Playlists

This is probably only of interest to me, but I listen to Youtube on two different devices (my laptop and a phone) and there are subtle differences in the playlists.  Also, I guess I listen more on the laptop and the playlist has evolved more with some things having dropped off almost entirely, even things that were earworms a few months back.  Rather than spending too much time trying to sort them out, I may just list what is in heavy rotation now and some of the songs in the "long tail."  While the core of my listening habits are grounded in the New Wave 1980s and the alternative wave of the early 90s, there are certainly songs from later eras that have made the cut, so to speak.  I might colour code them by decade later on just for my own amusement.
