Playlist by Algernon with a little help.  

While researching for other things, I came upon this list. On 20 June, 2012, New Music Express released its top 100 songs of the last 60 years, well since its first release in 1952. Below is the top 20 of which I’ve selected 16. The Beach Boys appeared on last week’s list, The Dizzee Rascal tune is rubbish and didn’t feel  like including the Sex Pistols.
