Anyone ever seen this feature? A bunch of Michael Jackson songs (fittingly) have been added to the site- each entry hasa different blyine (to form a collective-writer feature.
Some other spinner lists/features are about specific genres/topics, whereas this is a general best-songs-sorta feature.

Henrik, can you move this to the Critics list forum/ It was started before the forum split. Thanks. :)

It seems as if they choose songs using different themes rather than a "best-of-everything", so for a similar reason as the NPR list this list will not be included. And I can't move a thread to another forum. Sorry, JR.
