― Little GTFO (contenderizer)

I might need to make a revision on my selections mid-80s onwards.

Why is noone else posting I thought other people were on board with this thread. Now I feel stupid.

A song for each year of your life

Aw but that thread would limit myself to start posting 1985 onwards and most of my favorite songs are 1985 backwards.
