My mum is getting 50 next week and I am making her a Soundtrack Of Her Life, which means that I put one song per year (from 1959-2009) on a CD. The project went very well when I chose songs from the 60s and 70s, it got harder in the 80s, but the 90s are terrible: Stupid boygroups, weird techno music and meaningless love songs really don't fit here!
So I thought that maybe you all could help me complete the Soundtrack of my mum's life (I got that idea from Gilmore Girls by the way). Here is the list of the songs I have already chosen (to give you an idea of what I have in mind).
Thank you all in advance!
