Might need some help transcribing these. I don't know if these have been brought up before, but Stereogum has a TON of "best songs by ____" lists, so I'll try to copy as many as I can. AXS also has lists like that, but that's for another time. They're single-critic, for the most part, but does it count as a representative for the whole website? I'll start with one, and if there's an answer on their eligibility, I'll post some more.

Re: Stereogum Artists Lists
Not eligible. There's a requirement of at least 30 songs for lists by artists. They also need to be by multiple writers.
