A list of the songs covered by Andrew Hickey's A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast. Some recording dates are wild approximations (using a misleadingly precise date to ensure the table sorts properly). Due to my personal interest in the history of Jews in Black popular music, I've also highlighted songs credited to Jewish writers (in dark blue) or co-writers (in light blue).
