Wow. That takes me back ot the grade school dances I used to attend at the local Knights Council Hall. memories...like the corners of my mind...
Dude, waddaya got against Wham??
My year was not a good year in Pop. But yours? Ah! I want my MTV!
I don't think moshing was invented when I graduated from high school...
;-)
dude, i was so hoping not to be tagged because it would definitely *date* me.
*sigh* okay, tomorrow.........
oh, mark -- no way. i have my standards. there are too many songs that should be wiped off the face of the earth and only two i would actually admit liking, both by the police.
i'd like to say i've changed, but i didn't like the music then, either.
and i have to lol at amy. she is just fresh :)
Penni,
Well, at least tell us what the two songs are!
Mark
You tagged me -- here's my year:
1987
Wow - what a trip down memory lane!
I looked up my year (1984) and was amazed at how many songs I didn't care for. I was able to pick out a few favorites (The Cars, The Police, Eurythmics, Prince, etc), but a lot of what I was listening to (The Clash, early U2, David Bowie, late New-Wave) wasn't on the radio back then, at least not in rural Kansas. And it sure wasn't played at prom (which was primarily slow dance & country two-step)!
