We’re rewinding to March 7, 1987, when Bon Jovi ruled the airwaves with a prayer, Janet Jackson whispered about patience, and the Beastie Boys kicked the door open on a new era of party anthems. It’s a countdown packed with arena-sized hooks, emotional slow-burners, and neon-lit memories. Whether you were blasting Journey in your Camaro or slow-dancing to Club Nouveau, these twenty tracks are a full-body flashback to a time when pop, rock, and rebellion shared the same stage.
