Great question Stimpee...There were songs that automatically came to mind that I recall actually listening to during that period ("Leaving Home" for example.) But in those cases where a specific song didn't come to mind, it was a choice that included present day music. This was a great idea by the way!!

when Samralh and I get married, our reception soundtrack will be exactly like this...starting from the 70's ( me )...a couple of songs for each year.
by the time it hits the 2000's, ( hopefully ) the eldest people will get sick of the tunes, and bolt, so we can all do some serious drugs.
oops.
