Playlist: Where I Was In… 1959?

So it should be tilted: What I listen to from 1959 or which ever year I’m blogging about and you can too, if you want to press play? So bring these yearly playlists back! Starting where I kind-of left off about mid-year because I got sick and tried of making playlists but I’ll make a few more now, OK? I’m going to try and do the 50’s or most of it, well I could see if I can back even more?

Since the last time I blogged up one of these type of posts, I’ve edited and updated all the year playlists from 1960 to 2005 too! So the score line as of right now are: 25 songs: 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 30 songs: 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 40 songs: 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 55 songs: 1984, 1985, 1986. 70 songs: 1987, 1988, 1989, 100 songs: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999. 40 songs: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. I guess no one is going to listen to all those? Only if you need a real shit lot of music to listen too? Mainly for myself but like to hear from you if you enjoyed this or any of those other ones, OK?
