This is just an interesting post:
For her 36th birthday, a friend asked a favor: Name one great pop song for each year of her life. I added a rule of my own, not to choose more than one song by any one artist. If you're gong to make a mix tape, you've really got to mix it up. For my birthday, here are 37 of'em. We'll start in 1969 and work up to 2005.
What's interesting to me is not all the choices I'd argue with -- that's part of the fun of a list like this. I know more of songs from the later years than I would have imagined. Just shows how popular culture can seep into you even if you make a decision to turn your back on it. It probably doesn't hurt that there's such a lack of really new stuff these days, when you've got Johnny Cash covering Depeche Mode and Feist doing an old Bee-Gees song.
