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?

Sunday's Best: Week 17, 2022

Another week down and a new month to boot! The weather is awesome here today in my part of midwest America: sunny and 70s. Reminds me of convertible weather. I had a red convertible once. It was so fun to drive around town with the top down when it wasn't scorching hot. There are just some songs that work better than others for convertible weather. That's our Sunday's Best for this week. I really wish I had a convertible now but maybe someday. Eric dreams of owning a Corvette and he would get a convertible and that would be cool with me!

In no order, my choices for the best convertible songs are:

The Eagles - Life In the Fast Lane

Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen

Aerosmith - Back In The Saddle

Autograph - Turn Up The Radio

Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood

Van Halen - Panama

Lindsey Buckingham - Holiday Road

Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55

Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time

George Michael - Freedom 90

Heart - Barracuda

Beach Boys - any track really, but the entire Pet Sounds album for sure.
