Today KISW is playing the top songs of 1996!! Why 1996? I dunno, nothing really groundshaking about that year other than Metallica cutting their hair and KISS reuniting with former members for a huge tour.

If I remember correctly, that was still in the Pop era... i.e. Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, etc. :barf:

1996 was one of the greatest years in my life, I was 16-17 then. Sorry, I think very fondly of this era.

And the pop crap didn't really take back off in the US until 97.
