So many years ago - I'm talking 2005-2006 - I posted countdowns in the Memories From The Past forum of my favorite songs from a specific year. They were super fun to count down, but they're also dated as hell as I have discovered A LOT of music since then. A few days ago I was talking to Julian about the music from 2000 and I thought about the idea of compiling new lists of my favorite songs from each year of music, from 1970 all the way to "stupid 2020". I thought about doing the late 60's as well, but let's be real, 90% of those lists would be Grace.
I sort my MP3's by year (except the 60's which I have all in one folder, and once again, about 30% of the damn folder is Grace ). I know there will be some debate as far as songs that debuted at the end of one year and peaked at the beginning of one, so to make my life easy, I'm just going by the folder they're in. For example, "Adore You" by Harry Styles to many is more of a 2020 song, but it's in my 2019 folder because that's when Fine Line came out. So it will be in the 2019 list.
Also, each list will be at the most 100 songs. Some may be less than that depending on how many songs from that year I have in my library.
The 1970 countdown will be coming very soon!

Vashti Bunyan - Swallow Song
It needs to make the 70's list! It was released in the 70. Please, I am sure you will like it!

Looking forward to this, since I (along with a select few others on this board) grew up in the 70's. JessieLou you can check out my online list for some help if you need it: Bill's Favourites of the 1970's

My top 70 songs of 1970 will start being counted down momentarily. In the meantime, out of the 73 songs from 1970 in my library, these were the unfortunate 3 that missed out on making the list:
71. The Osmonds One Bad Apple 72. Brook Benton Rainy Night In Georgia 73. B.J. Thomas Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

70. The Carpenters We've Only Just Begun 69. Creedence Clearwater Revival Long As I Can See The Light 68. Linda Ronstadt Will You Love Me Tomorrow? 67. James Taylor Sweet Baby James 66. Emerson, Lake & Palmer Lucky Man 65. Simon & Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water 64. The Poppy Family That's Where I Went Wrong 63. Sly & The Family Stone Everybody Is A Star 62. Marvin Gaye The End Of Our Road 61. The Chairmen Of The Board Give Me Just A Little More Time COMING UP: 60. This was this group's last top 40 hit and their only one without their most famous singer. 59. One of the biggest hits of the year; was later covered by The Cranberries in the 90's. 58. One of the MANY songs from this band that peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. 57. A song that will forever remind me of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. 56. This was the last big hit from this group and is from the same artist as #60. 55. Hot Madness remake! 54. From the same artist as #55, don't think this was a big top 40 hit if I recall. 53. The first solo top 40 hit for one of the biggest female artists of the 70's. 52. The first big hit for this group ended up being a Hot 100 #1. 51. A song that ended up getting ripped off a decade later by... the band's own lead singer?!
