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

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