Best music of your senior year

[BDBoop]

Can you remember that far back?

My senior year was '75-76, so I would just pick any music within that two-year time period. Doesn't have to be "after September, before June." Just one of those years.

And of course I did basic training that summer/fall, and remember dancing to this like it was yesterday. Can even picture the dance floor of the bar I was in.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young....Woodstock.

Never much cared for Linda Rhonstadt.

My favorite song by them, not sure of the year oh! Looks like 1970.

Released in '77, it caused reflection on my part. This was my theme song, my defining ode.

Throughout high school and college, I was notorious for running out of gas and getting stranded.

[BDBoop]

You graduated in '70, so it would be '69 and '70? You have some awesome options!

I didn't get my driver's license until I was 25 (almost apropos of nothing.)

 

[BDBoop]

During what I referred to ever after as "the lost years" (thank you, alcomohol) of 1976-1980, this song always resonated with me.

If I happened to drop in from outer space and have a look at the Billboard Top 100 Songs for 1969 and 1970, I'd come to the conclusion that Bayoubill's senior year must have really sucked in terms of music...

but I know better...
