Comment:

The idea was to make a tape with one song from every year I've been alive...of course, I was limited by the contents of my own music collection and some years I had barely any music at all for (hello, 1974 and 1982). It's not really meant to be an accurate overview of music in general from these years (that would take a lot more than 90 minutes), just a selection of songs I like from this time period...of course, most of them had to be fairly short, because I had to try and fit 28 songs on the tape (unfortunately, 2000 and 2001 didn't fit...maybe next time!)

Capital idea! I actually thought about doing this last night, but it looks likes you beat me to the punch. Mad props for Hot for Teacher, my own personal favorite 80s song.

In God's Country is my fav track from Joshua Tree! This mix brings back a lot of memories. Kudos!

Very Cool. I did the same idea for my Dad's 50th birthday a while ago, only I had to do it for 50 years, which got tough. These things are hard! Great job!

Not much from 74-82 but at least you've got Bruce, The Clash and The Specials.
