The ToC in the book of depressing songs you mentions does not list the songs as part of the chapter title which would reduce the need for an index?

The book has a table of contents which divides the book into general areas and then the songs that fall into that area. As an example, one section of the book lists the following:
Since the book only has a Table of Contents (TOC), the only way to find a specific song is to scan through the TOC until I find the song I'm looking for. It would be helpful to have an alphabetical index at the end of the book so I can quickly locate the song I'm looking for.
I have the similar issue with the book
VH1 - 100 Greatest Albums (2003). It lists the album in order by rank (#1 to #100). Just like the above book, the only way to find a specific album is to look through the entire TOC until I find the album. The page numbers don't match up to the rank since the number of pages per album varies from 1 to 4.
