there's maybe 5 i like(d). most i hated or am apathetic about. by the late 80s, i was a classic-rock junkie 'cause pop music sucked so much. If i did 1984, things would be different.

I don't even know 90% of the songs from my graduation year. Entering years in the 80's gets a lot more thoughts of, "oh, yeah, that one's good" from me. I guess that's what comes with having an older sister...

*laugh* I'm sorry if I find it somewhat funny that half of your strikethroughs I actually liked (or liked at the time, some I'm just sick of now), and half of your bolded ones I don't even remember... :)
