If they listened to the chart buster, Me And You And A Dog Named Poo, I have much to worry about. That year the music chart was a little, how you say, scarry ohmy.gif

When they built my car I was thinking.... "Man I hope I get born in 4 years." w00t.gif

For my 1970 six conversion ..... Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon and Garfunkel ...... and it is!!!!

For the '74 ..... The Way We Were, Barbra Streisand (and that's really sad too!)

I dont know what they were listening to in Germany in 1974? Perhaps Autobahn by Kraftwerk? biggrin.gif Were German factories in the 1970's progressive enough to let workers play music on the production lines?

My 914 was made in January 1970.

I bought it in July 1975. I also bought a then-current Joan Baez album w/the title song...........Diamonds and Rust Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.(Sorry Bob Seeger).

It's a fairly thin, round black thingy, looking like a Ritz cracker with a tumor, with lots of scratches in it. It was spun at varying speeds, with a thin metallic stylus thingy capturing the scatches to make sounds so that us "heads" smoke.gif could vary the speed and find the true meaning of life.

And, so....what is the true meaning of life?

"....life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?" Procol Harem, from the Shine on Brightly
album

Not sure about the DAY they made it, but I was still listening to Iron Butterfly, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Stones, & Hendrix as retro stuff. Daily stuff was Mott the Hoople, Clapton, T Rex, Arlo Guthrie, The Band, Bread, Elton Jogn, CS &N, Doobie Brothers, Cat Stevens (yeah!) & Moody Blues.

Avoided anything connected with the Beetles, because they sucked for the most part, though Lennon & harrison were good alone. McCartney always sucked. Ringo......always felt sorry for him.

Tried to remember what I was listening to on the evening in August '72 when I brought the 914 home. Then realized - I didn't have a radio!

For my car (1976), I think the playlist musta been something like :

"Fly LIke an Eagle"

"Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing"

"Slow Ride"

"Good Vibrations"

"Shake Your Booty"

"Don't Go Breakin' My Heart"
