1987 the best year since 1957

This has been a crazy week. I am still enjoying my crazy class schedule, but I am so tired I am in the loopy stage. The problem with this is that I am very talkative in class, I raise my hand and voice my opinions, which is not like me at all. This may come as a shock to most, but I am actually very shy in class. It makes me nervous to talk in a class full of kids that are way smarter than me. I don't like to share my opinions in an environment that isn't save.

Why you may ask, well I am a music lover, and I am recently into the eighty music. And with the whole facebook trend of finding the #1 song of the year you were born, I took it one step further and found the top 100 songs of 1987, the year I was born.

Now why would I compare the year I was born to the year my parents were born, simply because of one song 'Little, bitty, Pretty one' by Thurston Harris, possibly one of the best songs ever. I don't know every song on this list but I do know enough to make the statement that 1987 was a fantastic year for music!
