Runner daughter informs me that she's a big Weezer fan, so I guess that means I'll have to move on now. (btw, she preferred "Feels like Summer")

Some of the others I considered from 2017 (in no order):

I'm just impressed that I'm "relevant" enough to know more than one song that came out this year.

I got back into listening to 78s over 15 years ago when listening to Radio Dismuke on Live365. It's not something I can to for long periods of time, but it is a neat change of pace for my listening.

I remember my father had a small collection of 78s -- a few of them were comedies, including I think Cohen on the Telephone.

Do you have any experience with listening to 78s? Whether you have or not, post up your ten here...
