THIS ONE I COMPLETELY MISSED THAT YEAR.

Novemeber, where are you from?

CinisterCee said:

That's my fuckin' song!

Put me to the test yes I will get ill!

CinisterCee said:

I missed out on them too until ATLiens.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Oh hell yeah. I don't care about sales, but she was huge in Japan apparantly. U laugh, but her last 2 albums are great and better then anything Madonna did at that time.

Anyway, "she ain't worth it" is one of the best Bobby related songs.

Atlanta

Hmm...what was I playing in 8th grade?

November said:

GangstaFam said:

Same.

Obviously, I was listening to lots of Junior High Bitches.

GangstaFam said:

Did you buy cassettes?

GangstaFam said:

That's my 11th and 12th grade music I posted a couple of those a while back in a senior year thread.

CinisterCee said:

Yeah. But by 8th grade I had mostly switched over to CD's. I got my very first player for Christmas '89 during my 8th grade year.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I missed that one. Where is that?

GangstaFam said:

I dunno. It was well over a year ago if I'm not mistaken. Or maybe I thought about doing it? I'm pretty sure there was a thread by that name though.

GangstaFam said:

Good list. Nineh cherry was big in the US? Thats cool to know. Aerosmith though? "jamie got a gun" and all that.

Neneh had a few hits here, but she was never as popular as she should have been. Both the albums that were released here were superb (as was Man).

RipHer2Shreds said:

I got her debut (i assume its her debut) recently, after seeing a few of her videos on vh1. "man child" has a trippy cheap ass video. I love it. Nenah seems real. Not fussed with image etc...

Some of this stuff was the summer immediately following 8th grade. I remember it well...

thesexofit said:

They're a bit of a guilty pleasure I know, but I grew up on Aerosmith and still love 'em, despite how cool it is to hate them.

thesexofit said:

"Buffalo Stance" and "Expression" by Salt N Pepa were the first songs I learned to rap all the way through.

Heyyy! Class of '88 in the house!

1984 was all about Purple Rain

When I was in the eighth grade I played:

Prince-1999
Coolio-Fantastic Voyage
Warren G-Regulate
Total-Can't You See
Brandy-I wanna be Down

Bonus: Zhane-Vibe


Good topic and it bring back memories of 1994-95.I hope there would be similar topics of these in the future.

You and I are the same age Cee and we could related to some of the music!!

In my Hall of Fame. One of the greatest hip-hop albums ever, IMHO.

Y'all really want to make me date myself, huh?

1. Synchronicity -- The Police
2. A.J. Scratch/8 Million Stories -- Kurtis Blow
3. "Lady Cab Driver" -- Prince

And whatever was on the radio at the time.

ladygirl99 said:

Good pick! I forgot all about her debut.

GangstaFam said:

At around 7/8 years old, this was my first rock album I think LOL. I now love this soft rock/AOR, but for many years, this was considered crap by me (ages 10-16). I don't love the album, but Robert "mutt" lange knows how to produce a slick, HUGE sounding record.

namepeace said:

I had this at one point and sold it. I need it back.

November said:

Oh yeah I was all about that CD.. her debut single "I Wanna Be Down" right through to "Baby" the next year.

CinisterCee said:

The remix with Lyte, Latifah and Yo-Yo

SWEET "FOX ON THE RUN"
GARY WRIGHT "DREAM WEAVER"
PETER FRAMPTON "ALL I WANT TO BE (IS BY YOUR SIDE)
THIN LIZZY "BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN"
AEROSMITH "LAST CHILD"
