Heh .. this has been interesting .. I graduated in a small town bout 45 mins out of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul) .. and Prince WAS HUGE as he was from Minneapolis! But I was such a little headbanger / old skool funk / rappper (now there’s a contradiction of terms if I’ve EVER seen one!!) back then that I really only heard some of these songs as I was walking down the corridors in the dorms LOL – but still do like / despise / hate / love some of these songs .. mind you the research to do this has been interesting .. found just what I needed to hear quick 30sec clips at Last FM.

You know what I don’t see on this list is Cory Hart’s, I Wear Sunglasses at Night .. that was soo HUGE my graduating year .. and we would just crank that thru the dorms .. but like i said .. Megadeath, metallica, iron Maiden, Led Zepplin, Motley Crue 😀 .. those are what I mainly listened too .. yeah like any school, we had preps and burnout rockers LOLOLOL .. Oh I went to a Jethro Tull concert and Motley Crue concert my graduating year – now that was FUN!!

The rules:
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) Bold the songs you like, strike through the ones you hate and underline and/or italicize your favorite. Do nothing to the ones you don’t remember (or don’t care about)

* bold italic: turn up the volume and sing along loudly (chair dancing – not lap dancing – may be involved)
* bold: turn up the volume and sing along softly
* italic: leave the volume where it is but smile nostalgically and possibly hum
* plain: leave it be if I’m not paying attention, maybe look for something better if I am (or I don’t know the song)
* strikethrough: change the station
* red strikethrough: lunge violently at the radio and break one or more fingernails trying to change the station as fast as possible
