man, you guys posted like half my record collection from my younger days.

but what age are you exactly when you're in 8th grade we have a
very different system over here in europe i think.

jr. high school is 12-14 yrs old unless you flunk.

8th grade was my transition year, when I went from my favorite band being New Kids on the Block to Love and Rockets and the Cure. I remember really liking Edie Brickell and discovering Depeche Mode and seeking out their entire back catalog. And of course, I still loved Prince.

8th Grade 1985:

1. Oh Sheila - Ready for the World
2. Raspberry Beret - Prince
3. Material Girl - Madonna
4. Party All the Time - Eddie Murphy
5. Neutron Dance - Pointer Sisters

In school that year, a band came to school to do a concert of cover songs. It was a big deal for us. I remember they sang "Pop Life," but I had never heard it. Also the lead singer started to sing "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Ritchie and came down and took my hand as I was in the front row, and pulled me on stage to sing to me in front of my whole school. I was mortified!

Christopher said:

i see. pretty cool taste on this thread for 12-14 yr olds

The more I think about this, the more I realize 8th grade was the year of SOTT. I played it to absolute death!
And I remember being quite into George Michael and Janet Jackson as well.

from that music and really got in2 Hard-Rock and Heavy Metal!!

- Van Halen Diver Down
- Iron Maiden Number of the beast/Piece of mind
- Def Leppard Pyromania
- Y&T Earhshaker
- Saxon Power&Glory
