Start with the most popular and the most MOR. You can't go too wrong with songs that made it to number 1 on Billboard.




which is pretty much why I posted the links to the top 100 songs for the 4 year period that probably influenced the musical taste of the group that's retiring this year.

(To see other years top 100 list, all you have to do is edit the year in the link.)

I saved the lists from 1963 to present so I can put the songs I learn in folders by year (in addition to other ways of storing them) That way, if I play for a class reunion, I can go straight to the folder of songs that were popular during the high school years, and not have to search.

I also created a spreadsheet of the songs, tabbed by year and sortable by ranking, song name, artist and some other factors important to me (acoustic vs electric, danceable vs easy listening etc). I will post this spreadsheet to the Yahoo BIAB forum file archive when its finished, in case anybody else may find it useful.
