An ‘F’ for Kenny G’s ‘Songbird’?!? I take it you loathe him as an artist, but c’mon, ‘Songbird’ does not deserve an ‘F’ grade.
there is no G or I’d have given him that…worst concert I ever went to- it wasn’t my idea I went with a couple friends- torture.
Ooooo…Expose’. I loved that group.
Where did you get Bolton & Kenny were brothers? Or, is that a joke?
it’s a joke…
You are so bad…😆
Did you know Don Ho and Julio Iglesias are also brothers? They were born Vito and Rocco Lampone in Newark, New Jersey..
Nice try. 🙄
Wow! I had no ideas that Kenny G and Michael Bolton were brothers. I was sixteen that year and I remember most of the songs on this list, my favorites are “Girls, Girls, Girls” by Motley Crue (they were my favorite band in those days), “Right on Track,” and “Head to Toe.”
I was just kidding about G and Bolton- it would make sense though…
It does. Their styles of music are similar. 🙂
Two songs from U2 in top 40 – Joshua Tree was such a great album – was really into that one
my favorite of theirs and one of my favorite albums by anyone…
I’m with you on that
