So how would you define how to choose your top 100 songs?
My definition would be, songs you would want to listen to, if you were stuck on a desert island, and these were all you could listen to. Songs that bring back memories, remind you of people, places, good times Etc.
The songs that I have chosen are presented here in no particular order, but mainly alphabetical. The list is not quite complete, there are still a few missing.
