They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I mean, I know many of those songs, just curious what is important about July 15, 1972?  This isn't a "decade" anniversary of 1972 or anything.  Why not 1973, since this would be the 50th anniversary?

I'll guess that's 1983?  I know and can sing at least part of every single song on that list.

The #1 song Every Breath You Take is absolutely a classic.  My kids and all their friends know it well, 40 years later.

1999 is pretty classic and I'd call it great.  Unique and ahead of its time like much of Prince's early stuff.

Most of the rest is just pop, but same goes for your 1972 list.  The only song on that 1972 list that I actually like, is Rocket Man. Lean on Me is a classic but I think it mostly sucks, if only because it's been so overplayed over the decades.

Oh and I personally like Don't Let It End but I'm a super-weird Styx fanboi, even the later stuff like that song.  I don't expect anyone else to like it that's for sure.

I'm certainly a Styx fan

but the early stuff
I'd say I like their "mid" stuff.

Their early stuff was nothing more than the drugged out ramblings of some total burnouts.  A glimpse here and there of something special, but mostly rubbish about getting high and hooking up with underaged girls.  

Mid stuff was great.

And then Paradise Theater and Kilroy Was Here which I really liked, but I can understand those who don't.
