I would have preferred to be under 50%
Mostly good music, so tough choices. Played it two ways: What would 13-year-old Tony listen to? and What would 55-year-old Tony listen to? Still tough.
Dang it, Prince beats Rupert Holmes and Styx by a million miles.Come on!

1979 was also my first concert. I saw KISS at The Montreal Forum (New England was the opening act). Tickets and T-shirts were $10.00 each. When I saw Judas Priest and Deep Purple (and some other band that I skipped. I still don't know who they were) 3 years ago the Ticket cost closer to $120. and T-shirts were $50.00 each.

57% similar is more than I expected it to be. I have somewhat of an offbeat taste in music and don't usually go for the most popular stuff. Back then, I was usually listening to country. Since I was a teenager, NOBODY else my age was listening to it with me.

I was a keyboard player in a cover band back in those days so I pretty much picked the songs we did. 82% What fun that was!
I think what would be a more telling quiz is to ask what song you listened to more THEN and which one of the same group you would listen to NOW.
I cringe at the 45s of still have of some of these "hits."

Not me. I still love the songs now that I loved then. Heck; my all-time favorite song has been my all-time favorite song since I was about 2 years old, and STILL is! (To Sir, With Love by Lulu). I just enjoy finding new songs, too.
I would have gotten a higher number if I had put down Fleetwood Mac but I couldn't stand them.
Tusk was not one of my faves either.
Not their best album, but FM is my all-time favorite band (and I'm talking ALL versions, going back to Peter Green), so I picked "Tusk" by default.
1979 was still a good year for music...of all genres. This was before MTV and rap/hip-hop came in and flushed the music scene down the toilet which is where it still is today!!
You got that right

88%, mostly by voting against the type of songs people think of when they trash the late '70's. I still like Dire Straits' 1st album over the rest of their long run and anything Eagles. I didn't appreciate "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" (and didn't vote for it here) until it was used for a Seinfeld montage! ;)
Oh yeah! Class of '79....best days, best songs, best all around! Wouldn't trade those days for anything! Go 1970's!
I got 56%. Obviously I was more into R&B and not so much into Rock. Don´t recall hearing those songs by Styx, Supertramp, Dire Straits, Cheap Trick, etc, as much as I heard songs by Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, etc.
