1987 was a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago.
Well...for some people it was. LOL
I bring up 1987 b/c I was having a convo on twitter with Pigskin Loving Lady and she mentioned that she graduated from high school in 1987. I advised her that I ENTERED high school in 1987!
So, after a few jokes. I began to try to remember what THE JAM was in 1987. I couldn't remember. Shoot, I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday. I definitely don't remember '87. But it got me to thinking about the year that I graduated from high school...1991. I began to wonder about the music that I listened to back then.
Still couldn't remember. So I decided to look it up. Wanna know what my favorite cds that were released in 1991???

I'll admit that I didn't know that these all came out in '91. I used Wikipedia to find out the music that dropped in '91.
What about you? What was the music that dropped the year that you graduated from high school?
