Glee Celebration Playlist



Glee has done some AMAZING covers, and some not so great covers of songs.  I don't have all of the music from the show, but I do have most of them (166 to be exact).  If I listened to them all back to back non stop, it would take 9.4 hours to get through the list.  Anyway...while I really like almost all of the songs, there are a few tracks that just stand out as being wildly better than the rest.  My current 15 favorite songs covered by the Glee Cast...in no particular order...and the lead vocals are going to by actor name, not character name.
