August 27, 201213 yr US: The Way We Were by Barbara Streisand UK: Tiger Feed by Mud Australia: Sorrow by David Bowie Wow, music really sucked in the mid-70s.

I bet if you sat down and people watched for a few hours you could probably pick them out. They're the ones who listen to Eric and Kathy and watch Dancing with the Stars and other awful singing/dancing contests.

US: Light My Fire: The Doors UK and Australia: All You Need is Love: The Beatles It's going to take me awhile to process this one.
August 27, 201213 yr "Jump"- Van Halen. Better than what I was expecting being born in the mid '80s, but still a pretty crappy song by an overrated band.
August 27, 201213 yr The Third Man Theme - Anton Karas I predate Rock 'n Roll. I'll tell ya one thing, looking over some of the songs on this list. A lot of really crappy songs somehow get to #1. Edited August 27, 201213 yr by BigEdWalsh

August 28, 201213 yr I've done this before, and IIRC, mine is something by New Kids on the Block..... .....checking....checking..... Yep. Step By Step by News Kids on the Block. When I turned 18....it was "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne.....ugh. When I turned 21....it was "Rollin in the Deep" by Adele....I'm fine with that.
