There's 123 hours and 40 minutes of music there so hopefully should cover the commute

I must admit that I've cheated and I've been following this for a while as I was already following GS since the lockdown playlists.

Quality playlist. Just opened it on random and Paninaro has come one. What a cracking PSB tune that is. Right up my street.

One of the bands from the 80s (and from Sheffield) who never really made it and faded away. Never understood why.

Fighting my way through Elvis, stuff I have never heard before. The wifey is going to have no control of the music for a while.

That's a really interesting definition of awful (especially considering the stuff you like). You've obviously not got to some of the real rubbish I felt inclined to include such as Huey Lewis, Bon Jovi and Dollar!!

For the music anoraks like me, I know there are some tracks that are technically 1979, but they were songs still played a lot in 1980 and fitted with the vibe of other tracks by the same artist. I also included one or two early 1990 songs for the same reason (especially if the band disappeared or changed direction after their one 1990 single). In the main I avoided album tracks or b-sides, but included some that I really liked or made me nostalgic for the 80s (Late Bar by Duran Duran for example).
It's not really my kind of music but it must have taken you ages to put that playlist together. My longest playlist only has about three hundred songs on it. I do have quite a lot of playlists though.

I think I started in the summer of 2019 looking at the "date added" field on the tracks and just kept revisiting it when I was in the mood. This week I've been off work and determined to "finish" it so put a lot of hours in. I'm sure I'll add extra tracks as I remember them though!
That's me on Spotify, feel free to follow me and have a look at my other playlists (and then I can reciprocate lol)
You never really 'finish' a playlist mate. I add stuff to mine all the time. I just use them to stop me forgetting stuff. And they're kind of all in categories. I have one for sixties girl groups, one for twee-pop, one for shoegaze/dream pop one for female fronted bands and female singer songwriters etc, etc. I'm not sharing them with any b*gger on here though. I'm still hurting from when Erimus74 told me that I had bad taste in music. I cried for weeks after he told me that.I think I started in the summer of 2019 looking at the "date added" field on the tracks and just kept revisiting it when I was in the mood.
