Every caster class has this problem actually. Yes i think we could use at
least a couple more slots for songs. I don't think bards have it quite as
bad as Shamans though - they have a SLEW of AWESOME buff spells and if they
want to uber-buff party members they normally end up switching spells out
EVERY time they buff. That would terribly irritate me.

I still manage and don't really have any problem with song selection at 37.
I have Selo's memmed when outdoors, but will swap it with Pixie Strike or
something while indoors. Hymn of Restoration is pretty much obsolete if you
are grouped with healers and have mana song. Now that I have Celerity and
stack it with Chant of Battle I never touch Bellows.
