music 13 Kock Comes Zhrough Again STREISAND. Barbara Streisand, the female voice of the century, is pictured on her latest album. America's favorite pastime has gone through one change after another. Component hi fidelity stereo equipment advanced mu- sic to such a degree that home recordings were as common as store bought tapes. The prices for albums were from $7.99 to 12.99, cassette tapes cost $7.99. As disco and pop music went out with other fads of the past decade, rock music came through again as America's fa- vorite sound. The Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, the Eagles, Willie Nelson, and Lynrd Skynrd featured rock music with Southern flair. Across the nation other popu- lar groups such as Blondie, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zepplin, Billy Joel, and the Doo- bie Brothers made the charts with a touch of hard rock along with great rhythm. America saw a tragedy to the music industry when ex-Beatle John Lennon was killed at the age of 40. Tributes to the fabu- lous song writer-composer spread across the country with the intensity as strong as the re- action to the death of John Ken- nedy. The top ten songs as of Janu- ary 1981 were: Celebration, The Tide is High, 9 to 5, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Hearbreak Hotel, Same Old Lang Syne, 8th Wonder, Another One Bites the Dust, Starting Over, I Ain't Gonna Stand for It.
