The 100 Most Beautiful Songs…Ever!

An innocent question was posed on Reddit the other day by user with the charming handle of McSlurryHole:

Think to yourself, what is the most beautiful song you have ever heard, im not talking about your favourite song, or the most technical, or something that made you cry, I just want to know the song that made you say “holy shit… I could die to this”

The result was (as of this writing) 9,676 responses.  Someone else then went through the data and constructed a list of the top 100 responses and posted it for everyone to listen to on Spotify.  Mashable has an example.

Sadly, we Canadians are still being denied the Spotify experience, so we’ll just have to read up on everything and compile our own embeddable playlist on a platform we can all use.  Anyone up to the task?
