the year was nineteen-ninety-six (this post is pointless, only read if you're bored)

in anticipated celebration of my 10 year highschool reunion which is supposed to be happening this spring (but if things shake down in typical highschool fashion as i experienced it, i won't be invited because let's face it, i never was part of those reindeer games), i have decided to list a few of the songs that made ''the top 100 of 1996'. below are the songs that i actually remember turning up when they came on the radio. consider this my way of letting you in on my embarrassing past.
