Two Years on Sputnik
As a celebration of two years on this site (along with the fact that, just a few months ago, I celebrated my 30th birthday), I thought I'd put together a list of songs that shaped my tastes at various points during my childhood (with a primary focus on my teenage years, where just over half of this list originates from). List is roughly chronologically arranged from when I got into the song, album, or artist in question. One entry per artist. |
