Songs that Encapsulate Eras
I'm not trying to pick out the best or the most significant for a wide swath of the population. I'm reflecting on my decades of life & choosing one tune. If the years were reduced to a song-length montage these are the songs I would currently use for each decade:
2020s β [too soon to tell]
2010s β Frank Ocean Nights
2000s β Modest Mouse Float On
1990s β The Breeders Cannonball
1980s β Prince When Doves Cry
1970s β Gloria Gaynor I Will Survive

in reply to Rob π³οΈβπ RMiddleton.Art • • •Sorry but if you want to encapsulate the 70s for real the only choice is Afternoon Delight.
- It was polished but still ugly.
- It acknowledged the sexual revolution but made it boring.
- It sounded like the suburbs looked.
- It was cringe in real time but seems kinda funny now.
- It's impossible to see or hear and not think "What the hell were people thinking back then?"
