My favorite 20. Review on Twenty Best English Songs

Ok, I am no great music critic, but having been listening to songs for the last 3 decades I have built up a distinct interest of my own. The songs listed here are ones that have appealed to me through the times. I couldn't separate the #1 song into three because each is a #1 for me depending when I am listening to it.

Yes, U2 is my greatest band ever.
