ETA: I emailed AL with these suggestions:

Pezband, "Baby It's Cold Outside"
Piper (Billy Squier's first band), either "Can't Wait" or "Who's Your Boyfriend?"
Rubinoos, "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend"

She said it was going in reverse...were all the songs in reverse chronological order?  Seems like "So It Goes" was older than some that came after it.  But overall, it seems that way.

Yes, I can make an mp3 file later today.  I can't post to the board from work (i'm home at the moment) so look for a post w link later tonight perhaps.
