so the ones that are unprocessed above are ones of which i was unaware in 1988. heck, i'm still unaware of some of them. Never heard that Chicago song, for instance.
and yes, i liked Don't Worry, Be Happy. Heck, even went and saw Bobby McFerrin in concert at Davies Hall that fall. (From this list, acts that I saw in concert in 1988: The Beach Boys, Richard Marx and McFerrin. Also Pink Floyd, Oingo Boingo and, um, i'm sure there was at least one more... every band that played at the Redwood Ampitheatre at Great America that summer, as i was working there)
update 12/3: Midnight Oil! how could I forget seeing Midnight Oil... especially Peter Garret telling off the Great America security guards when they tried to stop people moshing. :)
