Holy Godiva and I picked five songs each that reached the UK Top Ten for each year in the... ummm... tenties? ...and this is what we ended up with. We didn't originally plan to go beyond the eighties, but were challenged to dig a little deeper beyond our 'comfy socks'. This is the one that we said we DEFINITELY wouldn't do because we wouldn't have a clue, but I suggested we try, and we've managed to avoid most of the rappers and most of the many tracks where good vocals are ruined by ridiculous beats and come up with a list. We're sure many will scoff at our choices, but very little is aimed at us in the charts of the 2010s, but we gave it a go... can we put our comfy socks back on now please?

Given that a Yeti used copy and paste from other entries before editing them, there might be errors in some of the information here, if you spot something, let me know and I'll get my golf club back out to smash randomly against the keyboard.
