Song Sung Blue

Borrowed from Life as I know it. A meme. Google the top 100 songs from the year you graduated from high school, bold the ones you loved (then, anyways!), strikeout the ones you hated, and leave the others plain.

1987. I don't remember much about what we were listening to that year. Never Say Goodbye was our prom theme, but it wasn't my favourite Jon Bon song by any stretch. The band hadn't learned how to play it, so they only did so one time and instead played Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now many times. I'm assuming because it was the song most schools chose as their theme that year. I was insane the first half of the year with worry about moving to Toronto. The second half of the year I was insane with the culture shock of moving to Toronto. We listened to Whitesnake a lot, I remember. I think someone was on a Judd's kick then. We danced to Mony Mony. I started my education into 70's rock and Toronto's band scene. As for the list, if I can't remember the song or if I was indifferent to it, I've left it untouched.
