A while back I did a movie one and I saw this one mentioned on Twitter, so I thought I would try it. I’m not digging deep into the music of each year. I’m looking at the top 100 and picking a song so I’m sure I will miss some favorites and some genres. As we get more recent I might look up certain songs to find the year so I don’t miss them. I might add links to some I think people might not know, but not for most of them. That seems like work.

Nice list. Up to a point I was with you, but then you veered into areas I’m not familiar with. And can I say, now I feel old. You were born the year I graduated high school. I must have said this when you did your movie list.

I’m assuming I lost you when I went country in the 90’s?

I did cheat a little. I forgot that the original post I took it from said to not repeat an artist. I’m happy I cheated though, because this is more accurate.
