Rankings such as 500 best songs, 500 best albums etc. are too long, too biased, too much anything in my opinion. These rankings, I feel, do not respecr actual musical criteria but social ones or, even worse, convenience (e.g. how come in the best 500 songs there are Taylor Swift or Lizzo’s songs but not a single one by Dire Straits?).
