1988 Was A Badass Year For Music

The Facebook post below just showed up in my suggested follows account last night. I couldn't help but notice all the amazing songs from 1988. So many great number 1 hits! There's so many George Michael songs here (Faith was a huge album folks!), plus Guns n' Roses, Def Leppard and INXS. Cheap Trick hit paydirt with "The Flame" and so did Poison with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."

Bon Jovi reached the top of the charts with "Bad Medicine" and The Beach Boys made a comeback with "Kokomo." Such a great list of songs. Perhaps the best year for popular music, ever. Thoughts?

That's a pretty varied and good list, bands I don't care for notwithstanding. Amazing to look back at the past. Sigh.

And I am sure that some of the yoots from this era will pine for today like we do for then. Well, actually, I am not so sure.

So, I will love what this sort of list represents (and it represents more than what the list itself details).

Totally agree. For me, my favorite music years were 1987-1991. Not only the glam music but other metal and even the pop stuff like George Michael.
