As you may know, I love to make lists of everything. Just give me a theme and I will make a list related to this theme. This time I made a list of 30 songs that make me feel like a man! I only spent a few days preparing this list, so I may have forgotten a couple of songs so the list may be a bit random, but not every list I make needs to be perfect. :) The list has become a cool mixture of classic rock and modern indie rock, mostly from the period when I was a student and still had enough time to actively search for new music very often. I also added some comments related to the song, to explain why I picked this song or just for your entertainment.
Do you have any suggestions for songs that I forgot to include in this list? Or suggestions for another list I could make in the future? Let me know!
