1987

1987 was the best year in the history of time because it was the year I came into the world.

It was also a great year for music.

About half of these songs are on my list of favorite songs of all time.

Maybe it's because I heard them in the womb or maybe it's because 1987 was just a great year!

The following are the top forty hits of 1987.

Enjoy.
