Songs of your life meme

New meme time. The rules are pretty simple:

1. For each year you've been alive, post a song title (with performer name) that was released that year. There's some flexibility here - singles, albums, and Billboard Top Songs Chart will all be within a year of each other, but tend not to overlap. You have a song and a date, you're good to go.

2. You have to post songs that you own, or have owned in the past, or your parents owned when you were a child. If there's a year where you just don't have a song, then pick any old song from that year, but mark that year with an asterisk (*).

3. Ladies do not have to list more than the most recent 29 songs. A Gentleman never asks a Lady her age. If you want, though, list 'em all.

4. Once you've posted, tag 4 other bloggers.

Here are the bloggers I'm tagging:

JayG, because I suspect he's got some sweet Motorhead stuff. Or Brian Setzer, Drive Like Lightning (Crash Like Thunder).

DirtCrashr, because whatever he has, it isn't California Dreaming.

Brigid, to see if she has any Jefferson Airplane. Of course, that's more than 29 years, so you know I'm no Gentleman. Whatever it is, it should be yummy.

Edge, because I only have one Movie theme. He'll have a bunch.

Here are my songs. Since I'm really old, there are a lot. You've been warned. Big Redneck shift occurs around 1992.
