All right, controversy may grow from this and please, remember that it's all done by just one person, ME! Try to respect that and use the CTRL+F function to find a song and if you can't find one, don't bother writing stuff like "hey you missed this one" blah blah blah. Not being rude, just being straightforward!
Anyway, I got inspired by Rolling Stone's list back in 2004. When I re-discovered it 2 years ago, I just had to make one of my own because they had missed so many. I respect their decisions and rankings but they hadn't added much of the more obscure stuff like I've added ex: Soul Searchin', I Love a Rainy Night etc...
Many people contributed to this list: Many long-forgotten YouTube members who had uploaded videos of their favourite songs, my sisters, many blogs from around the world and only one member from Listal, Rocket Scientist... They really helped a-lot so,
THANK YOU
Even though I've ranked them, I'm not gonna place the numbers here, just the album(s) and the songs which I selected from them!
