Hello Stackers!

It's Thursday so that means it's Throwback Thursday Time!

Throwback Thursday is changing, (or rather, I'm trialling something out).

I'm going to give you a bunch of clues and I want you to guess the year and comment a song from that year. Highest ranked correct answer (by "top") gets the bounty. Entries close prior to "Feel Good Friday" Post.

🚨A guess without a correct song doesn't win, both your guess and the song must be from the correct year.🚨

Here we go!

Very cheeky submission. The original done by spooky tooth was 1969, but this one by Judas priest, this one fits the bill πŸ˜‰ great work.

Maybe I should have called it my 'lacking' class πŸ˜‚

I'll try to remember for a 69 throwback to give Spooky Tooth the credit.

Might add to my calendar to remind me to throw a 1969 out there and see if you do bring spooky tooth.
