This Throwback Thursday is a fun dive into the 1980’s!
We pulled out all the yearbooks and our excel spreadsheets and explored the wild world of senior quotes. We wanted to know what author, or musician, or classmate, our seniors in the 80’s quoted the most!
Here are the results:
From 1980-1989, the band/author/etc quoted the most was Pink Floyd!
Over 6% of seniors, used lyrics from the band, with the Grateful Dead coming in close at 5.23%!
Other honorable mentions include Billy Joel, Dan Fogelberg, and Bob Dylan. Not all the quotes were the same though, that was just the band/author. That’s its own category!
The song quoted the most from 1980-1989, was Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young! The song was quoted 4x! That may not seem like a lot but no other band/author reached 3x!
There were a few ties for second, including but not limited to, Robert Frost, Patti Smith, and Jackson Browne.
We already started digging into the 90s!
