So many of those shaped my music world for the next many years and even listen to today.
As a matter of fact back in 1987 and in less than 10 days away I would attend my first Cure Concert and my little 13 year old self was completely blown away

So you don’t remember 1987?
Posted on 7/17/25 at 11:59 am to STigers
Vividly, especially Sept 18, 1987.

Wow that’s pretty specific?
Was that a football game?

Maybe it was the 25th. Not so vivid I guess.

Chloe Dancer is one of the greatest songs i've ever heard. Its 2 songs in one. Andy went too soon thinking what MLB could have been. PJ doesn't come close to what MLB was!

That’s a crazy statement and complete nonsense. MLB released one Album after Wood died and Pearl Jam is still making music to this day.
We will never know how great they would have been.

You forgot Don Meclean. American Pie was released in 1971 also.

1984 crushed 1987 and neither of them are the best year overall

Saw this tour and when they began to play Snakepit, the arena was shrouded with a cloud of pot smoke.

So many bands I love on that list, but almost all were past where I liked them best.

Most of all...it gave us Robert Earl Keen - No Kinda Dancer, which provided the immortal lyrics from Swirvin' in My Lane
"You keep a-swervin' in my lane
And it's causin' lots of danger
I'm a-cussin' out your name
I'm a-shootin' you the finger
I keep a-switchin' on my bright lights
But you're just too dim to know
When you're swervin' on life's highway
You're runnin' someone off the road"
Not saying this was the best year...just some other stuff I liked from that year.

86-87 is the start for me with most of these bands. Discovering them to exploring their back catalogue to waiting for new music. Was the beginning of my Love of Music.
