Some really tough matches. Birdland and I Know What I Know are both great. Frankly Mr Shankly and Haiti are also strong songs I couldn't vote for.

There's no song here that is bad; in fact, most of these are great! I'm even starting to come around on Joy Division, though they certainly aren't one of the greatest things of all time (probably I find them more overrated than outright dislike them).

I'm not really an Arcade Fire fan (and I AM a Stevie Wonder fan) but this was my toughest choice. I actually enjoyed the AF track.
