Sanyo's Favourite Songs Of All Time, Ever.




So we come to it at last, the great list of our time. 40 years in the making and stretching back over 50 years this is a list of the songs that have meant most to me in my life. The only qualifications i have to make are that there are no full on dance tracks in this list as i find it impossible to compare them to other songs and also i have omitted 2 of my favourite "pieces" in music history "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Suppers Ready" as being over 20 minutes long they can't really be classed along with other songs in my opinion.

At the bottom of the list you can find a link to download all the songs if you feel like. Anyway thanks so much for all the artists in this list for making my life a thousand times better than it otherwise would have been.

Love Music Love Life
