Great list. I don’t have a final version yet, not even close. I wish there was like some bracket type website where it could auto generate a list based on which albums I pick over others and what not. Do you have any recommendations you’d think I should consider listening to from the 90’s before making my list?

Hmm, I'm not sure what you've heard and haven't. Whatever is in my top 20 you haven't heard I highly recommend, otherwise just go down the list and pick which is the highest one you haven't heard
only 5 songs each
i had 103 classics for that year
Well it’s 5 on the charts and 5 random selections. With 3 different people I think that’s a good amount of variety lol

I mean these guys are more familiar with 1965 and after but still I think it’s relatively interesting.

Yeah they had to start with the chart stuff first. I guess they wanted to have some representation of what made an impact on the general population too.

Buddy chose Conway Twitty's It's Only Make Believe for his song of the year
that was my favorite song that I just discovered for that year while doing the thread.
"He out-Elvis's Elvis on this one"
dead at that though. more like he invented Roy Orbison.

I made everybody listen to this when I found it, incredible

I'm 100% positive Roy Orbison switch to style up in 1959 because of this song. He took the operatic style way further but goddamn Conway.
Btw Conway Twitty chose that stage name in an attempt to have an exotic name like Elvis Presley
