I had a thought (a thought! A shining, shimmering thought) in the midst of the 10-year reunion tonight.

Most reunion movies are soundtrack-driven: The Big Chill and Motown, Grosse Pointe Blank and new-wave 80s, you know.

But what would we, the class of '93, have for our soundtrack-driven reunion film?
The Spin Doctors.

Lord help us all.

Nah, Spatch is right. Like the '80s, the musical legacy of the mid-90s will be shaped by the alternative radio playlist, not the pop chart.

Class of '93

Gack. That whole new world song was our senior prom theme

Class of '98. All I have to say is: ACK ACK ACK.
Mine is apparently the year of "My Heart Will Go On." Oh, the pain.
