8 of 10, because I wasn't really into the "disco sound" back then. I missed 5 and 9.

9/10. Missed #2; I thought it was Springsteen but then it came to me too late that it was Dylan.

I got 10/10 on Albums of 1975 because even at my age now, I still remember all of
those great albums & pop songs from back then.

5/10

I played a lot of music in the '70s, but didn't listen to a lot of Pop music. I wanted to be a jazz trombonist and could have been if it weren't for the whole medical school thing. Becoming a doctor takes up a lot of your time.

Doctors usually make a better income than the average jazz trombonist.

Not exactly average, but a couple of trombonists who made more money doing other things:

William Frakes (Cmdr Riker on Star Trek Next Generation)
Conrad Janis (Mindy's dad on Mork & Mindy)

Then, as now, it took a keen eye, and ear, to tell a Starship from an Airplane.

Gotta wonder if somewhere along the line, maybe for a very short time, Grace Slick, Marty Balin and the rest of those folks called their band "Jefferson Helicopter"? But - if I remember correctly, there might have been a band named "Helicopter" back in the 70's. Perhaps that's why they went straight to "Jefferson Starship"... and of course Zeppelin was already spoken for!

I used to joke about them before they were famous, calling themselves Jefferson Rowboat.

Missed #9. Got the others correct, yet it indicated I got 8 out of 10 correct???? Sorry, that makes 9 out of 10.

9/10; missed # 9. # 8 was sort of a trick question because those were different incarnations of the same band, but I knew which version was active in the 1970's.
