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.
