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

[touch]

With the popularity of the 60's, 70's , and 80's songs threads ( here on the 19th hole) I got to thinking why not try this.

Post three of your favorite songs from the year you graduated High School.

So many of us have some extra idle time these days and might want to participate in this. I expect we have a vast range of ages here on the greatest golf forum available, and the songs picks will definitely show this!

So first throw up the year you graduated and then your song selections. Let's have a little fun.

I'll hit first.

I graduated HS in 1983. My three favorite songs then were (not in any particular order):

Back on the Chain Gang - The Pretenders

Steppin' Out - Joe Jackson

Faithfully - Journey

Is it three favorite songs at the time, or released that year?

[Qqq123xx]

Well took me awhile to post this stuff, hence the three posts instead of one. And could only link text not actual video. Had problems like this before guess I will never learn.

It's released that year. The year you graduated.

https://youtu.be/cqZc7ZQURMsGreat idea touch...I graduated in ‘77, so I played little loose with the rules. Senior year was ‘76-‘77, and I believe these fell within that’s time frame.

bravo to the Ozark Mt. Daredevils and Jackie Blue. That song was enormous in St. Louis during my H.S. days.

stryper those selections were excellent. Couldn't " Year of the Cat " could be certainly considered for top 10 songs of the entire decade? I'd vote it there.

Thanks for the contribution sir.

I love that song!!!

[RobotDoctor]

Quite right!!! I was hurrying to get stuff packed for a short business trip to the PNW (Pacific NorthWest) to a customer to fix their robot issue. Thanks for the link. I have tickets to see Journey with The Pretenders opening in early June. Something tells me the concert will be postponed.

Treat Her Like A Lady - Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose

Signs - Five Man Electrical Band

Amos Moses - Jerry Reed

I loved pop music back then. Discovered Punk Rock later in the 80s.

1980 Too much Disco for me, but here's 3 I can think of that I liked. In no particular order

http://youtu.be/ilsv0C1-aBwthis one was on a album released in 80, but the single didn't get on the charts till 81. Hope it counts Touch.

Oh that awesome tune "Rapture"

The single worst concert I remember seeing is Blondie in 2019. And I don’t say this lightly. I left in the middle of it.

and I like Blondie.

[bortass]

The Church - Under the Milky Way

Midnight Oil - Beds are Burning

[BicknellCC]

[GHIN n Juice]

1997 -

1) Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve

2) Gone Away - Offspring

3) The Rain - Missy Elliot

1995

i was pretty heavy into rap/hip hop at the time

I Got 5 On It - Luniz One More Chance - Notorious BIGShimmy Shimmy Ya - ODBthese are just the ones that popped up in my head and I know I’m missing a bunch of good ones. Definitely have a soft spot for The Luniz song, especially the remix since it featured so many Bay Area artists

[Qqq123xx]

Well Deborah Harry is 73 after all and am sure rest of band is right around that age.
