Music of the Decade: 2010-2019
This is my (patent pending) low effort decade list. Three songs per year, and once I had three I didn’t go looking for more from that year (but they could be replaced if another song from that year happened to come up.)
I can’t resist being cute so some years have a theme. I can resist putting in too much effort so some years don’t have a theme, or almost have a theme, or are antithetic to theme.
