Music is one of the few things that’ll uplift your soul in even the darkest moments. Good music, played at the right time, to the right set of ears can produce an ecstasy seldom found through legal means.
Everyone has a go-to song they throw on their mp3 player or turntable that can chase their blues away and put everything in proper perspective.

While the songs varied from pop hits of the day to classical, there were six artists who kept popping up as people’s favorites:
