Fuck this!!

My body, not being content with tormenting me with pain almost everywhere, decide to hit me with a most irritating cough. It is absolutely horrible and makes it impossible to sleep or even lay down. So now you know why I'm up at two o'clock in the morning.

Hits from 1986

saree_snowqueenposted a meme about hits from the year you turned 18.
This is the original meme:
"Go to Pop Culture Madness (http://www.popculturemadness.com/Music/Pop-Modern/2006.html) and select the year you became 18. Snip the best 50 songs from the list and paste it in your journal. Bold the ones you like and strike the ones you dislike, italic the ones you know but don't like nor dislike and the ones you don't know will stay common text."

But, as I commented in her journal, music was very different in Europe and in the US in the 80s, so maybe I recognized ten songs from the 1986 Billboard top 100.
So I also went to Tracks, which is a radio show on national radio in Sweden. It's not a sales list, instead the listeners (in 1986 pretty much everyone between 13 and 20) voted.

So here is my list, it includes quite a lot of swedish artists, and very few from the US. i didn't select the 50 I liked best, but took the top 50 for that year.
