Most of this list has been designed for flow rather than literally, "This song is better than this one, which is better than this one," and so on. That would be quite a task. You may see a song or two on my top 100 songs of 2010-2014 list behind a song that isn't. It's probably for flow purposes, or, let's face it, because my affection for certain songs fluctuates.
For the record, I am aware that Lewis' L'Amour album was recorded in the 80s. I'm not including it in the best albums lists for that reason. But since I would have been unable to include any of the songs from the album in a "Best Songs of 1983" list because it wasn't formally released until decades later, I am including 2 of his songs in this list because, my God, they're amazing!
