Some say the answer to the question is simple: it was your senior year in High School.

So, for me, 1968 works pretty well. “Hey Jude”, “Love is Blue”, “People Got To Be Free”, “Dock Of The Bay”. Great tunes, great memories on instant recall.

Some say the answer is based simply on the significant music released. And on that basis, 1965 is your year.  “In The Midnight Hour”,  “Satisfaction”,  “Like a Rolling Stone”, “My Girl”, “Wooly Bully”, and a couple of albums by The Beatles, Help and Revolver.

But for the sake of discussion, try 1957 on for size. “Wake Up Little Susie”, “Come Go With Me”, “Little Darlin'”, “Party Doll”, “School Days” and “You Send Me”. On the strength of those alone, you got a new soundtrack for American Grafitti!

And there’s one more. One of the singularly iconic songs in the history of rock and roll, a monster that was Number One for 9 weeks, and was on the charts for almost a half a year!

You just knew Elvis was in here somewhere!
