Wow. I never really liked the radio very much and looking at that list, it’s clear why. What a total line-up of crap. It’s hard even to get motivated to hate most of that stuff. I don’t recognize quite a few. There’s not a single song on there that I can honestly say that I really liked. Most of the bolded songs are songs that I liked well enough. I can’t be bothered to feel one way or the other about most of it and I actively hated quite a few. I thought this might be a cool meme, but now that I’ve gone through it, I’m left not feeling much of anything. I suppose that’s a good enough commentary on late 80’s pop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
