June 4th 1974, "10 Cent Beer Night" in Cleveland. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

- I was actually able
to find all of these songs on Spotify. And added to a playlist. Right now it includes through September
1974, and 164 of the 175 songs which entered the Top 40 in the 1st 9 months of
1974. I'm pretty impressed that they have over 92% of these
songs...
