1010 Songs You Must Own!

(September 2004)

“What do you get if you put together: 200 tracks handpicked by the stars, 500 expertly selected by Q, 300 tunes to live your life by and the 10 best songs ever written? Answer: the ultimate music collection. Take it away, it’s all yours…”

The order the lists appear here differ slightly from the magazine for clarity. All lists are alphabetical by song, unless indicated otherwise. I have tended to omit the word ‘the’ unless essential to understanding of song or band name. I have therefore altered alphabetical orders to incorporate this. The Q50s were scattered throughout the feature, they’re listed here at the beginning. The celebrity picks lists were generally in no order, so they’re now alphabetical, with a “*” indicating the ‘essential track’ where it was listed as such.
