Wow, I actually know a majority of those songs and really like them. Does that make me old...like you? [[snort]]
I do take one exception to your list - I love Chicago's "Saturday in the Park," It probably has to do with a memory association, but nonetheless, it remains to this day as one of my favorite Chicago songs.
Great list, Vin - as usual.
Oh, I forgot to say - nice to see you on the weekend!
class of 72, in 72 I was home from Vietnam and on my way to Korea. I do know some of your songs: 2,10,13,14,16,22,23,27,29,37,39 yuk, 40 woo woo,54,65,77,78,
OMG the memories! Awesome list, & way too many to comment on. But Ben was one of the first songs I learned to play on the piano...I think I still have that Jackson 5 album - hee.
SONGBIRD: I am well-seasoned.. not old... Must be memory association because I hear that song and I wonder how a band that did 25 or 6 to 4 could have come up with dreck like SITP - different strokes...
SARGE: See, now you know how I feel when I read that Sanni turned 18 in 1992! LOL
TUG: Maybe it is the association with the movie.. but that song just makes me shiver with yukkiness...
It's interesting when you pull lists of music from an entire year. You really get a taste for how diverse music can be.
I was 8 in 1972 - it was a good year.
OH - forgot to say that my restaurant meme is up.
Bwahahahaha "My Ding-a-ling" Woo!!! Now did anyone out there that maybe Vinny WOULDN'T like that song?
Tupelo Honey is such a gorgeous song...dang where is my Van the Man cd?
Cool meme!
hi bond. i am not as old as sarge. ha ha ha, i like most of the same ones as you, most, not all, ha ha
smiles, bee
I was going to do this meme, until I checked out the music for the year I turned 18 (1998)...it was HORRIBLE music. Out of the top 20, I only like 3 of them. No wonder I only listened to older stuff then.
hey great, now I know the top 100 songs of the year I was born, thanks bond!
TRAVIS: That is why I could not list 4 or 5 .. there was just too many interesting titles...Loved the restaurant meme
JULIE: Ummm real funny missy!
STARRLIGHT: A classic for sure
BEE: Tosses cake at Bee... enjoy
TWYLA: LOLOLOLOL will have to go look and see what 1998 brought to the table
SPARKY: OK mister, you better watch it LOL (ppppssssssttt there are only 80 songs there) LOL
Lordie, Vin, TWO Van songs in one year??? I die of envy. I'm taking this challenge, too, because I still can't get the music up on the guitar solo meme ... got my picks, though. I just don't want to post it without the music. The music is KEY to my answer.
Terrific job & I agree on most of you ratings of the songs.
I still love "School´s Out", "Nights In White Satin", "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" and "Rocket Man"... although I was still "elsewhere" in 1972... but I was planned already *LOL*
