Hello,
I've started yet another project that has already taken up so much time and will likely take up a lot more time. I'm looking for the best songs to define each year. Some of these songs will be chosen based on how popular, how influential, how omnipresent and how much of an impact it made on culture. As are all of my blogs I reserve the right to change them based on finding new information, new or better music and other attributes. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Some of these songs were released by multiple artists and multiple years. Thus I tried to match the year of the song to the main release of that song.
The 1930s:
1) The Ink Spots "If I Didn't Care":
2) The Glenn Miller Orchestra "Sing Sing Sing":
3) The Glenn Miller Orchestra "In The Mood":
4) Gene Autry "Back In The Saddle":
5) Judy Garland "Somewhere Over The Rainbow":
6) Cliff Edwards and Chorus "When You Wish Upon A Star":
