Memorial Day Top 500 (500-451)

So it is supposed to be the Memorial Day Weekend Top 500 Songs, but this year T-time didn't have his list ready so it was the middle of June Top 500. The idea came from the radio stations that play their top 500 songs over the three day Memorial Day weekend. Me and T-time would listen to these countdowns but not enjoy a lot of the songs. We decided that the next year (2007) we would make our own list and play it. This summer was the second annual Top 500 countdown. We each made our own list of our 500 favorite songs and then combined the two to create our Top 500 songs. 1 point for 500th...2 points for 499th...etc.

Today's installment will be songs 500 through 451.
