Did you make a backup before changing the hard drive? They should be in the old Home folder / Music / iTunes folder.

i did not make a B/U, my goof..could the iTunes list be on iCloud?
The playlists are in the iTunes library in a .itl file. It's unlikely they will be in iCloud. If you have access to your old hard disk, you could put it in an enclosure and try to copy the iTunes folder from it. Or it may be possible to recover the library from an iOS device.
