One of those songs is too sexy for this thread. So I voted for it.

This must be US charts right?

― Evil Eau (dog latin), Monday, 18 April 2011 13:35 (fifteen years ago)

Voted for the song I liked best at the time (and maybe now, too): "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss."

(This was my 8th-grade year, too, btw.)

― jaymc, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:42 (fifteen years ago)

It was Johnny Fever's senior year in high school : )

Wait - confused - did you make a duplicate poll on purpose?

looks like it: sb-ing you kkvgz...

― music loves drugs (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 18 April 2011 13:44 (fifteen years ago)

sb not, for I am just busting balls here.

― kkvgz, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:45 (fifteen years ago)

(that may or may not be an empty threat...)

― music loves drugs (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 18 April 2011 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

what, is it just because his poll was a direct copy from yr idea...?

― music loves drugs (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 18 April 2011 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

sb not, for so many hormones were coursing through my 12-year-old brain that I fell in love with each and every one of these songs and wanted to create a way to vote for more than one.

― kkvgz, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:47 (fifteen years ago)

lol

tempted to make a "Canadian #1 Singles From My Grade Eight Year"

― steendriving is very bad - but I got a fake ID though! (some dude), Monday, 18 April 2011 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

^do it!...then i'll poll the polls

(polls are getting polled anyways)

― music loves drugs (Drugs A. Money), Monday, 18 April 2011 13:49 (fifteen years ago)

xp: no, I just think that the trend of polling "hot singles from year when ________ happened to me" is funny, because we've probably polled each of those years singles before separately.

― kkvgz, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:49 (fifteen years ago)

yeah totally -- doing sep of one year to may of the next year instead of the calender doesn't really make it any less redundant

Oh shit, so here's one of the threads I was thinking of, but it looks like Rev got tired before he got to polling 1991.

US #1s of 1992

― kkvgz, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:53 (fifteen years ago)

Set Adrift On Memory Bliss embarrasses nearly everything else here.

― jer.fairall, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:58 (fifteen years ago)

Cream!

― mizzell, Monday, 18 April 2011 15:11 (fifteen years ago)

Get on top!

― jaymc, Monday, 18 April 2011 15:31 (fifteen years ago)

Glad you're making these moves strategically. (?)

Look up in the air, it's your SB.

― An A-Team of Apes. (Phil D.), Monday, 18 April 2011 16:04 (fifteen years ago)

1) set adrift
2) black or white
3) save the best for last
4) good vibrations

― teledyldonix, Monday, 18 April 2011 18:56 (fifteen years ago)

"Jump" vs. "Save The Best" for me; Kris Kross win that easily though. (Runners-up, no order: "Set Adrift," "Black Or White," "Emotions," "Promise Of A New Day," "I Ador Mi Amor," maybe "Romantic" -- I'd have to go back and check that one, but it's definitely no "Superwoman.")

I'm going to one more poll with the same songs as above: "#1 Singles from the Year I Started Supply Teaching."

― clemenza, Monday, 18 April 2011 19:23 (fifteen years ago)

I read that as "supply side teaching."

― My mom is all about capital gains tax butthurtedness (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 April 2011 19:24 (fifteen years ago)

I read that as "puppy teaching". No idea if it exists but sounds adorable.

Man, these were dark times.

― Pleasant Plains, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:55 (fifteen years ago)

This was my first year at secondary school. Assumed that the relative lack of songs I have good memories of was US/UK chart differences, but apparently all the songs I remember hearing this year actually came out the year after. Thanks, my completely erroneous memory.

That said, Set Adrift.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
