Song lists for individual artists must be at least 20 or 30 song long to be eligible; I don't remember the exact threshold.

I heard something about it being at least longer than a top ten.

Are any of these Paste lists by combined staff?

Some are compiled by staff, some are not (I think) but I thought there would be no problem since that The Guardian ones are made by 1 critic.

Having gone through them all to see which were credited to "staff" or multiple writers as opposed to one writer, the eligible lists would be:
- St. Vincent
- Joanna Newsom
- Tame Impala
- Taylor Swift
- Angel Olsen
- Sleater-Kinney
- Britpop
The harder ones to figure out are the ones credited to one writer that still present themselves as staff picks (for instance, Max Blau is credited for the Van Morrison list, but also says "Paste has put together..."). So, the debatable ones would be:
- Van Morrison
- Neil Young
- The Clash
- The Beach Boys
- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
- Thom Yorke
- Dixie Chicks

I answered the question, but you can do it too if you are not satisfied.

For future reference, the rule of thumb around here is that lists of the best songs by a certain band/artist have to have two or more writers and feature eleven or more songs. The exceptions are usually if it's the focus of an entire book (like the books about the greatest Beatles/Stones/Tom Petty etc songs that are included on AM), but there is wiggle room here and there depending on what Henrik says and how feasible it is to add the list(s).

Thank you,
According to this the Guardian lists are not eligible I guess
