None so fine
This has been all over the place, and I suppose I've stalled long enough.
The rules: - Go to musicoutfitters.com and, in the search box provided, enter the year you graduated high school.
- From the search results, click the link for the top 100 songs of that year.
- With the resulting list:
- bold the songs you like
strike through the ones you hate
- underline your favorite
- and ignore the ones you don't remember/don't care about.
And now, buoys and gulls, the top 100 of 1969, below the fold. (I mention in passing that of these 99 songs for some reason one is on the list twice I own copies of 94.)
