  1. Well, I think you should do the 60s next! I’m compiling my list of fave albums and it’s sadly lacking in 60s stuff, so this is an area I need some help with, lol! I’m sure there’s lots that I’ve just completely missed hearing that I will love once introduced to! Great playlist BTW. =)

      3. Hey! No probs; when I read your post this morning I was like ‘Nooooo!’! So I’m glad the 60s are coming, yay! But take your time, you know? No rush, you have to enjoy making the playlists. And also, have fun at Augie and TFS this weekend (that’s right, yes?)…And of course you need to blog about them, too! (Lol, newspaper…) =)

  2. Whats your YT channel William…will follow. I am listening to that version of Out of Control by U2 from Boy, their best album in my opinion, loved them when they were all post-punk. A really great playlist thanks

    1. my yt is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuFt6-JND_u2OPSk2dww9Uw/playlists
      what’s yours? i mainly just make never-ending playlists, just started on years 2005+ which i think i am posting them here on my blog next month, if I’m happy with them and get it right? I’ve not posted my epic rage playlist here which I’ve narrowed down to only something like 500+ video clips! i should post it just to see if anyone will watch/listen to over 500 songs/videos? i just update that one the other day but i never upload stuff and do much other than that, how about you?
      Glad you enjoy that 79 playlist and yeah i really love early U2 too!
      Cheers 🙂

      1. I would listen, it may give me some inspiration and new bands to follow I’m always interested in hearing new or old music I have never heard before. Here’s my YT https://www.youtube.com/user/yoyoyo26140 I have done a lot of videos in recent months from travels around the place and try to match it to music I think fits the vibe of the video. Although I must admit feel a bit bad I use copyright music in them…its just that when producing videos, those free or paid background music they have for people to use sound so corney and horrible, I just can’t bring myself to add this shit music to my own videos! Hve a look if you want and let me know what you think 🙂 Cheers
