List of songs that have been considered among the greatest ever
POV selection results in very short list, almost completely biased towards 1960s/1970s rock. Will essentially repeat information from The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and the Recording Industry Association of America's Songs of the Century. --FuriousFreddy 14:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment. Nom should explain the difference with List of songs in English labeled the worst ever, which recently was on AfD and was kept. -- JJay 18:26, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I was not involved in that debate. If I were, I'd have voted a strong delete. --FuriousFreddy 03:33, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. -- JJay 04:18, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I cant see any really valid reason at this point to delete. -- JJay 18:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. While it is well-sourced, it is a biased list and could probably be merged into rock 'n' roll directly.  The "worst ever" list at least covers several different genres. --Idont Havaname 20:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. See the recently concluded discussion about lists of songs. Fairly extensive reasons and citations are given for each song to justify inclusion.  This seems to meet the agreed criteria of verifiability, appropriate breadth, and significance.  Smerdis of Tlön 04:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The list essentially seeks to duplicate two other already existing Wikipedia lists. On top of that, song selection as it stands now is obviously POV. --FuriousFreddy 05:01, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: non-encyclopedic, prone to very quick degradation. Pavel Vozenilek 02:20, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep referenced, verifiable.  Grue   17:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete bias POV list even with references.Gateman1997 23:59, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Rhollenton. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
