Readers recommend playlist: songs about old and new

Reflecting changes at this time of year, our latest reader-curated playlist includes tunes from the Beatles, the Buggles and Bing Crosby

Here is this week’s playlist – songs picked by a reader from your suggestions on last week’s callout. Thanks for taking part. Read more about how our weekly series works at the end of the piece.

First of all, let me wish you all a Happy new year! This week’s topic was supposed to reflect the change from old to new, but much of the material nominated was more about change in general, so this week for the A-list I stuck to tracks that matched what I had in mind when setting the challenge. However, the B-list, which will be posted in the comments, is compiled from all of the nominations, so I hope you will enjoy that too.
