for posting and bringing to attention.

I was thinking the last category may be party songs.

So now, with six, Madge claims the most female entries. Shocker, isn't it?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/series/1000-songs-everyone-must-hear

The 'songs that we forgot' have now been posted. These are 70 songs recommended by readers, but chosen by editors from the recommendations, so I don't know if they'll be eligible, but they're still interesting.

hectorthebat, I don't think I will include these selected readers' votes, but I don't know if I ever thanked you for all your posts, so...

Thank you!
