Someone has gone to a great effort to compile this list on You Tube of "1001 songs you must hear before you die”.

There is no risk of a fatal outcome because some of the videos have been deleted!
Some of the earlier entries will be of interest to Jazz and Blues fans....
Bessie Smith singing ‘St Louis Blues’; Louis Armstrong singing ‘St James Infirmary’; Billie Holiday ‘Strange Fruit’; Leadbelly ‘The Gallis Pole’; Robert Johnson ‘Crossroads’; BB King ‘The Thrill is Gone’, Jackie Brenston ‘Rocket 88’;
Later entries include the Flamingos ‘I only have Eyes for You’, The Kingsmen ‘Louie Louie’, Grandmaster Flash ‘The Message’ and even Lorraine Ellison ‘Stay with Me’.
I expect everyone can find obvious omissions. I noticed the absence of Ketty Lester’s ‘Love Letters’, Tommy Tucker’s ‘Hi Heel Sneakers’, the Valentinos ‘Its all Over Now” ...plus no Prince Buster or Skatellites!! But mostly it is very good and interesting.
