Bumping this from a thread last week, when I couldn't find a tune for 1976 to complete a playlist for a mates 40th birthday...feel free to destroy it, bear in mind it's kind of a path of music that our group of friends have liked at certain times, whether at the time or in retrospect. It's not the best track from every year! Subjective anyway ain't it...
