    Gee I'm going to have to do some research.

    I was born in 1958. The top ten might be 78's or even wax cylinders.
    Now I'm livin' out here on the beach,
    but those seagulls are still out of reach.

    I may of missed it but did not see Boston, Boston listed from the people born in 76'. Classic album!

    I was born in 1954. :shock:

    For my year, it was all Perry Como, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney . . . :oops: :yawn:
    The only one that looked like a possibility was a Miles Davis album. :think:
