This is the list of my favorite 100 (Actually 200) English songs of all time.
Some rows have multiple entries separated by /, which are either the other great songs by the same artist or the other versions of the same song sung by different artists, deserving to be in that place in the list. This is done mainly to reduce the length of the list.
The list is arranged in order. But I wouldn’t worry too much about it.Every song in this list can be moved up or down by up to 5 or even 10 places.It depends on your personal choice and the liking for a particular genre of music.
Important things it has got all my favorite songs in place. I enjoy these songs very much and I hope they make you enjoy it too. Any songs that I may have missed or any comments, observations are most welcome. It will help me to come across even more great songs and I will be grateful to you for that.
I haven’t added a description for any of these songs. But I am planning to.
Enjoy the list..
