    Sweet Caroline 1960 ? I would have thought more like 1970 or later, probably 1972.

    Muddy Waters 1946

    Although I do have some Dvorak and Prokofiev, not sure why they don't show the years

    I have fair bit of early 20's blues on mine, Leadbelly being my favourite including such timeless classics as Goodnight Irene, Midnight Special and CC Rider.

    thanks Algarve, I've also worked on my top 20 - quite easy when I only have 47 songs classed as rockabilly/psychobilly, twelve of which are an Imelda May album!
    I'll post when you start the thread and hopefully DA9 and others will have plenty of suggestions too.
