Taking a cue from Mad Momma's blog and tagging myself to talk about the songs that hit the Billboard charts the year I turned 18 -- 1992. Those who read this, consider yourself tagged!
Here are the rules:
1. Go to http://www.popculturemadness.com/ or http://www.everyhit.com/
2. Pick the year you turned 18
3. Get nostalgic over the songs of the year
4. Write something about how the songs affected you
5. Pass it on to more music-loving bloggers
Michael Jackson's Black or White: OK, this was likely the last MJ song I loved. I thought the video was especially cool and cutting-edge, and I remember looking at MJ and thinking, boy, if it doesn't matter to him if he's black or white, why the heck does he get whiter every year?
Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy: Ooooooh, parttyyyyyyy! This song was played at every party and nightclub I went to! Everyone knew the words.
Vanessa Williams' Save the Best for Last: Have it on CD and still listen to it and still know all the words.
Boyz II Men's End of the Road: Tragic break up song. Sigh, sigh. Brings back bittersweet memories.
Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You: Same as above, except now I find it slightly boring. WH does go on and on. I remember I saw "The Bodyguard" at the Eros Theater near my college in Mumbai. That was unforgettable.
Your turn, folks!

NOT FAIR!!! your year got some decent songs.. i chose different years and still got some crap!
Well, I turned 18 at the right time I guess! Hey, you got Lisa Loeb's "Stay," so that makes up for all the other crap.
When I was 18, I had vowed for some reason not to watch a single movie or listen to songs! :( :(
Can't pick this tag --- but a good read, nonetheless!
Black King, how about when you were 16 or 21?
