That’s fun. Can’t help myself, though – I must protest (you had to know this was coming!) – a touch unbalanced across the centuries – even decades.
“Interesting” transitions between the first few numbers – that definitely got better as it went along.
Love the bass!
I was quite pleased that I knew every song till the end of the 80s! 😉 (No comment on how many / few I knew after that)
