I enjoy the book and look for music I don't have
I may not agree with the number of songs selected post 1980 but I will go outside my comfort zone and check out some of the songs in the book. I kind of dropped out of mainstream music sometime early to mid 80's so I definitely have a bias for music before that. Don't get me wrong I do have a number of the songs mentioned from the 80's on, so I'm not completely closed-minded about music. If I would had been consulted I would have included more in the earlier part of the book, IMHO there were quite a few great songs that were omitted.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
