My score was 76/100. It could be more, but I don‘t have the patience today to research the unfamiliar titles that I may in fact know.

Here‘s the link if you want to play. https://bit.ly/4cnbsxM

1. Fire & Rain. Just as I‘m contractually obligated to like a song that has my name as the title, likewise with a song that has my name in the lyrics.
2. Don‘t Stop Believin‘. How could I not include this song?
3. He stopped Loving Her Today ⬇️

Susanita Even if you HATE country music, you have to admit this is a helluva song. 3mo
Susanita So many good songs left by the wayside. Honorable mention to Born to Run, London Calling, Heart of Glass, Super Freak, and more! 3mo
dabbe We're finally at the really good ones, aren't we? I had a heckuva time choosing just three myself! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

big thumbs up for me 👍focuses specifically on 4 groups/musicians in the context of the year 1970 and how music (and the world) was changing from the 60s to the 70s. lots of interesting details that i didn't know about some of my favorite music. #LitsyReadingChallenge #LCR12
