Wftatfs Ftoty what' not HORIZONE look into clothes, movies, music, TV 0RIZON's reporter inter- viewed dozens of RHSers to End common trends and in- terests in fashion, music, televison and movies. What she discovered, however, is that Randallstown 's stu- dents have diverse opinions, tastes, likes and dislikes. Read on and End out whats popular at RHS. Contrary to popular belief, disco is not dead at Randallstown. Without a doubt, it's not as popular as it used to be. But according to several RHS students, it has retained some of its appeal. But what is replacing disco? Sen- ior Danny Bronstein suggests mel- low rock by Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg and James Taylor. Top 40 music and New Wave are popular. Those who enjoy top 40 name Styx as their favorite group. Several fans enjoyed their Capitol Centre concert in April. Juniors Darryl Elksnis, Jay Schlosberg and Mark Asch, however, firmly agree that Grateful Dead mu- sic is best. They and other dead- heads feel that the Dead's blend of country music, mellow rock and rock is the only music one should listen to. Deadheads express their devo- tion by traveling several times a year to see the Grateful Dead in concert. The most popular mellow rock al- bums include Jackson Browne's Running on Empty and The Pre- tender. REO Speedwagon's new re- lease, Hi Infidelity is also a fa- vorite. Grateful Dead groupies have a difficult time choosing a common fa- vorite, Mark Asch states, I like all the Dead. Top 40 listeners turn to B-104 CWBSBJ and WPGC in Washington D.C. Q-107 QWRQXJ plays rock and top 40. And 98 Rock QWIYYJ is the most popular radio station ac- cording to a Rams Horn poll. Other unusual favorites include WHFS in Bethesda, which plays avantgarde rock, and KSAN in California. Students' movie preferences are also diverse. Junior Julie Weiner Trendsl29
