    Another great year, for me: 1972!
    Bunch of these tunes picked in this episode, I have in classic forms of 45s, LPs, and, cassettes.
    Almost all of these tunes bring to me constant memories of the gal I dated in '72 - J.E.L. She was fabulous!
    Some of these "selected choices" from our narrator were, to me, on my large list of my 1973 favorites.
    My "All-time Favorite" of 1972: "Rocket Man" by Elton John (MCA Records) though there are a few other not mentioned hit tunes that are among my favorites of that year due to that "gal I left behind"... (actually, she left me, behind) - J.E.L.

    1972. And there I was… in VietNam. I grew up then. That’s where I became a man. I’ll remember that year forever.

      Thank you for your service. I am also a Vietnam Veteran, U.S. Navy aboard USS Joseph Strauss DDG-16 during deployments in 1970 and 1972. Transferred to USS John S. McCain DDG-36 for the last 3 months of McCain's 1972 deployment. To you and I and a million other Vietnam Veterans, these are some of the songs we listened to in Vietnam.

    I didn't notice any resemblance, at the time, of Horse With no Name to Heart of Gold. Listening to them close together, there are a couple of vocal and instrumental similarities, but I think the vocal part is coincidental, similar voices, and there are always some instrumental similarities. Besides, America had many hits that sounded nothing like Neal Young's or anybody else's music.

    I recall fondly 1972's music. And this review too often lands as inauthentic-because the narration does not know or pronounce correctly at least one song lyric, one song title, and one artist's name each. Tough to follow with such foundational errors.
