Voting closes in 4 days so I'm trying to wrack my brains for any songs I may have forgotten!
It's such a hard task, because there are so many criteria upon which you could judge a song. In the end, I've decided that it shouldn't be an intellectual decision, because music isn't about that, it's about feeling. So, I've chosen songs that have the most impact on the way they make me feel. The only problem then is that the feelings older songs produce may have diminished in time due to hearing them so often and hearing them now in a different musical era..
