Quoting:
I know similar things have been asked before, but at this point, what would be your top 40 records of all time? Two littles rules which you have to abide by whilst compiling your list:

~ You CANNOT say ' Any song by so and so' - You must name one particular song!

~ You also can ONLY pick one song per band. This is gonna be tough for me with bands like 'The Smiths' etc... - but it has to be done :)

Im intruiged to see all your music choices, as we all often know what kind of bands everyone likes, but not certain favourite songs :)
