All the above videos are taken from YouTube, mostly courtesy of people who don't hold the rights. I reckon I've bought at least two albums containing each of these songs over the years...

Hehe. I see a lot of songs that could have been in my list also. So many good stuff to choose from ....
Thanks! We are on a similar musical wavelength.
That's an interesting selection. Nothing much from recent years, but we all have our peak years for getting into music. Extra points for the Queen.
Recent years? There has been no decent music in recent years!!!
Actually, there's been a shed-load, but the remit was expanded from just this year. We do need that list as well...
I'm not keeping up with much current music, but there's always something good out there. It just tends to not be in the charts.
Wow, great list !! Thanks for participating :)
I don't know how anyone can say "These are may favourite songs of all time..." It's way to subjective to be definitive. This morning, REM would replace Lour Reed, maybe with 'Man on The Moon'. And everyone knows 'Turn to Stone' is better than 'Wild West Hero'.
I agree to some point, the "favorite songs" do change over time and from time to time. But I do have some songs That are my all time favorites and will stay favorite. But it won't fill a top 50 :)
