Happy Thanksgiving! But it's the last Thursday of the month and I am still doing my Top Picks of the year, this month being 1988. If you are looking for Thanksgiving songs go back one day and there are some there. But these are my top picks of songs for the year 1988. It's what I picked then, not neccesarily what I would pick if I was doing it over today. But they are mostly pretty decent. It's what I owned then of songs released in 1988 for my availibility. Tomorrow the Top Album Picks of '88. Almost no one has heard of Red Zone, but I listened to that track a lot back then. A few songs that actually reached the top 40, a few covers, some house music and a couple of medley's (four). And Spock, sampled!
