From Annie. Mostly no one will care...but I blogged about music over here so I couldn't leave well enough alone.
The rules (which I have changed due to my inability to figure out how to strikethrough on blogger):
A) Go to Music Outfitters
B) Enter the year you graduated from high school in the search function and get the list of 100 most popular songs of that year
C) Annotate your list:
Bold the songs you like, italicize your favorites. Do nothing to the ones you don’t remember (or don’t care about), and change the font color to red if you would lunge violently at the radio and break one or more fingernails trying to change the station as fast as possible.
And all I gotta say right here is that I must have been listening to some other station that year. Where is Tori Amos? Pearl Jam? Trent Reznor? Could we have a little less Richard Marx, please? But the few that I do recognize, if I've blogged about them on Most Nigh, I linked them up right here.

just think: i had the misfortune of working in a record store in 1992 ...
Gak.
I was pregnant in 1992. That must be the reason I've heard of NONE of these songs... I really did sleep through it. Yeesh.
Funny - most of those songs I never heard of.
And the year I graduated, you probably weren't born. ROFL
For strikethrough -
(strike) type whatever (/strike) but you know, use the < & > instead of the parentheses.
Thanks! I'm lousy at html...
Bohemian Rhapsody was in 1992 b/c it was featured in Wayne's World. I have a copy of I'm too sexy in Spanish courtesy of P Bu. I loved technotronic and Snap. And I loved the video for Shakespear's Sister : Stay. It was in a hospital and heartbreaking.
I remember the video now. I think it was a fave of the ex boyfriend...I'm too sexy en espanol would be fabulous.
1990 was a big New Age year for me, so I can't remember most of the songs on my list.
I can't name one song from Bel Biv Devoe, but I can name any song off of No Blue Thing or White Winds in 5 notes!
OMG. I went through the (wow is she old) list for 1969 and I did not find one Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jerry Jeff Walker, John Denver, Joni Mitchell, or Judy Collins. Was I in an alternate universe? I think I'm glad I was.
1992??? I thought you were closer to my age. You're just a KID! *lol*
