2 was the Sentry; 3 was Superman. I’ve looked, and haven’t found any explicit confirmation that the first zombie was supposed to be Superman but it got changed for legal reasons, just people assuming so.

[knoodler]

I still had 2 DQs but I’m stumped.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Also stumped.

[SunUp]

Disco? Yacht rock? Soul?

I’m naming genres because I have no idea about names. Just hoping to make some kind of association.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

16 above. Pop music.

[SunUp]

Sure, but in the 70’s, they could all come under the rubric of “pop”. Heck, even punk could qualify, though I can’t think of any solo punk artists, particularly women. And there were some country artists who made the pop charts in that era as well.
