This list is an ongoing work. The way I maintain it is I write articles for the site and post them on an ongoing basis, essentially like a blog, then periodically I come and update this master list. So you may find songs on the site that aren’t on this list, but will be added in the next update.

A historically accurate list would be based mainly on 45 RPM singles, with some 8-Track tapes and 33 RPM LPs thrown in. But many of those are now collectors items and hard to get. In most cases, if I can find the 45 RPM version on a CD or MP3, that’s what I’ve listed. If I can only find the album version on CD or MP3, then I figure that’s really the only practical option for the vast majority of people, and should for the most part be very similar to the single version, if not identical. Also, for brevity, I’ve listed multiple singles on the same row if they were included on the same LP.
