Some say the answer to the question is simple: it was your senior year in High School.<\/p>\n

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

Some say the answer is based simply on the significant music released. And on that basis, 1965 is your year<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cIn The Midnight Hour”,\u00a0 \u201cSatisfaction”,\u00a0 \u201cLike a Rolling Stone”, “My Girl”, “Wooly Bully”, and a couple of albums by The Beatles<\/strong><\/a>, Help<\/em> and Revolver<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But for the sake of discussion, try 1957 on for size<\/strong><\/a>. “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<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/p>\n

And there’s one more. One of the singularly iconic songs<\/strong><\/a> 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!<\/p>\n

You just knew Elvis was in here somewhere!<\/p>\n
