We are now into the 7th decade of pop as the charts started in the 50s, ie the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s.

So, this is a chance to reflect on an example of a song from each of 5,6 or 7 successive decades. I shall start with my fave song of the 60s-10s so far as follows:

60s Beach Boys:- Do It Again
70s Alan Price:- Jarrow Song
80s Bangles:- Walk Like an Egyptian
90s Natalie Imbruglia:- Torn
00s Franz Ferdinand:- Take Me Out
10s Joshua Radin:- Brand New Day

A bump for anyone who wants to join in, but I couldn't possibly pick a favourite song from each decade personally

It doesn't even have to be your favourite from the decade. Just anything you feel like mentioning from successive decades. I shall do a full 50s-10s example:

50s That'll Be the Day ~ Buddy Holly
60s I Feel Fine ~ the Beatles
70s Jarrow Song ~ Alan Price
80s Stand & Deliver ~ Adam & the Ants
90s Sleeping Satellite ~ Tasmin Archer
00s You Were Right ~ Badly Drawn Boy
10s AKA What a Life ~ Noel Gallagher's High-Flying Birds
