Comment:
These are songs that were mostly special to me in my growing and prime years of life. In this mix I've chosen a pop and R&B song for each even year from 1956 to 1978. Some of the most influential songs used here are tracks 1, 2, 9, and 13-19.
Feedback:
Some good picks, Joe! I find your remark about learning to love R&B very curious. As a long-time AOTM-er, I do recall that your earlier mixes had no soul or funk. (This was evident to me as the majority of my mix contributions were funk-driven -- my favorite genre -- and I was always on the lookout for new mixes posted on the site that included R&B.) Your more recent offerings have certainly shown an appreciation for Motown and soul artists. (By the way ... whaddya think of this new incarnation of AOTM? Wish the song listings were numbered, among other things.)
