In my last post - 5 Decades - I said I was going to compile a list of 35 songs, one for each year that I have lived, from 1979 till 2013. I came up with some rules that I had to follow, which is why it took me a while - more than two months - but I was finally able to complete the project.
Here is the song list. The compilation can be downloaded here: https://bit.ly/PentadecadentMe__
