| Songs From 1975 |
I stole this from Lime who stole it from Suldog. They both seemed to think their year was rather dark. Well I happened to like my year but what I found out when I went back, I liked more songs after 1975 and before 1975 than songs that actually were from 1975. Oh and I found out I suck at this list as I do not want to say I disliked any of them. OK, here we go.
The rules:
A) Go to Music Outfitters.
B) In the search function, enter the year you graduated from high school. Get the list of the 100 most popular songs of that year.
C) Bold the songs you like, strike through the ones you hate, and underline or italicize your favorite.
D) Do nothing to those you don’t remember or don’t care about.
Lime followed the lead of Suldog and decided to break the songs down into lists. I thought it sounded like a splendid idea.
Songs I love: These are the songs I really like. When I hear them I crack up the radio and sing to most of them if I am alone or lip sync if I am not. It is not out of the question to car dance either.

What a cool meme.
I may have to work on this.
KJ, this would be a perfect one for you with how much you love your music.
That's an excellent list, Bryan. I can identify with your feelings about most of the songs.
holy cow, i don't think i realized paul anka was still cranking out the um...er....hits in 1975. my mother loved him....me, i'll pass.
thanks for playing along.
That looks entertaining. I may have to think about doing that.
Hey Barman
There is a song from 1975/76 that played on top 40 AM radio for a very short while. The only thing I remember is the line" In California the streets are paved of gold". Are you the guy after all these years that could find that song for me?
Just thought I'd ask.

Hey Kelly, I hope you come back to see this since you do not seem to have a blog I can answer you on.
I did not know the song but here is what I found. I hope it is what you were looking for. The link takes you to the lyrics and some information about an album the sond is on.
Good luck...

Oh and Kelly, I do not know if you are new to blogging or just starting over again but either way ... welcome on board! Have fun wandering around. There are a lot of interesting people out there to find.
