This playlist is an ongoing effort and the result of a very complicated alet unsophisticated decision process. It is far from complete. It is not a democratic process I am the sole decider but I do accept suggestions. It’s not just my favorite songs tho—in fact, there are artists on this list whose other songs I like more, but which I don’t think qualify as their “best” songs, on principle (ex. Pixies is one of my favorite bands but though it is far from my fave song it would feel ridiculous to put any song of theirs besides Where Is My Mind? on the “best” songs list). These, as the description suggests, are defined as the best *WRITTEN* songs of all time from a pop writing perspective (though whether they are each strictly “pop” songs is questionable). Points are given to performance and production only in their support of the writing.
