This one is actually from KROQ 106.7's 1988 yearend  countdown - this is the station I grew up listening to... they used to be the best when they played these songs everyday. But listen, I understand that today's youngsters are not interested in the songs of yesteryear - they want all the new stuff - and the advertisers are looking for that age demo for their listeners - Have fun and hopefully this will bring you back to some great times you have had ~~~~~~~~~~
