Because mainstream popular music's repertory in America equals that of classical music,
it is probably important to cover all of the important pop/rock hits for two semesters,
not just one.
The weeks cover some of the main songs that everyone grew up in the 1970s or 1980s.
Under the weeks covered are the song titles first, then the original artist or artists
(indicated in the parenteses), and then the date the song was released.
