I come from class of ‘75 ... put in DJ’s CONTRACT... Any music played from 1975, Class would have no way of Guaranteeing DJ’s Health.

Luckily between Alcohol and the Pharmaceuticals available at the time... most of the musical(/sarc) names mentioned are either Blurs with a couple of them being minor nightmares.

Me too! '75 had some good and bad music, but mostly good. But the music of the Late 70's absolutely sucked. LOL

LOL! That was my year too. There was some good music but most of it didn’t make the top 40. I was listening to The Runaways and AC/DC from a friend who had just came back from serving in Germany.

Southern Rock ruled 1978...at least in my world! lol Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, Allman Bros, ZZ Top. And then there's the psychedelic rock of Zepplin, Floyd etc.

I graduated in 1979 and threatened a walk out if the administration didn't let us have Freebird as our class song instead of some lame song..either John Denver or Barry Manilow, I forget.

That’s why I graduated in ‘76. It was a much better year musically. And it was the Bicentennial. :^)

Sorry about those ‘78 songs, bud. IMHO the music scene definitely started downhill from about ‘75.

Did a google on the top ten songs of my graduation year, ‘72...

Superstition Stevie Wonder
2. Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone The Temptations
3. Smoke on the Water Deep Purple
4. Lean on Me Bill Withers
5. Heart of Gold Neil Young
6. Walk on the Wild Side Lou Reed
7. You Are the Sunshine of My Life Stevie Wonder
8. If You Don’t Know Me by Now Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes
9. I’ll Take You There The Staple Singers
10. Tumbling Dice The Rolling Stones

BPE

Darkness on the Edge of Town and the corresponding tour, by Bruce Springsteen, back before he drank the leftist Koolaid and became irrelevant.

I have NEVER been to any of my class reunion events. I graduated in 1970; was Student Body Pres.; Senior Class Pres. and etc. When I graduated I essentially said goodbye and moved-on. I don’t regret it. There were new horizons east of the Sierra Nevada. Oye como va. Santana. Thumping on the stereo while we cruised the main in Pittsburg gettin’ drunk and stupid.
