Could probably switch a few singles for singles off the same album, but this is an "in no order" list. These are from 1976. Love the seventies...no Pink Floyd album that year. :o(

Hotel California- Eagles
Dirty Deeds- ACDC
Back in the Saddle- Aerosmith
Radar Love- Golden Earring
Breakdown- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
More Than a Feeling- Boston
Turn the Page- Bob Seger
Somebody to Love
Beth-Kiss
First Cut is the Deepest- Rod Stewart

Pretty good list Somebody To Love would probably be my favorite from that year followed closely by Hotel California.

Does it hurt too much? It certainly doesn't for me

I'm not the "I was born in the wrong time" kind of guy. Yeah it's kinda boring that I can't think of a single 1995 song I love (and I can think of so much good stuff music-related in 1994, damnit), but whatever. At least I still got to see both of my favorite bands ever live. (Now if only I find the money to complete watch the third one and complete the triforce...)


You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson came out in 95, good song to sleep to. 

Its a pretty good song considering that it was written for him by someone else.  The only Michael Jackson song that I would consider great that he didn't write himself is "Thriller".

Hmm... I don't remember anything from the 97'. Really hate the 90's btw



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

That was actually easier than I expected, turns out I like quite a few songs from 1989 (not in any particular order):

Fire Woman by The Cult
Free Fallin' by Tom Petty
I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty
Runnin' Down a Dream by Tom Petty
Blew by Nirvana
Epic by Faith No More
Love in an Elevator by Aerosmith
Rock You Like a Hurricane by Scorpions
No One like You by Scorpions
Eyes of a Stranger by Queensryche 


Nice list but Rock You Like a Hurrican was recorded and released in 1984 its still a great song though.

It was a really good decade when it comes to movies and video games.  Just when it comes to music it was kinda weak.

That's wierd, found it on a 1989 list. Maybe it was re-released on a 1989 album?


Must have been a greatest hits album since No one Like You isn't from 1989 either it was released in 1982 in March as the first single from the Blackout album.

1997 is kind of a dry year for good music imo, but there are a few good songs I think. Fuel and The Unforgiven Part 2 by Metallica, My Own Prison by Creed, and Gone Away by The Offspring stand out for me. 


All My Life by K-Ci & Jo Jo  is the song I remember the most even though the song didn't become huge until the single was released in March of 1998.  Since I played a lot of GT2 I also heard this song a lot:
