i'm talkin about the songs that u loved when u were a kid and still love 2 this day! albums u still dig are okay 2 add here as well...

...ready? and go.

80's Music is "Tha Bomb" 4 me

I grew up with different kind of music...80s music, Prince (of course) and heavy metal..

Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Prince, Violent Femmes, Aerosmith, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackson and Madonna.

A pretty eclectic mix, but these were the sounds of my childhood.

I still can't get any of them out of my head...

(spelling, schmelling...)

I have to agree with you there.. Anything 80's... Lots of Madonna, Prince, freestyle... Anything Aerosmith and Journey..

songs that I dug when I was a kid and secretly dig 2 this day? ...

Some Boy George lookalike ... "U spend me right 'round baby, right 'round ... like a record baby ... 'round 'round, 'round 'round" ... I know I'm so embarrassed ... NOT! PEACE

so many to pick from but songs like The Crusaders "Street Life" with Randi Crawford,Brothers Johnson "Stomp",earth,Wind&fire "Love's holiday",Gap Band "Lonely Like Me"Slave "waching You',Invisible Man Band"All Night Thing"and so many more still so good to Me to quote sammy sosa.

Artists I grew up with: My mother played all kinds (Sam Cooke, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Charlie Pride, Ray Charles, Janis Joplin, CCR, Tammy Wynette, Chopin) -- but in the early 80s I personally listened to lots of rock (Loverboy, Van Halen, Motley Crue, Quarterflash, Joan Jett, Divinyls, Queen), but mostly Billy Squier & Def Leppard until 1983 when I got hooked on Prince and the MPLS Sound. It's no wonder I liked Prince's music after growing up listening to a mixture of rock and rhythm-n-blues.

That's Dead or Alive... And don't be embarassed!! hee hee I love them too!

As for me? I still love everything I did as a kid, for the most part. It was all Prince, Madonna, Michael Jackson, the Cure, Love and Rockets, Depeche Mode... and so on...


Oops! Forgot a couple! Someone mentioned Buddy Holly. My dad was a big fan of him and also the Beatles. My dad plays the guitar and used to take it out occasionally when I was very young and my family would sit around singing Buddy Holly and early Beatles tunes all night. Still love them to this day!

It's spin, like spinning a record. And I like that song too! It's featured in the Wedding Singer, too.

Abba ARRIVAL. My first album - well, almost - and still my all time favourite. How cool is that? Does that not speak volumes about my social development? Dum Dum Diddle, my darling Fiddle... they were SWEDISH for god's sake - cut them some slack ya bastards

This explains a lot. I believe there are special psychotherapists who can help you... or you could attach electrodes to your genitals and give yourself an electric shock every time one of these 'bad thoughts' comes into your head. The second option is probably cheaper and more effective. Good luck with that

mj-bad
mj-black and white
maddy-oops. i didn't know we could talk about sex
spice girls-wannabe

mj still the best for me but he needs to change his vocal style so his songs can sell not only to the fan base but also to the main stream.

I lost my virginity while "The only way is up" by yazz was on the radio. Sticks in the mind forever!

there was no prince when i was growing up. i didn't know he existed until i saw vh1 pop-up videos and one interview he did for them. otherwise, it would be prince who? the one who can't make hits? the one whom the public forgot? the one whose only controversial act was him changing into some symbol and was named the artist known formely known as. the one whose fight against the record company got him blacked and the one it took him so hard and long to fight against. the one who dressed like a girl and made songs like :if i was your girlfriend, and dolphin, and yet ppl. cannot accept mj singing bad when he grew up poor.

I was weened on Herb Alpert's Rise. (Sure I was 12 at the time...)

subidubitch, there are so many exciting things to discover ignorant moron, we're talking about music here, don't you know The Red Hot Chili Pepper or Fatboy Slim or Luscious Jackson or Sting or David Byrne or...?
"the one who dressed like a girl and made songs like :if i was your girlfriend, and dolphin, and yet ppl. cannot accept mj singing bad when he grew up poor", won't you try to make sense for one time?So, at least, you admit to know shit about P's music
which people are you talking about? The stupids ones like you who maketodayscharts so insipids?
& Where did you see that P ever dressed like a girl?

I grew up with (was forced to listen to every day):

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Boy George - Carma Khameleon
Bob Dylan - Like a rolling stone
Don McLean - American Pie
David Bowie - Young Americans
And pretty much everything from the 80's/early 90's

These songs are like the soundtrack of my life

But, of course i ended up with Prince 8)

"Make It With You"--Bread
"Fire"--Ohio Players
"Alone Again(Naturally)"--WhoTheFuckRemembers
"Superstition"--Stevie Wonder
"Turn To Stone"--ELO
"I'm Your Boogie Man"--KC & The Sunshine Band
