This is a really cool meme I picked up from over at Busted's place... Just have to give this a whirl!

Here's what you have to do: 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 REALLY hate (Can't do this, so I've put them in italics instead). This, of course, is an American list so the songs without comment either left me indifferent or I've never heard of...

And here's the famous list of songs from 1987 (yes, yes, you read that right... I'm a dinosaur!)

1. Walk Like An Egyptian, Bangles My father really, really liked their lead singer though!
2. Alone, Heart
3. Shake You Down, Gregory Abbott
4. I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me), Whitney Houston She was a huge star in the 1980s, but I just couldn't get "into" Whitney somehow...
5. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, Starship The favourite song of a high school friend of mine who died of pneumonia at the age of 22... Always remembering you, Felicity!
6. C'est La Vie, Robbie Nevil
7. Here I Go Again, Whitesnake Horrible, just horrible
8. The Way It Is, Bruce Hornsby and the Range Beautiful melody, and I loved this guy's voice
9. Shakedown, Bob Seger
10. Livin' On A Prayer, Bon Jovi I might know all the words to many of their songs, but I never, ever liked Bon Jovi!
11. La Bamba, Los Lobos Don't think I can actually say I LOVED this song, but I have excellent memories of crazy dancing to this, so it has great connotations...
12. Everybody Have Fun Tonight, Wang Chung
13. Don't Dream It's Over, Crowded House
14. Always, Atlantic Starr
15. With Or Without You, U2 This one still gives me goosebumps even today...
16. Looking For A New Love, Jody Watley
17. Head To Toe, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam
18. I Think We're Alone Now, Tiffany One of the ultimate braindead bimbo songs of all time
19. Mony Mony, Billy Idol He may have been a fake "hard man", but God, was he sexy to me when I was 18 (and living in a terrifyingly middle class, conservative part of southern England)
20. At This Moment, Billy Vera and The Beaters
21. Lady In Red, Chris De Burgh One of the most vomit-inducing songs I can think of, ever

23. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, U2 See #15
24. I Want Your Sex, George Michael OK, we all know he's gay NOW, but we (or at least I) didn't then and I thought he was sex on toast!

33. Heart And Soul, T'pau The singer from T'Pau had RED HAIR which made me feel like less of a freak...
34. You Keep Me Hangin' On, Kim Wilde Definitely no match for the fabulous "Cambodia" and "Kids in America", but I'll always have a soft spot for KW (plus she babysat the daughter of my parents' best friends, how's that for cool?!)

40. Land Of Confusion, Genesis
41. Jacob's Ladder, Huey Lewis and The News
42. Who's That Girl, Madonna I've really only "bolded" Madonna because she epitomises the 1980s for me (but yeah, I bopped around to this too)
