Typically, music experts compile lists of their favorite songs in a given genre of music. They carefully weigh the merits of each song and give it a ranking according to its impact on the music scene. These analyses tend to be comprehensive in nature, but nonetheless controversial. Judgment of the value of anything in life after all has all kinds of intrinsic biases that make categorization a complicated mess. Here’s my highly subjective top 25 list of Spanish rock songs, for which gut feeling is the major weight factor, followed by stickiness, and shower-song potential.
