Re: My Top 50 Songs from each of the past 50 Years
Easier in terms of my musical sweet spot 1986-2005 but always tough to narrow it down to just 50 and try to come up with an order that makes sense!!!iamwhoambic wrote:Will it become harder or easier for you as you progress towards 2016?
Also, 1966 through 2016 is 51 years
And math was never a strong suit, I guess we are going to go 52 years because by the time I build this it will be time to construct a top 50 list from this year.

Re: My Top 50 Songs from each of the past 50 Years
Excellent thread. Excellent taste in music. Frankly it is almost scary to me how much your taste syncs up with mine. I couldn't believe some of the calls. I start seeing Mission of Burma and the Furs towards the top of some charts, and I am impressed. Good going. Did you ever get into the Gun Club? I'm curious for the Brit Pop years, and also for the great school of new bands from '03-'05.
