With more and more people staying at home there is a marked increase in listening to and downloading music. I have to say that when it comes to modern songs there are only a few names I recognise. Comes from me being an old git. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52131818 Some fine songs in 1969. 1984, simply for being That Year ! Nah 1969 and 1977 were also really good years for music. After the mid 1990s I struggle, bar off the top of my head, Stereophonics and Oasis. Yeah Old Git for music too
