Alternate History Of Pop - The Story So Far

[Phil_A]

I've started a new thread as the main one is so busy it's easy to lose track of links posted.

As the Alternate History Of Pop thread has now hit the Eighties milestone, I thought it was time to start archiving the song choices, so to that end I've started putting together year-by-year mixes and bunging them up on Mixcloud. There may be some chronological juggling here and there[nb]I got to the end and realised I'd missed Gene Pitney off somehow, so I'll bung on 1963 when I get round to doing it.[/nb], please remind if there's any I've missed off.
