Great Idea!

Mine's 1976, and I... uh... I...

Crap.

Would it have killed my parents to do it, like, five years earlier? That would've been way easier.

OOH!

I do have Mingus "Cumbia and Jazz Fusion" which is not only my single favorite composition in any genre, ever, but is twenty-eight minutes long! I'm half-way there already!

Heh heh heh.

That was damn good. I was honestly thinking of "Don't Fear the Reaper" and "Step Right Up," though I didn't know the exact year on either.

And I'm a fan of Stevie Wonder, Lou Reed, and Parliament.
