You don't necessarily need to be so picky as to select songs released specifically during the 9 months from the first day of your senior year till your graduation day...just pick something released during the same calendar year as your graduation.

Great thread.

 

Unfortunately, I have to balk at some of LB13's list. Pretty sure some of that list was actually 1985. Autograph was the performer at Kings Island's senior night that year, and since "Turn Up the Radio," was their only hit, I'm thinking it had to be a spring of 85 song. Stong list though, LB.

 

Also, before making my list, I'd like an exemption as i prefer to think of the songs of your senior year as the 12 month period between June of the end of your junior year, and the following June of graduation.

I second this opinion.

I always thought of Papa as more of a Bach fan...

I used to pal around with the 3 B's.
