It's funny but 1993 doesn't seem that long ago compared to 1988, but in some ways it also feels vaguer. I can remember what I was doing in 1988 in many ways better than I can remember 1993. I do know in 1993 I spent most of my summer weekends in Louisville and really loved it. This is also the first year where when I look at the top 100 singles many of them I have no clue. Anyhow here is a look at the music from 1993.
