    i remember in 1977/78/79, all the neighborhood teenagers wanted one of those Trans Ams, just like the one in Smokey & the Bandit. i know the words to lots of Lynyrd Skynyrd songs just because that's what was usually playing on my older sister's stereo. Smoke on the Water was a big hit back then too, although it might have been from 1978 or 1979.

    however, you missed one big one from 1977...
