Also tell us a little about yourself and where you were in 1996.

I was in third grade and fourth grade in 1996. I was a staunch conservative, following my dad's lead, and rallied behind Dole and Gingrich. My leg was in a cast the beginning of the year; I gained 20 lbs in it. I was obsessed with computers and I "invented" (in my head) "Kufon Computers", which ran on KufonOS. I also got a new computer that year, one with a P5/150 processor, 24 megs of RAM, a 2G hard drive, "surround sound", and most uniquely of all....a TV tuner. That was the year I first connected to the "real" internet. That was also the year that I first had a definitive interest in dance music.

As for school, I was constantly bullied. I "got revenge" to the applause of all my dad's employees against another kid by coming at him from behind and kicking him on the ground (though not in the face, I was too good for that) in October, which landed me in detention. I regret that. I had a major crush on a certain girl, who seemed to partially reciprocate, though.

Enough of me, here are some of the songs that were popular with me that year:

Deep Blue Something "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (early 1996 - still love this song)


Deep Blue Something - Breakfast At Tiffany's - YouTube

Tears for Fears "Raoul" (the music video - or part of it - came on a CD that was included with my new computer)


Tears for Fears - Raoul and the King of Spain - YouTube

Amber "This is Your Night" (first heard this one towards the end of the year...became an incredible hit with me)

in 96 I was 18. My appendix went to hell. Those aren't best examples of good songs.

Here is another terrible example.

For something a bit better:


311 - All Mixed Up - YouTube


Wonderwall - YouTube

As one of the hardened music critics on here I will surprise the viewers by defending Breakfast At Tiffanys. This is a solid catchy pop rock song.

I can think of worst assaults on my ears.

1996 was the year that Guided By Voices released Alien Lanes. This is a lo fi masterpiece that influenced many others.

My favorite songs in 1996 were all released in the 70's.

I don't know why, but for some reason Celine Dion doesn't make me want to carve out my eardrums with a rusty spoon. In theory, she should.
