I am leaving off the "song you like by artist you hate" category altogether
Could I do that? I (just) have room for 20, but I'd rather do "stump Hec & Jon" or "TV theme song."

'Shells'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Those are my two hardest categories, too (artist you hate/song you like & guilty pleasures, natch). So difficult that I haven't filled them yet. But I will persevere. The dude abides.

Well, I haven't cleared it with our benevolent dictator, but it's the only way I can fit the other 19 songs on there.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I had to cut one of the "bonus" categories, but I really wanted to try to stump Hec & Jon. (Although it was a local artist, so I don't know that it would have counted anyway.)
I chose to cut "song you like just for the title." It didn't make me too sad, but I did really like the song.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And I am having the devil's own time finding a song from the year I was born that 1) I like and 2) I own.
What year were you born, Kate? (The answer is going to make me reach for my heart medicine, I know). 1978?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What year were you born, Kate? (The answer is going to make me reach for my heart medicine, I know). 1978?
I was thinking "Greatest Hits of the Eighties" would probably have something for her.
PS. You don't get to complain. I had to find something from 1952!

Oh, David. Do you really want to know? Okay, I'll whitefont it to spare the rest of you: 1980 .

1978 is easy. Or, okay, I thought it was easy. Possibly because I've been listening to the song in question a lot lately anyhow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I was afraid of that.
While that was a bad year for the folkie stuff you cut your teeth on, that's not a bad year for music at all.
Elvis Costello's Get Happy came out that year.
XTC's Black Sea.
Squeeze's Argybargy.

When I did a song for each year of my life mix, my 1980 song was "Love Song," by the Au Pairs. I know U2's Boy is that year too, and maybe some early Cure stuff? Blondie? Prince?
I'm kinda stumped.
