Interesting but some songs are misplaced.

Graceland by Paul Simon is an ok song but in terms of chills doesn't hold a candle to some of his other works e.g. America, Sound of Silence, Train in the Distance.

Also it has Celine Dion on the list. That fact alone makes me treat the list with a high degree of scepticism.

I also feel as I have suggested before that when you hear songs makes a difference, and by that I don't just mean your circunstances. I think that we have different hearing in adolescence.

The lune in Young Americans  that 'there ain't one damn song that can make be break down and cry' always chimes. It's not the songs that got small (though I might argue they are smaller now) but my hearing changed.
