16. This kind of thread is often generational

And I do not like hip-hop...I'm a die hard classic R and R, country, folk, classical, so I'm reticent to post. I could post those songs, but to those under 30, the songs may not mean anything to them.

[mark414]

17. hey did you see my list?

all of my songs were released by the time i was 6 years old, nearly all of them before i was even born...so post!
