Michele over at A Small Victory has posted her iPod (if such a thing had existed) playlist from the year she graduated from high school (1980). I thought that sounded interesting (she's got some great songs on there) so I'm playing along. So here (basically in order of preference) is my virtual iPod playlist from my last year of high school, 1978 (Hey, quit laughing!! I am NOT old! Ok, maybe a little bit.)
• I Go Crazy - Paul Davis – Still one of my favorite songs ever)
• Magnet and Steel - Walter Egan
• Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty (I thought that Gerry Rafferty was going to be a super-superstar. What happened?)
• Deacon Blues - Steely Dan
• Because the Night - Patti Smith Group
• Follow You Follow Me - Genesis
• Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf
• Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees
• Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
• Dust in the Wind – Kansas (I was CRAZY for this group!)

Posted by: kenju at April 30, 2005 11:32 PMI always wondered about Gerry Rafferty too. Loved his music.
Posted by: Nanc' at May 1, 2005 03:23 PMStarting down your list I could hear the words or melody of almost all of them. In the back of my poor little brain a small voice shouted, " Oh man I loved that one ", over and over again. Thanks for the stimulation!!!!
Posted by: momma at May 7, 2005 12:50 PMI'm surprised there was no Roxy Music on the list. Maybe it's time to catch up.
