Re: 1956
That is a rather impressive list! I certainly don't have any year lists that are that long. I probably could piece a few together with some effort for certain years in the early 80s if I kept track of every song I liked, but the lists I have rarely extend beyond 150.

Re: Classical Music
What a wonderful post! I have long liked classical music but rarely have I really dug into it. This thread seems like the perfect opportunity to do just that!
I'm not really sure that this counts, but my favorite (neo-)classical music comes in the form of George Winston's brilliant December.
