I could have kept going! So many AWESOME songs in 1988. Sigh. That was when there was good music. LOVED IT. Lots of Poison and Bon Jovi's New Jersey album released that year. Oh yeah! Further up the list Aerosmith, Robert Plant, Midnight Oil, R.E.M., Lita Ford's Kiss Me Deadly. Good stuff there. Really good stuff.

Lots of clubbin' and dancing to songs 2, 3, 18, and 20. LOL Fun times.

Okay. DH and I got married in 1988. LOL

We went to Grand Cayman a few years ago and heard Red Red Wine over and over and over. I can't stand that song anymore. LOL

I did this too, although seeing the year you all were 18 makes me feel ancient. It was alot of fun. At least in 1988 I still recognize most of the songs.

See, your list is way better than mine. I liked a lot more songs on your list than mine. That GNR album spent forever at the top of the heap. Now my kids listen to it nonstop. And jam.

And The Flame. Talk about memories. Ahhhh, my badass college days. *g*

Lori is right. Anne's list is better than ours. What was up with Madonna? And all the pop *shiver* on our lists?
