Three of your Favorite songs from the year you graduated H.S.

[KMP23]

For 1976 you could include 1/2 of Frampton Comes Alive. Since that has been mentions how about:

• Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
• Slow Ride - Foghat
• Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker) - Parliament

As I recall 1976 included a lot of just ok stuff and the start of disco.

This will be a second bump by me. I did it once before after the thread was a tad over a year old. It sense that the songs contained here might make for an enjoyable second look.   I just went back over it myself with headphones on and it was a blast. I bet there are a few WRX'rs that missed it the first time and will now want to contribute to it. This thread early on was popular by a good many of us.  I went through it just now and edited out some of the many cheesy comments that I originally posted.  Looking back on this thread today I found that it was apparent that I was spewing lots of crap late at night around this place under the influence of the wine and the weed.  😅

 

I've plugged the jukebox back in for a second time fellas so have at it.

[Bob Cat]

I'm going with 3 songs this time that recall specific memories of that time:

 

Hey Nineteen by Steely Dan (snow skiing with my fam in MI)

Winning by Santana (concert with a descendent of Cole Porter)

Urgent by Foreigner (off to tech school... and the ensuing great times)

[Fellaheen51]

Definitely a year of musical transition.  From H.S. to what I started listening to in the college dorm.  And difficult to distill down to three.  However:

 

I Heard It Through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye

How Many More Times - Led Zeppelin.  Whoa.

Kick Out the Jams - MC5.

.

.

.

Just because.  Tommy - The Who.  The Acid Queen.

This one adorned my bedroom in HS (late 70's)...

 

 

 

Her rendition of Desperado still one of the best of all time.

1977

Steve Miller 

Fly like an eagle

Fleetwood Mac 

The whole Rumors album

Rod Steward

Reason to believe

 

But I was actually a Dead Head at heart during 74-77 (27 live shows) so a whole other mix of music.

But we were pretty open to all music (and just about everything else in the late 70's)

Anything Eagles

New Riders of the Purple Sage

My older sister forced me to go to an Alice Cooper concert and it was mind blowing.

Saw BB King about 10 times play live, Bo Diddly a few times and Santana was the 1st live show while experiencing psychedelics (the one and only time) now that was crazy. 

 

Ah life before responsibility and AIDS "sex, drugs and rock and roll"

Thank you to all that chimed in today. It was nice to see some new participation.

 

Me 1979.   The last of the 70's baby.
