The fact you tell stories about songs doesn't mean are the best, all depends the criterion of selection.

Well, I don't think they picked any songs because they didn't like them. The point is that they're all iconic.

Of course they like...but people also like guilty pleasures. The criterion needs to be verified and Henrik has the last word

Kind of think this could go either way. I know it's not a defined list like many others on AM but there may be a place for it. Like you said panam, Henrik will be the ultimate decision maker of course.

I think this could be added, as you're right that a few similar books have been included already. I should probably have a special weight deduction though for undefined lists (no "top", "best", "greatest", "favorite" or whatever in the title).
