Okay guys, this is a weird one.  I was wondering if you could think back and tell me your favorite songs of each school year starting in 6th grade....

6th - Push It - Salt and Peppa/ Naughty Girls Need Love Too - Samantha Foxx
7th - Like a Prayer - Madonna / Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard
8th - Batdance - Prince
9th - I wish it would rain down - Phil Collins
10th - Policy of Truth - Depeche Mode
11th - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
12th - Jump Around - House of Pain

Okay, so am I the only boy who liked Like a Prayer in 7th grade?  Yes I am straight by the way :).  

This should be interesting...

I was in 6th grade 83-84 so..

6th: "The Reflex" - Duran Duran
7th: "The Bird" - The Time/"Take On Me" - a-ha/"Pop Life" - Prince & The Revolution
8th: "Oh Sheila" - Ready For The World
9th: "Bizarre Love Triangle" - New Order
10th: "True Faith" - New Order
11th: "What's On Your Mind" - Information Society/"Wild Thing" - Tone Loc
12th: "Pump Up The Jam" - Technotronic

I can't even remember what I ate for dinner last night, much less what my favorite song was in the 7th grade!  :-/

This really going to date me. I hope I can remember back that far-after all, it was in the dark ages.  ;)


6th-Angie Baby (Helen Reddy)
7th-Theme from Mahogney (Diana Ross)
8th-Piped Piper (Jethro Tull)
9th-Castle Walls (Styx)
10th-You Took the Words Right out of my Mouth (Meatloaf)
11th-Hotel California (Eagles)
12th-I'm OK (Styx)


There were actually A LOT but I did narrow it down to one.

I was into other stuff, listened to a lot of classic rock from during the highschool years, but narrowed it down on my list to the stuff that was out in that particular slice of time. This exercise really opened a flood-gate of memories as well! Good topic.
