So you think Stairway to Heaven is the 2nd best song of all time? Well great, but why? What makes your reasoning for it being there any different to the millions of other lists that have that song in it?
Is it there because they all put it in so you felt obliged to put it in your own?
Does it represent something special to you which is why it's there?
Is it there because you somehow feel not having it there makes this list somehow lacking in credibility?

We don't know any of this , so what's there to discuss about it?
The way I saw it was like this. Upon noticing a song that you or anyone else believe should not be in its spot that it is on the list, you or anyone else could dispute it by questioning its merits.

I shouldn't have to be the one doing all the work
