Wow... most of those were songs I remember as a kid... Are most of you in your mid twenties???
I remember Hall and Oats and Stevie Wonder songs from my toddler years... I remember dancing on my mother's mahogany coffee table to "You Make My Dreams" and "Isn't She Lovely", of course played on vinyl.
As a 7-10 year old, I remember stuff like "Broken Wings" and "Take Me Home Tonight" and bands like The Bangles, Expose, Banana Rama, and Madonna. Dare I mention such money makers as Color Me Badd, Vanilla Ice, and MC Hammer??? Ah, well, I would be lying if I didn't.
As a Middle Schooler, I was doing the Unskinny Bop with Poison, and was way too infatuated with Billy Idol, Skid Row, and Warrant. I also still liked the B52's and was just introduced to the Violent Femmes.
In Highschool, I moved into a different era... Listening to groups like Concrete Blonde, Tori Amos, and pop sensations like Ace of Base, R Kelley, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and even some Bootie and the Hofish.
Ahhh yes... those were the days. I'm old.
