Instead of continuing to search until my fingers bleed, I've decided to create my own. What follows is Part I, songs from 1970-1973. Simply guess the song that the lyric comes from and the artist or band that sings it...ain't so hard. Some will be easy, but some will test your mental musical library, hopefully until it drives you mad!! There will be a link at the end of the quiz to the answer page, but try to hold out as long as you can...that's what makes it fun, and maddening!
