57 songs worth spending $56.43 on iTunes

This list is arbitrary. They're not my 57 favorite songs, and they're not 57 songs that you've never heard of. Most of them fit into three categories: overlooked songs by major artists; slightly obscure songs by current, moderately popular artists; and music from our parents' generation that you don't hear very often. They're mostly loveable, not very complicated, and worth blasting in your car or your headphones, whatever the case may be.
