So you take the top 50 records from the year you were 18 from this
website, post the list and then -
bold the ones you liked,
and italicize the ones you knew but didn’t particularly like or dislike.
The ones you don’t know will still be in normal text.
I remember 1989 very well. I was going through a long torturous on-off long distance relationship with my first love (at the start of the year), taking my A-levels (in the middle of the year) and coming over to the UK for the first time for my University years and meeting my husband (towards the end of the year). Gosh, that was so long ago........
Here's my 50 songs.
RIDE ON TIME Black Box - Reminds me of my first taste of clubs in the UK
SWING THE MOOD Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers
ETERNAL FLAME The Bangles
TOO MANY BROKEN HEARTS Jason Donovan not a Jason/ early Kylie fan
BACK TO LIFE (HOWEVER DO YOU WANT ME) Soul II Soul - clubbing again
SOMETHING'S GOTTEN HOLD OF MY HEART Marc Almond featuring Gene Pitney - This song really reminds me of coming over to the UK.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers
PUMP UP THE JAM Technotronic featuring Felly -I was never really keen on rap.

Haha!! We have the same taste in 80's music!! I loved Madonna, Bangles, Roy Orbison. I was also a Prince fan. And even though I hate being sappy, deep down inside, I loved all of Richard Marx songs. =)
I think I spent most of 1989 in a shell suit *shudders* (hey stop laughing - I was 9!)
Loved the music though.
