Songs from thy youth

[kilmie polanski]

Two disturbing songs from my childhood I just remembered are "Toxic Love" by Tim Curry and "I'm gonna eat somebody" by Tone Loc.

Fuckity fuck fuck ferngully

[Zero Signal]

I never heard that Tone-Loc song, just the other two big hits he had.

I remember turning somersaults on the lawn to Madonna's Immaculate Collection album.

When I was a kid I mostly listiened to shit my sister listiened to :P. Good shit though :(

My sister and I listened to cassettes from the TV show Jem. They weren't bad. We also liked the Monkees.

I listened to the Beatles religiously in elementary school. All other bands sucked until Grade 7.

Weird Al and The Monkees were two of my biggest bands when I was a kid. Plus, The Monkees had their own TV show re-runs on Nickelodeon which was a nice bonus.

And then there was Billy Joel. I probably listened to Billy Joel more than anything. He went to the same high school as my parents 'n shit and they had always liked his music so they got me into it at a very young age. I've always liked his music and I still listen to it today.

I recently bought this 4-CD box set (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005NNM8/qid=1054646072/imockery), and it's really amazing just how many well written, and extremely catchy hits he had. Damned good set...

Born in USA! Born in USA!

ah, still listens to Springteen to this day.

I also grew up with Weird Al and umm, oh, god, I'm so ashmed to say this but I was into Micahel Jackson, as well. sighs.

My first tape (set) was "The Beatles Vol I & II". I bought it @ 10 years old and listened to it until I broke the ribbons sometime around high school. Now, I'm so burned out on them that I'll generally switch radio stations if they're on unless I'm really in the mood.

Same here with Weird Al. My bologna :rock! I use to play that song all the time :(

I think I lucked out as a kid. My uncle used to play AC/DC and the Misfits for me all the time when I was 6, so I kinda skipped over the whole "I can't believe I used to listen to that garbage" phase of my youth. :rock
