I have managed to get through life without ever hearing them. As their catalogue has once again become available on emusic in the UK, I am thinking of sampling about 15 songs. The question is, what would those top 15 songs be? This is where I hand it over to the greater expertise you all have.
Thank you in advance.

Well, you've certainly given me some room to choose from - 53 different songs were recommended, so I'll start with those with multiple nominations and take it from there. Interestingly the top entries from the Word are quite different from the top lists on Spotify and iTunes.
