This was a bitch! But I like the way it came out. No song over 1:59. Many of your suggestions are here, rounded out by many of my favorites. Think it's difficult sequencing 15 songs? Try sequencing 47. I hope a few of you appreciate that part of it. A few artists are represented more than once. Oh well.
Now dig in, a little at a time.

I was hoping you would do something like this. Looks fantastic. Thanks, Sal!
This is going to be a fun listen! Appreciate the effort, Sal!
Goddamn Sal - great job!!
I've made thousands of mixes over the years - I absolutely know how much work is involved. Very impressive.
Go Myracle Brah!!!

Very fun mix! That's what I get for not visiting Burnwood every single day -- I didn't get to make suggestions. You showed great discipline by not simply tossing in six or so Costello songs from "Get Happy." For technical reasons, I duplicate your playlists on Spotify rather than downloading. Completely unnecessary but fascinating fact -- the tracks NOT on Spotify: "Star Spangled Banner" by the Posies, "Shirley" by John Fred & His Playboy Band, "Standin' On The Corner" by Dorothy Berry, "So Much Better" by the candy Butchers, "Can't Wait To Kiss You" by NRBQ (though it seems like a lot of their music is on Spotify, perhaps this is a B side or some obscurity or I just missed it). My mind immediately went to the Beach Boys and "Be Still" and then Randy Newman, who has a lot of great short songs like "Dayton, Ohio 1903" and "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" and "He Gives Us All His Love" and then jokey, Tom Lehrer-ish don't-let-Trump-listen-to-this-because-it-might-give-him-ideas "Political Science." And that's just on the album Sail Away!
Yowzers, this looks like a lotta fun! Thanks!!
Absolutely killer. If you don't like one the next will be there in a jiffy. Great for short attention spans like mine. Thanks for this EPIC Mix.
Yow! Sequencing 20-25 songs is hard enough, I'm surprised you got this one done so quickly! Thanks, it should be a great listen!
standing O!
Great idea for a comp, Sal! Looking forward to it! - Stinky
Magnificent undertaking. What a huge effort. Thanks.
Thanks Sal! Great effort, saving this one.
