High School Music
No, not High School Musical. Although a fan of the movie, not what this post is about…..
Was thinking back….. what music influenced me most in high school, especially my senior year?
Here are the ten songs that were played over and over in my 1987 Pontiac Sunbird during the year of 1990:
1. My Prerogative- Bobby Brown
2. Poison- Bell Biv Devoe
3. Blame it On the Rain- Milli Vanilli
4. Right Here Waiting- Richard Marx
5. Every Rose Has its Thorn- Poison
6. I’ll Be There for You- Bon Jovi
7. Bust A Move- Young MC
8. Patience- Guns N Roses
9. Groovy Kind of Love- Phil Collins (actually anything from Phil Collins)
10. Never Gonna Give You Up- Rick Astley
Other favorites from you?
A three year old car when you were a senior???? Wow, I haven’t had one that new ever! *G*

Great post. My list is very similar to yours. A couple other artists I listed to were:
Tears for Fears
Anita Baker
Asia
AC/DC
Michael W. Smith (how’s that for a playlist?)
Lichty
Dude, did you have a Mili Vanilli song at number 3? Wow. Seriously, I was in the 5th or 6th grade back then. But I see you have a little flavor. Not bad for an Oklahoman!
Wow, that is a hard one! Probably the great “MM–Bob” by The Hanson Brothers or “Oops I Did It Again” by Brittany Spears. Yes, I’m only 22 so, my sr. year was only a couple years ago!–Anna
Youth Gone Wild – Winger
Up All Night – Slayer
Hurricane – Scorpions
Civil War – Guns N Roses
Pretty much anything butt rock (and of course anything that played on Rock 100 The KATT out of OKC!)
Wow. Those played in your Sunbird in 1990? I have many of them in my iTunes even today!
