Songs of my life - a song a year 1976-2009

A few years ago I started making a playlist featuring one song for each year of my life. The songs are not necessarily my favourites, but rather ones that were representative of the year for me. I have kept this list up to date, so here it is to the present day, in fact this morning - when I bought Hockey's new single 'Song Away'. Links open in Spotify.
