Get With The Times

This feature involved reusing old material of mine. To find out more, click here.

After 10 weeks, I was finding the search for 5 new songs rather taxing and decided to turn my attention to the vast array of excellent songs from years gone by. And so Get With The Times was born; a new podcast with an equally stupid name. I decided to divide this series into decades, doing a different one each week.

I was under the impression that because I really liked The Beatles, I had an above average knowledge of older music. I quickly discovered that this wasn’t the case and ended up learning as much from this series as I hoped my readers would. Looking back, it’s actually not too bad with band and song choices being fairly decent. That said, there’s plenty of glaring omissions and if I was to do it today, it would probably be very different. Again, if I said something stupid, don’t hesitate to point it out.
