So I decided to blog about my top 13 favoritist tunes of all times, the list was going all well until I told a certain someone that I was composing such a list. I thought my list was pretty complete until that certain someone started reminding me of all these tunes that were my top but apparently justat the back of my head. So here are my tops of tops in no particular order, because quantifying the favorites would just be an emotional havoc as each song below has a special memory attached to it:
1.Ace of Base, All that She Wants: my first musical influences I can clearly remember. I remember boping my head to this tune on matatus on my way to school in Kenya.

2.Boyz II Men, To the End of the Road: For those who grew up in the 90's, we just know why they were just the diggity bomb diggity. I used to sing this song word by word at the age of 9.
