Noticing the absence of Neutral Milk Hotel in your 1998 list, what is your opinion of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea?

Edit: Ok, thanks for explaining, slick.

I enjoy In the Aeroplane Over the Sea as an entire album but Holland, 1945 is only real standout track I considered for the playlist I am creating but it is always tough to limit yourself to just 50 songs each year...

Re: My Top 50 Songs from each of the past 50 Years

Post by slick »

So, here is the end of result of all of these lists... I wanted to create a solid playlist that reflected my musical tastes so I chose this format which really became My Top 50 Songs of the Past 52 years but who can object to a few extra songs. Total of 2558 songs as 42 were not available on Spotify...
