I'm thinking because we are males. It might be different if females were selecting songs.
There are many female artists songs that last the ages in my mind?
like:
"Non, Je ne regrette rien" Song by Edith Piaf (also called the Little Sparrow).

While working as a music executive, Orlando received "Candida," a song other producers and singers had turned down. Originally, Orlando could not lend his name to the song, as he was working for April-Blackwood and recording under his name would be a professional conflict of interest. After producer Hank Medress insisted Orlando dub his voice over the male vocals on the original track, Bell Records released the single as being performed by the band "Dawn" to protect Orlando's position.
