RPA's Top 500 Songs

[Nazgul]

You may be wondering, have I lost my mind. The answer is yes and it's old news.

Okay, so yet another in a series of lists compiled by the greatest and most important people on the net; the members of RPA.

Now as thee are a hell of a lot of songs out there and wide and varied range of musical tastes on the site, I'm gonna make this a top 500. Simply post your top 20 favourite songs, with their artists, and I will keep a running tally and compile the list. You may post less than 20 but not more. If more than 20 songs are on a list I will ignore any after the twentieth.

And yes, I know, 20 isn't enough, but think of it like this, you are stranded on a desert island and may only have 20 songs for the rest of eternity, what would those songs be.

So here's mine in no particualr order and links to the songs are entirely optional. If you choose to add a link, please follow RPA rules.
