Seems many of your choices are very similar to my own; Bitter Sweet Symphony, Waterloo Sunset, Whiter Shade of Pale, Wonderwall and many, many more I'd also vote as the 'Greatest Songs'.

Enjoyed going through your list!

All the best, Camlo

hi 8 months ago

I was a little turned off by the amount of Coldplay, but apart from that great stuff. But then Taylor Swift? Are you kiddding me?
