1 Jan 2017: Happy New Year!
« on: January 02, 2017, 11:27:02 AM »
I thought he was waiting until Wednesday to come back but here we are: a set of songs related to "firsts", or something.  And yes the date is correct -- this set was posted yesterday as a New Year's Day extra. There's a Jan 2nd set too.

Yep, I was online shortly after midnight on Jan 1 ('cause I have no social life) and noticed that their email had arrived at like 12:01am.

I'm listening to the "Firsts" set today.

The game is to guess what each song is the first of. The first two were pretty easy, but I don't know what "Born in the USA" is first of. Maybe the first Bruce album with lyrics you could understand?

Big Shot? Well, it's the first track on "52nd Street", but ummm, so? Maybe it's something else.

NTM song from Ian Anderson. Maybe his first solo song? Sounds a lot like Dire Straits.

No clue about "Washington on Your Side" or Adele's "Hello", except maybe first #1 single.
