What were the top 3 songs from your high school class?
Did you have a list of favorites listed in your yearbook?
You can choose top 3 of the top 40 of that year if you’d like, or the songs that were popular with your peers.
I graduated in 89, but the year that stands out for me was my sophomore year. Our top 3 songs in 87 were:
Fight For Your Right To Party- Beastie Boys
Livin’ On A Prayer- Bon Jovi
Brass Monkey- Beastie Boys
(the new Beastie Boys music inspired this question. good memories for me)

hmmm, I always thought I was older than you
I just looked at the top songs of 1993, and recall many of them. However the ones I recall from MTV mostly sucked. So I’m listing the ones I still like from that list:
Insane in the brain Cypress Hill
Check yo self Ice Cube feat. DAS EFX
It was a good day Ice Cube
Very cruel to only allow three as 1978 was an amazing time for music…
Baker Street – Gerry Rafferty with that signature Sax solo
Fat Bottomed Girls – Queen
Runnin’ With the Devil – Van Halen and Diamond Dave
@cockswain Yeah, I get that all the time. You’re not that much younger than me though. ;)
@Cruiser I could list many more too.

The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Charlie Daniels Band
What a Fool Believes, Doobie Brothers
Our class song was Born to Be Wild, Steppenwolf

Yikes- I remember hearing those tunes just before I was forced into the US Navy. ;-0
Do you remember Aretha’s version of “I Say a Little Prayer”, from the same year?
