Bold= Loved it.
Italics= Liked
And my addition:
Left the same (unmarked) = blah (indifferent. Usually a song that was either ok, or one I just don't care enough to even hate it.)
The list:
1. Faith, George Michael
2. Need You Tonight, INXS
3. Got My Mind Set On You, George Harrison (what can I say? Catchy tune, at least back then)
4. Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley
5. Sweet Child O' Mine, Guns N' Roses
6. So Emotional, Whitney Houston (liked it back then. These days, I can barely stand Whitney Houston. Goes to show tastes do change)
7. Heaven Is A Place On Earth, Belinda Carlisle
8. Could've Been, Tiffany
9. Hands To Heaven, Breathe

11. One More Try, George Michael (I remember this was popular for slow dancing back then)

51. Make It Real, Jets (I barely remember this, even listening to it now.)

78. The Valley Road, Bruce Hornsby and The Range
79. Don't Be Cruel, Bobby Brown
80. Always On My Mind, Pet Shop Boys
81. Piano In The Dark, Brenda Russell Featuring Joe Esposito (I don't think this one made it to my circles back then, so to speak. It's ok though now that I've heard it).

The list comes from this site. If you want to do a different year, and you use the link, easiest way is simply to use the search box typing "top songs" and the year; it will get you a link. For stuff I did not recall off the top of my head, YouTube worked quite well, except for one song. It was interesting to look them up and go, "oh yea, I remember that now." I should clarify, since I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, I missed a couple in favor of the Latin Music that was popular back then as well. Rock and pop were popular, still are, back in Puerto Rico, but so are the sounds of salsa, merengue, and now reggaeton for instance. Result is I have a very eclectic music taste. Maybe a list of Latin music for next time? Who knows. In the meantime, I will be adding a few of these to my favorites list in YouTube.
