The 30 Day Song Challenge

Posted April 29, 2011 @ 19:35:47 EDT.

I just finished up a meme thing called the 30 Day Song Challenge on Facebook. In a nutshell: post a link to one song per day for an entire month based on a predetermined list. I'm not sure who came up with it originally, but it's a pretty cool idea. In fact, a few other folks have followed my lead and are now posting their own lists... so I get to explore some different musical tastes.

Anyway, here's my list. I'm showing my age with a lot of these, not to mention my complete lack of hipness, but I know no other way to be. Thank goodness for the cool people in my life.
