The Top 100 Most Paranoid Songs of 2013

This list gave me nightmares.  By far the most difficult list I've ever put together, The Most Paranoid Songs of 2013 is an approximation at best.  I started this thing out with some 368 songs that I thought were worthy of inclusion and whittled it down, and whittled and whittled.  Then, finally, I went ahead and whittled away at it some more.  But aside from just getting the list down to 100, then there was the sequencing to worry about.  Nightmares, my friends.  Hopefully you'll find something here that you hadn't heard before that will blow your mind, there was more than enough excellent music to sift through.  Feel free to let me know what an idiot I was for not including this song or that song.  I don't think any of us can get enough great music so share your picks here or on the facebook page if you feel so inclined, I'd be happy to check them out ...
