I always get blamed for EVERYTHING.
Hey, people who don't already, follow the development of my exhaustive history of rock. I am up to '71 at this point, trying to cover a couple of years per month, although admittedly people are being worn out by all the posts, especially folks who don't care about them. But if you want to exhaust the best songs from every year of rock, I guarantee you'll hear a LOT of stuff you've never heard before.
Here's 1971 so far
