Popular Songs Of 1996, Vol. 1

OK, now we're getting into my wheelhouse, the soundtrack of my youth. In particular, the soundtrack of my freshman year of college. So...the sentiment is strong with these songs.

In the mid-'90s, these songs could not have been avoided, even if you tried (and I didn't, really). So what are we waiting for? Let's go!  ~  JH
