Epitomes
I was assigned a joint project in music class today, in which a friend and I have to pick two popular songs from each of the past five decades ('60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s) that can be said to epitomize the popular music of that decade and explain why. The two songs must be written and recorded by artists from separate continents. We've decided that I'll take the older half ('60s, '70s, and one of the '80s) and she'll take the newer half. I could rattle off the obvious choices (Good Vibrations, All You Need Is Love, etc.), but I thought I'd try to go for slightly less obvious songs and bands. This isn't cheating, by the way, as I'm allowed to interview somebody who grew up in those decades, in case any of you have qualms.
What would some of your picks be?
