30 Days Of Adam Adamant #3

05. Your song/fan mix for the show

I love this question. I had lots of fun answering this one, but I took a different tack to the traditional approach, of searching for songs with appropriate themes. Adam was frozen in a block of ice in 1901, and thawed in 1966. That means that he missed a whole chunk of the history of music - the entirety of the history of popular music. So I decided to clue him in, entirely against his wishes no doubt, with a quick tour of the first two thirds of the twentieth century. Beginning with something much older, that he would have been familiar with, and then gradually bringing him bang up to date (or up to date for 1966, anyway).
