You know who was sixteen in 1988? ME!

:scared:

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Can't believe it, but I was. I can still hear the tune from our prom theme, "....now I've - had - the time of my life...."

...a sixteen year old girl is listening to that song and ENVYING us!

Wait....really?

You all are babies

and graduated from college that year (I didn't start going to college until I was 24).

Peace,
Bella

and having my third baby! :)

Tears for Fears got me thru a broken heart.

I was 13 turning 14 in 1988. What a wierd miserable year of my life...I guess that's probably true for most people.

- Top 20 pop songs from 1988 --

I gotta admit, Faith by George Michael was a pretty good tune :). And I slow-danced with a cute boy to One More Try, I will never forget that (he asked me to dance and my 'pretty' 'friend' was so pissed - she was all 'Why would he ask Megan to dance? She's the ugliest one of all of us'. Bitch ;).). There are actually a couple tunes on this list I would love to hear, but I won't tell which ones :silly:

20 I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, Taylor Dayne (Arista) (#3, Sept)

I loved that whole album. Wish I knew where it was....hmmm.

I have the whole thing on my iTunes. I loved Wishing Well.

LOL.

That's kinda funny.

Go-Go's :thumbsup:

Belinda Carlisle solo :thumbsdown:

That's coming from someone who wa 13 at the time, fwiw :)

It is funny how some music stand the test of time, pop music usually does not.

More rock songs seem to last.

i'm glad i don't remember much of the 80s.

I turned 17 in June. Don't be sad! I like being 33. I have a car I would have just loved when I was 16, but sure as hell couldn't afford it, and at 16 I had so much to learn in my life and so much struggle to get me to where I am. I am not too jealous of my 16 year old self.

Now, if I could go back KNOWING what I know now, things might be different. But, I am where I am because of where I was, so I am content.

:)

You're all old fogeys.:P

I grew up in the 70s/80s, and I can tell ya, I was there. The music in the 80s was, for the most part, utter and catastrophic SHIT.

I am indeed saddened that some poor lass of a girl thinks that music is worth listening to.

But, she's a freeper girl, so of course she'd go for the most ignorant, braindeadening pablum crap.

"The music in the 80s was, for the most part, utter and catastrophic SHIT."


Some folks like tomato juice, some like clamato. I disagree, but then again, I was into Pink Floyd in 1968 and fondly remember much of the Eighties. What music do you happen to think isn't catastropic SHIT?

Waste Of A Entire Decade

:evilgrin:

B-) B-) :beer: :beer: :beer: :headbang:

:smoke:

:evilgrin:

No matter how low one manages to set the bar with a freeper, they'll always manage to crawl under it...

My birthdays in December so I turn 8 late in the year.
The good news was the Bengals had won their division and later the AFC title.
:)
The bad news was the music sucked, the Ohio State Buckeyes football team started to slide downhill becuase they hired that bastard John Cooper to coach the squad.
:(

I would have turned 8 in November of 1988.

I have shoes older than most of you! hahahahaha

:hi:

hanging out in rock clubs. Loved them hair bands. :headbang:
