This month ... it's all about the top 30 jukebox memories (see rules below) -- relevant because it was *our* class who got a jukebox installed in the cafeteria (along with Coke machines and one of those electronic message boards).
As kids who grew up with MTV (back when it played videos almost all of the time instead of now when it just lets cameras follow misbehaving young people 24/7) AND as kids who grew up with Ronald Reagan being the first President with whom we had much of a connection, it might just be that the somewhat subversive video with those scary marionettes that Genesis used in 'Land of Confusion' made more of an impression that just listening to the song on the jukebox ... but still ... listen to it we did (I think).
RULES FOR THIS TOP 30 LIST: Songs are as remembered from when they were being played loudly in the cafeteria, making us all raise our voices at mealtimes in order to hear each other. All memories are believed to be accurate and will be fact checked on the interwebs to make sure that featured songs were actually released prior to June of 1989 (but since these memories are thirty years old, there is not a guarantee of 100% accuracy.) Also note that an appearance on this list is not necessarily an endorsement of the song or the artist. And if anyone out there wants to make a mixtape that we can all make copies of at the reunion, now is the time to start working on that task.
