You and I have a perfect match from the 50s through the 70s. I'll have to listen to your other picks.

My computer doesn't like too many emded videos within a page, so I agree with the second point as for the first point could always just post a link rather than embed the video.

As for mine, it depends on my mood, and I doubt I could narrow it down to a favourite song of the decade, a particular year maybe but not decade.
