1 song per year, 1970 to present
each person lists 1 song per consecutive year, beginning in 1970 and finishing with the current year.
i'll start with a song from 1970. the next post should feature a song from 1971. the post after that- 1972. and so on. once we reach the current year, we'll start all over again with a song from 1970.
note: if a song was released in one year, but became really popular in the following year, you may use either year.
not sure when a song was released? here is a list of all songs released by year:

and here is a list of the top 100 songs by year:
for the curious, i've created a spreadsheet of all completed cycles (a simple cut and paste, with minimal editing for clarity). any one of these cycles makes for a fascinating mixtape. or a trip down memory lane:
