My music of 1992...

I'm up to 1992 on my 90s countdown series. 92 was 9th/10th grade. As I reflect on the music of my high school years, I realize that a lot of the songs are more nostalgic/sentimental favorites - and some people might think I am completely insane for having them on my countdown... Sometimes the songs themselves aren't the best, but hearing them brings back certain memories. It's interesting how different people connect to different songs in different ways!

Funny side note: My husband is kind enough to peruse my countdowns. And he rates each song with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or side thumb. Thumbs up means he agrees with my a song's place in the countdown. Thumbs down, obviously, means I am insane for including a particular song. Side thumb means that while he may not love the song, he doesn't completely hate it. My 80s countdown got mostly thumbs up, a few side thumbs, and only 2 or 3 thumbs down. My Neil Diamond countdown got 1 thumbs down, the rest thumbs up. I can't wait to see how he feels about my 90s countdowns. Something tells me there will be a lot of thumbs downs! :-)
