\u00a0Good. \u00a0I chose the years 1965 through 1975 &#8211; eleven years during which I aged from 11 years old to nineteen years old because I thought it was unlikely my musical tastes formed before age 11 or after 19, and I believed there was a high likelihood that my Peak Music Year would be somewhere in that range. \u00a0I then decided the measure of popular music would be the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_Hot_100\" target=\"_blank\">BillBoard Magazine Hot 100 Music Charts<\/a> for those years. \u00a0I would examine the charts, determine an annual &#8220;winner&#8221; based on something like how many #1 songs an artist or group had that year, or the artist or group with the song that spent the longest stretch at #1. \u00a0Completely subjective but I am attempting to determine how I formed my taste in music, a completely subjective subject.<\/p>\n<p>If you like to waste time on the internet like I do, waste a few minutes reviewing the first ten years&#8217; analysis:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1801\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1965 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1826\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1966 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1841\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1967 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1850\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1968 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1884\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1969 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1914\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1970 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1927\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1971 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1940\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1972 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1953\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1973 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/?p=1977\" target=\"_blank\">Music Friday &#8211; 1974 BillBoard Hot 100 Edition<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now you know what&#8217;s happening here and I&#8217;m sure you can&#8217;t wait to see how this all turns out. \u00a0I know I can&#8217;t. \u00a0So here we go with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.billboard.com\/archive\/charts\/1975\/hot-100\" target=\"_blank\">1975 BillBoard Hot 100.<\/a>\u00a0 Crap&#8230;.gotta go to work so I&#8217;ll finish this tonight. \u00a0See you in approximately 12 hours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet Here we are at the end of my project to determine my &#8220;Peak Music Year&#8221;. \u00a0If you are just joining us, let me provide some background: this all started back in October when, inspired by a post I read at the estimable Althouse blog,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life","category-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1984"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1988,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions\/1988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ego-vero.net\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
