Hehe... I meant for it to be a bit on the hard side, but I also tried
to make at least part of the artist-song combination gettable.
That's why the vast majority (about 90%) of the songs were singles,
meaning if you listen to the radio, you'll at least be familiar with
either the artist or the song from hearing it in your car or at a
restaurant.
My intent for Exit Music was for it to consist of songs from 'mainly
the 90s and beyond' because that's the era that works best for me. I
even got complaints from my team-mates about there not being enough
'older' songs (which I never intended to include except for a
handful), but since my idea from the beginning was to create a
competition that tests knowledge of music from the 90s onward,
staying (really) current, as Steve pointed out, was fine with me,
though I should've at least had a couple of country songs in there as
well ;-)
Hanson, looking forward to organizing the next instalment
