Okay, so maybe my recent "1984" collection of popular songs represented the music of my generation (I was born in '78). But this set of songs – of which there will be 3 volumes, by the way – represents the music of my teenage years – the first time in my life that I actually chose what I wanted to listen to, and could (occasionally) afford to buy it for myself. I didn't own copies of all the songs gathered in this miniseries of posts – but I did listen to them all, mostly on MTV (back when they actually played music videos!) and on the radio. If you're close to my age, you probably remember many of these well, and probably some of them quite fondly. Take a trip back with me to the music of 20 years ago. Here we go... ~ JH
