These would be some I'd consider, I think 50 songs is impossible but good luck; this should help me with my list.

How about putting down the artists?

I'm pretty sure that in an exchange we had about two weeks ago you made it perfectly clear that you have no idea what 'melody' is. How is it now one of your criteria in one of these silly lists?

"In music, a melody, also tune, voice, or line, is a series of linear events or a succession, not a simultaneity as in a chord (see harmony). However, this succession must contain change of some kind and be perceived as a single entity (possibly Gestalt) to be called a melody. Most specifically this includes patterns of changing pitches and durations, while most generally it includes any interacting patterns of changing events or quality. "Melody IS said to result where there are interacting patterns of changing events occurring in time."[1]"-Wikipedia

Yes, only two weeks ago you defined melody as

'A melody, also known as a tune, is combined with harmony to create a pitch, which gives music(In my opinion)it's richness, and distinguishes it from poetry with a beat'

which is obviously a definition written by someone who actually has no idea what he is defining.

Oh honestly that was more than 2 weeks ago, and just maybe I learned something. Ever think of that?
