YOUR finest fifty...

Is it possible to make an all-time top fifty? Sure you can pick 80 songs and narrow it down to a final half-century but then, if they are ALL great and mean a lot to you, how do you pick a number one?

I've made this attempt anyway , maybe if you have the time you'd care to list your own "finest fifty"?
