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!
  • Soundtrack albums The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was the best-selling soundtrack album of all time, and the Grease soundtrack sold 38 million copies.
  • Singles The UK saw a record number of singles sold, with disco and punk rock leading the way. Boney M.'s "Rivers of Babylon"/"Brown Girl in the Ring" was the best-selling single of the year.
  • Albums The Rolling Stones' Some Girls was a return to peak form, and Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town was a classic. Elvis Costello's This Year's Model was named the album of the year by The Village Voice.
  • Artists Kate Bush became the first female solo artist to have a number one hit in the UK with her self-written song "Wuthering Heights". Yellow Magic Orchestra's self-titled debut was a visionary work that influenced hip-hop, post-punk, and New Wave.
  • Events The Sex Pistols played their final show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. The Who's drummer Keith Moon died of a prescription drug overdose. The Grateful Dead performed three shows in Giza, Egypt.
  • Other news The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) officially sanctioned platinum records.
And John Travolta & Olivia Newton John Reached number 1 on the billboard 100 in June with this song... https://youtu.be/itRFjzQICJU?si=10r4eqLSixHqjhU-

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