(Finished April 11th, 2026) Part 7 (Part 2) of The Best Songs of 1985-1986

Hello,

The years 1985 and 1986 were some of the most monumental days in my life. I was working my first job at Safeways grocery stores and boy I learned at that job. Some of the stuff was actually good for me. I graduated high school-our 40th graduation anniversary is this year. After that I froze my butt off at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. The only good thing with that is I got over being homesick for what was quickly coming. Ricks College was later renamed BYU-Idaho and much later Benson Boone went there for a semester. So I have that going for me. After coming home and working for the summer I went on a mission to the Mississippi-Jackson Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

There are so many good memories associated with many of these songs.

I was cataloguing songs for this blog series. While doing that I realized that I had two different lists for parts 6 to 10. This was an accident and wasn’t intentional. This is me fixing the problem as much as I can.
