@Azzaman . Shees , that's some brutal culling . You must feel strongly about it cause I just know there are other songs you would want to add . I'm hoping by sliding my picks down the bottom I can avoid the wrath a little longer

I think someone just cheated. I'd be happy to add a new #1 if we really do get two picks. :)

Changing the song and keeping the artist is one or two actions?

Since the list is full now, maybe the songs in list still could be swapped, but only be removed by dropping off the list rather than being deleted.

Being old doesn't make a song any better. A song could be out for a week, and it could still be one of the greatest ever.
 
True dat. 'Friday' by Rebecca Black will suck in a hundred years' tiem still while The Dubliners will continue to shine.

"Greatness", when discussing art, implies that a song has some collective significance, and time is a pretty major prerequisite for that in all but a handful of cases. We're not so much looking for a list of songs that we all consider enjoyable- that's a sure fire way to end up with thirty lower common denominators, for a start- but of songs that we can all agree are worthy of respect and recognition.

(Edit: Noting that this is still a little bit subjective. I suspect that if me and Takhisis were left to our down devices, we'd end up putting together a "Best of the Dubliners" track listing. :lol:)
