18. A song from the year you were born
Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky

Watch on YouTube

Dark Side of the Moon is still one of the best pieces of music I know, and this sits right at the centre. Nothing else ever sounded like it. Also, this video is, as I believe the kids say, #2020mood.

Can't forget Ornette.

I gravitated to all of these albums as an adult, completely unaware they were made during my birth year; it's as if I were bio-electrically attuned to find them.

(Or maybe it's because they're great fucking records.)

Very much the same with me and 1973. Dark Side, Raw Power, Berlin, Closing Time, Aladdin Sane, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paris 1919... A lot of great people either breaking through or hitting an early peak.
