Gray's Music Almanac 1954-2013: A Power Hour Mix

Hey. I made you a mix for next time you want to do a Power Hour drinking game (drinking one shot of beer per minute for an hour, with 60 minute-long song samples as time-keeper). This one compiles songs, one for each of the last 60 years, so you can time travel while you poison yourself. Enjoy.
