the lyrics, the way the song’s sung, or the music.
