(This is a temporary ping list, so don’t worry it won’t last forever!)
Here are the pairs. Please see start of thread for Round 2 rules!
Again, the survey is here: 1950s survey – top 64
****PLEASE NOTE: Once you start the survey, you must finish it or it will not let you complete (earlier, I mistakenly thought the free version lets you continue later). Not all pairs must be picked, however. If you have a problem with this, and did not finish, PM me and I can search for your IP address and delete your attempt so you can start again.
My YouTube Playlist covers ALL these songs but is really in order of year/rank, not paired up as these below.
