Hello Stackers!
It's Thursday so that means it's Throwback Thursday Time!
Throwback Thursday is changing, (or rather, I'm trialling something out).
I'm going to give you a bunch of clues and I want you to guess the year and comment a song from that year. Highest ranked correct answer (by "top") gets the bounty. Entries close prior to "Feel Good Friday" Post.
🚨A guess without a correct song doesn't win, both your guess and the song must be from the correct year.🚨
Here we go!
- Elvis Presley died at age 42.
- Marc Bolan of T. Rex died in a car crash in the UK.
- Ronnie Van Zandt and two other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a plane crash.
- David Bowie and Bing Crosby performed a duet on an American TV Christmas special.
- Elvis Costello made his American television debut on Saturday Night Live.
And this iconic album was released featuring this song.

Great tune that later helped bring rock and hip hop together for the first time.

Eagles - Hotel California 1977
view on www.youtube.comHard to beat this one. Classic.
Curveball hotel California was December 8th 1976 according to the Google.
It's fine! Enjoy the music. I thought it was released in 1977 😆
How can you not enjoy HC. Such an amazing song, that guitar solo is phenomenal and the harmonisation in it is just 🤌🤌. Thanks for playing, better luck next week 💪
I really enjoy it that's why I shared it! You know what’s even more exciting than the bounty? The amazing gems people share here! I’ve discovered so many great songs
Thanks!
Agreed 1k sats is a little whatever. (But I'm not made of money 🤣🤣) It's about having a little fun and finding some cool stuff.
Exactly!
1977, and I almost went with "Hotel California," but turns out it actually was released at the end of the previous year.
So let's go with the other huge hit from that year with staying power.

It's such a cheeky one as Hotel California was 1976 as a single but the album was 77. Just like rumours ;) it's why I picked it, hoping to throw a curveball out a little.
Id have accepted HC as an answer though I think, as it is 77 for the album
Edit.
I stand corrected, Google tells me HC album was 8 December 1976 😱😱
Queen - We Are The Champions
view on www.youtube.comThis was my other choice. Great song.
RIP 🫡 amazing talent.
Icon. 🫡RIP.
Eric Clapton - Cocaine
view on www.youtube.comAwesome choice. Clapton's such an incredible musician.
1977,
view on www.youtube.comis it THIS TOP song?
Such an incredible track. Great choice. That whole album is a masterpiece.

At 2 p.m. on August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley, just 42, had been dead for several hours. His body was lying on the bathroom floor. His head was resting in a pool of vomit. He was wearing gold pajama pants rolled up at the ankles and was lying on a book, which some claimed was the Holy Shroud and others, an illustrated book on sexual positions according to the zodiac sign.
