Songs from the 21st Century

Songs from the 21st Century
My Playlist of "Current" Songs
65 Bday Goal
January 1, 2000- this minute

In 1965, my grandparents gave me my first album.  It was the Beatles' Rubber Soul album.  I loved, loved, loved this album.  I still have it.  I have nothing to play it o and haven't listened to it in years but it comes with me every time I make a big move to another local.  I think it will come with me in the coffin.


I am 65 now and for my 65th birthday goal, I am going to study musical all year long.  When I was younger, I used to know every single damn song on the radio.  I knew the song, the words, the artist, the album cover, the release date.  I knew everything about the song.  But then, we moved away from vinyl records and CDs and started using MP3 players and I slowly drifted away from studying so much music.  And then one day, I relieved I don't know any current music.  So I am going to get current if it kills me.

And now, here is my list of my 65 favorite songs and new artists (to me) from the 21st Century, my top play list:
