Soooo... this guy in the 60's rock community posted the music from the year HE graduated, which is 1968 (he's older than my parents! Agh!), and, a) because I am obsessive, and b) just to prove to you that it isn't the time period that matters, it is the goodness of the songs (see, it isn't about liking or not liking old stuff!) I am going to RATE THIS YEAR, TOO! Hey, I should do '69 too as the year my parents graduated. Maybe after I go to the grocery store (I volunteered to work this afternoon, so i'm more pressed for time than I usually am on Wednesdays)
