Working off the Albums project, and using a similar template, let's start this up. The goal is to make the song pages give the basic information in a quick and easy-to-read fashion.

The background colours will vary by the way the song was originally released. This has not yet been decided.

Points to consider:

  • Criteria for having a separate article for an individual song? All songs? Most? Few? How to pick?
  • Criteria for "critical response"
    • magazines and respected web sites only?
    • Fan sites?

---

As these are created, please work towards proper formatting -- song titles go in "quotes", album titles are italicized. Also, if the intent is to have a comprehensive set of song articles for the albums so treated, it might make sense to go ahead and link songs (even ones that don't have articles yet) at the outset, or these links will have to be placed in later.
