prepositions: [songs from/of]
Posted: February 22nd, 2025, 2:25 am
I have made up the sentences below.
(1a) My dad is a band member. He likes to play songs from the 1980s.
(1b) My dad is a band member. He likes to play songs of the 1980s.
(2a) My uncle loves songs from 1963.
(2b) My uncle loves songs of 1963.
Most of my non-native friends think "from" works for both pairs of sentences. My other friends think "of" sounds more natural.
What is your opinion? Thanks.
