I don't want to hear about how old y'all are. I graduated in 1985. 1985! A few months ago I heard one of the anthems of my youth, the song I played (on a turntable, no less) over and over in my room played as MUZAK AT WALGREENS. I'm old and cranky and you should all get off my lawn! I'm keeping your frisbee.
Re: Listen here, you little whippersnappers...
Collage/ High School era music was:
Madonna
Banarama
Annie Lenox
The Police
Now, that's OLD!

1986 here. Our cable box (once we finally got one) had the remote control hooked to it with a REALLY long cord.
AND - I saw the first video ever played on MTV. Remember that? Video Killed The Radio Star.
Song most likely heard at a college party was Blister in the Sun. (graduated there in 1990).

I love you Missy. Even though you are not smart enough to take online quizzes to find out really important information. ~cew
I was sad when the host of their game show (Remote Control), Ken Ober, died. That's where Adam Sandler first showed up. I loved that show - I always kickedass from home.
Of course, that was back when MTV played MUSIC.

Awww my sisters graduated highschool in 85 and 87 so, OhWhy I grew up with a lot of their culture floatin' around. Plus I am with Lauren. I am pretty sure my wedding playlist had all of the groups you mentioned and no damn awful, "I can make your bed rock" shiit.
RAWR!
I loved Remote Control
Oh, and for my nephew, I downloaded Iggy Pop Wild Child, Takin Care of Business, and MC Hammer Can't Touch This.
PS - I love you LC!!

OWN and Missy, I feel the same pain when songs that are from our youth (and are on my iPod) are used as commercial jingles. "I'll Melt With You" for Burger King?! "Pictures of You" for HP Printers?! Arrgh!

I do not miss the BIG shoulder pads and BIG belts though. TG I was thin then though. If you think the jeans get skinny now.....

[QUOTE]Ladies, I just want y'all to know that I listen to all the same music NOW as you used to because, frankly, it's a hell of a lot better than anything coming out right now. Also, my mom graduated in '73 and I don't consider her old in the slightest. So none of y'all are old to me.

[QUOTE]Yes, the 80s really were fun. Great music. The shoulder pads are hilarious - how about those high-waisted jeans with the flap-over? Do you know what I mean? And spiral perms. My ipod is ridiculously 80s-centric, because let's face it: 80s music is awesome. I'm going to be that obnoxious aunt at everyone's wedding getting down with that kind of swingy, side-to-side, ska-like 80s dancing when 80s music comes on.

I so wish I had an aunt like that!
And I listen to 70's music all day at work.
July is just around the corner! BTW, whens your birthday?
Justin Baby booboo is a whippersnapper. Trying to pick up Beyonce, Chelsea Field, etc.
When John and I travel, we have such differing tastes in music, the one thing we'll put in is Pink Floyd. I can sleep to that, and he can listen to it all day long.

P.S. I knew what you meant but I couldn't resist a little teasing.
But hey, at least my taste of music doesn't betray that! If you looked at my CD case, you'd think I grew up in the 50s.

Sarah - do you want to go hang with my parents? They had quite the collection of 50s music for their 8 track in their car when I was a teen in the 70s. :)
I graduated in '79. I like the Dropkick Murphys, Journey and Barbra Streisand.
Yeah - I know, I'm weird.
