Re: Watchmojo.com - Top 100 Songs of All Time (2023)

This list has the vibe of what someone in high school who is just getting into music for the first time would think are the greatest songs ever. There's nothing in here that would remotely suggest deep listening or branching out to lesser known artists, songs, or genres.
