    Dr. Pepper What, me worry? Thread Starter

    I was over in the Dream Boat Annie thread and started thinking about this?

    Maybe:

    Heart - Dream Boat Annie
    Rush - 2112
    Steve Miller Band - Fly Like an Eagle
    David Bowie - Station to Station
    Joni Mitchell - Hejira

    Lots of greatest hits packages that year.

    What a great year. I was in middle school, (then called junior high), but I remember America's optimism and the bicentennial excitment. I wish we could go back to those times. It was a great time to be alive. What was the question again?



    Rocks.
