Another daunting task, but alas I have finally compiled it. Similar to the albums list, the criteria is obviously about quality, but in addition comes the social significance of the song in the decade. Social significance on a grand scale is not always the case, as there are plenty of selections on this countdown that were only noteworthy in smaller circles, while others were celebrated by all - on the dancefloor, in the car, in the bedroom. The exact placement of everything though basically came down to who's better, who's best. Before I unleash the countdown in full (I'll be revealing them 25 per day this week), I figured I would first indulge you with some favorites of mine that narrowly missed inclusion. For each track, I will be supplying a youtube clip for audio support purposes. Enjoy!
