Just going through this list, the amount of genius every song a work of art, it’s staggering! How many artists can really compare to his longevity of output that’s both magical, relevant and timeless. Not many.

Glad this one made their cut, an underrated classic ....

Redondo Beach is an erm interesting choice in the top 50... Very surprised Trouble Loves Me isn't there but I suppose there's no accounting for taste.
 
What a load of bollocks. Some absolute clunkers on that list and some brilliant songs left out. Typical stupid yanks!
 
how the fook is Dagenham Dave on this but not Hold Onto Your Friends, this is what you get when you hire journalist interns to write your content !
 
they missed out everyone’s favourite song ‘Irish Blood, English Racist’
