No, I'm an oldtimer. :wink: In fact, my buddy who I've known since I was 4 just turned 40 yesterday and it totally freaked me out. He's only 2 years older than me so I was like...fuck!

There was only AM radio where I was from, but the music was awesome, pop songs mainly, but shit you had forgotten about, like 'Sometimes a Fantasy' by Billy Joel. I don't know who managed that station but they did well then and still do today.

But I digress. The songs from summer of '92 that were played a lot. I recall Bohemian Rhapsody being played excessively. And Def Leppard's 'Let's Get Rocked' was another. Tom Cochrane's Life is A Highway almost certainly. Ozzy's 'No More Tears' as well. RHCP 'Give it Away' and 'Under the Bridge' and probaby GNR too. And also 'Again Tonight' by John Mellencamp, which was probably not a radio hit, but would've been in my area.

I almost put Bohemian Rhapsody but for some reason I remembered that being more of a Spring 1992 song. But yeah, definitely Let's Get Rocked by Def Leppard. Also, "November Rain" by GnR was a big one as I recall.
