Pluto, the reason I put a limit of 4 on this is so that others could have a chance to answer too! A number of these were wrong or already answered. I gave you credit for 4 of them (the limit) and am giving lebeiw credit for #15 and #20.

Hi lebeiw. Sorry that Pluto jumped in there like that. I gave him credit for the first 4 he got right, which means that you will still get credit for these two. :)

Hi Kenny. Both are correct, but I'm afraid that hannahbear had already answered #19. I forgot that one when I was updating. Sorry. :-/

Well, I know I got the Dreamweaver LP for Christmas of '75 so I guess the song became a hit in 1976 then. I always think of it as 1975 - WMMS in Cleveland always had the songs before the rest of the country....
