That’s one hell of a list! Is that in order of favourites from 1 to 500? I don’t think I could manage that (in fact, I know I couldn’t), so well done you!

I haven’t read it closely, but my main disagreement would be your rating of Fleetwood Mac who to my mind ceased to exist after Peter Green left… while the two songs you cited were big money spinners (chart toppers), I’d rank Albatross, Oh Well Parts 1&2, The Green Manalishi and Black Magic Woman from Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac, well ahead of them as songs.
