Oh, dear, I know I jumped plenty years ahead to feature songs of 1988 first instead of beginning from 1980. But I so like 1988 best of all, reason why I'm featuring them now. 1988 was my best year by far,here's why: on the average 8 out of 10 prayers answered... problems breezed through as if nothing happened... topped 6th at the dreaded NCEE... got accepted in 3 colleges... surprisingly did well in math that year (yeah, Physics, Algebra and Trigonometry) ... it was a great year... awesome friends even the "bullies" in my class didn't bother me much... well, prayers about love life were not really answered, but it turned out in the end (hahahaha, as if I had a love life!)... well you get my drift ;)
So here's a quick look at the 100 of the most striking, singular tunes from 1988 that I'm sure people my age would appreciate- I hope! haha... some pop hits are pretty lame but still makes you go nostalgic.
