Song Titles of the 20th Century

     One test in determining whether your music obsession would benefit from some professional help is to count the number of useless lists you continue to update over a period of at least three years. If you have more than three, well… Our personal favorite is still the “Bagpipes in Rock ‘n Roll” list.

     Last week, we attended a concert in which one song title was merely a specific year of the twentieth century. Yes, it’s on the list of such song titles. Below is the list and Soundcloud versions of some of the songs.

    "1901" by Phoenix

    "1904 by Tallest Man on Earth

    "1936 by Phox

    "1957 by Milo Greene

    "1973" by James Blunt

    "1979" by The Smashing Pumpkins

    "1995" by Radio Department

    "1997" by Saint Motel

    "1999" by Shout Out Louds
