End of '91, I believe, when Nevermind topped the charts.

I've closely examined the '91, '92, '93 & '94 charts (these were arguably the years that "grunge" was at its most popular).

You will be quite surprised I think....

Gloria Loring was the one who did the Facts of Life theme song. So 34 must be the song from the soap she was on at the time. This one thinks it was Days of Our Lives...

In 1986, I was ending a 3 year relationship, moved into my very favorite place ever in San Francisco, and applied to law school. I also remember partying a lot. The songs I liked from this list were:

15. THE WAY IT IS Bruce Hornsby & the Range

20. WEST END GIRLS Pet Shop Boys

21. TAKE MY BREATH AWAY Berlin

26. HOLDING BACK THE YEARS Simply Red

40. I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON Robert Palmer

I guess it wasn't one of my favorite years music-wise.
