Can you think of some good 'aahhhh!!!' I remember listening to that when I was young!!..some songs that really make you feel good from when you were like 8
I was just listening to the pandora, and it got all retro all of sudden-It was playing some classic songs I grew up with-and I was immediately taken back. It felt sooo good!
'let it rain' by eric clapton

Anything they played at United Skates of America between 1982+1989... Gloria, TakeOnMe, Hey Mickey, WhipIt, Land Down Under, Kiss Me Deadly, Celebration, Hungry Like the Wolves, 99 Luftballoons... this is a pretty long list actually... but whenever I hear something I heard at the roller rink back in the day, I tend get all warm and mushy inside
(...and the roller rink is also where I really discovered girls )

My brother use to play Ziggy Stardust when he baby sat me. I loved the whole spiders thing. Fast forward about 7-8 years old and any number of songs I used to break dance to bring me back.
When I was "like 8" I was mostly exposed to what was on MTV and/or what my parents listened to. When I was 8 my parents were 26 and 28, though...
I remember one instance from around that age, finding one of my mom's cassettes. It was Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In. My brother and I got into a discussion over whether or not the people on the album cover were boys or girls, and had to have Mom tell us which it was. I thought they were totally girls, but I was wrong.
I also remember being quite fond of George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" and Paul Simon's "Call Me Al" around age eight.
I remember my dad and I always blasting riders on the storm every time we were in the car and I def used to get down hard to Arrested Development back in the day.
First of all, loved loved loved Poison and Cinderalla growing up. Saw Cinderella with Winger and the Bulletboys in high school but have yet to catch Poison. Hopefully soon. I might finally catch Def Leppard this summer, too.
My strongest memory from rollerskating was "Everybody Wants You" by Billy Squire.
Growing up I used to hold my cassette recorder up to my radio and record music to listen to later. (Men At Work -- "Down Under", Madness -- "Our House (In The Middle Of Our Street)", J Geils Band -- "Freeze Frame", etc.)
I recently was able to get "Believe It Or Not" by Joey Scarbury on my Slacker station. (You know, the theme from "Greatest American Hero"!!!) It makes me very happy.

Yeah-was all about some Billy Squire and Def Leppard for awhile. HA!! A friend of mine was singing that Gr. Am. Hero song the other day when we were remembering old TV shows and their theme songs....Taxi and Sanford and Son....Thats some good poopy-doop.
Speaking of TV show themes, they'd better not try to update the 90210 theme song on the new version. I'd rather they just went with a brand new song if they don't like the old one!!!

damn we had a bunch of good stuff kicking at roller express and funtime skateland down here in jackson they were playing gap band,parliment,earth wind and fire and other funk stuff along with 80s pop crap...and the big song for a long time was styxx renegade
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

Just remembered the very first song I was ever obsessed with...
"Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots" by the Cheers
...had it on 45, it had a purple label, I was like 5 or 6 probably... played the heck out of that record for years, right along side my Sesame Street and Muppets albums...
"He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back He had a hopped-up 'cycle that took off like a gun That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair He had axle grease embedded underneath his fingernails On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo A picture of a heart saying "Mother, I love you"
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou But he treated her just like he treated all the rest And everybody pitied her 'cause everybody knew He loved that doggone motorcycle best
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back He had a hopped-up 'cycle that took off like a gun That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave She said "I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve" But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost In the rumble of his engine and the smoke from his exhaust
Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes He said "I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise" But he hit a screamin' diesel that was California-bound And when they cleared the wreckage, all they found
Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back But they couldn't find the 'cycle that took off like a gun And they never found the terror of Highway 101"
i got a hot rod ford and a two dollar bill. hey i know a spot right over the hill. where there's sodi-pop and the dancin' is free. so if you wanna have fun come along with me...
Please forgive the heinous length of the following post, but here's a condensed history of my musical tastes, explaining how I got from NWA to Coldplay in just three steps.
Pre age 7 - Raffi, The Muppets, etc.
Ages 7-8 - Early Beatles (thanks Mom), Harry Connick Jr. (don't smite), plus a few songs here and there, like "Can't Get No Satisfaction" or "Stairway to Heaven", as well as some classical music, like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc.
Age 9 - Really bad, poppy, top-40 crapola. I don't even remember the names of 95% of those bands now. Also, I started listening to the oldies station quite a fair bit, and got my first taste of bands and singers like CCR, Joni Mitchell, The Kinks, Eric Clapton, Elvis Presley, The Eagles, etc.
Age 10-11 - Green Day, The Offspring, Bob Dylan (thanks Dad), REM, The Beastie Boys, Don McLean (I must have listened to "American Pie" a good 500 times in the course of a year)
Ages 12-13 - Silverchair, Moby, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beach Boys, Blur, Fatboy Slim, Nirvana, Basement Jaxx
Ages 14-15 - Rap, pop-punk, techno... in particular Eminem, Dr. Dre, Public Enemy, NWA, Blink 182, happy hardcore DJs, Paul Oakenfold, The Strokes, The Vines, Gorillaz, Weezer, Tenacious D, Jack Johnson, The White Stripes, Queen, Daft Punk, Coldplay, No Doubt, Sigur Ros, Linkin Park, Sublime, DMB, etc.
Ages 16-17 - I got waaay more into The White Stripes after they released Elephant. I also got really into Radiohead when Hail to the Thief came out. This was also the year I discovered The Who, when my parents played the rock opera Tommy in its entirety on the car ride to New York (thanks Mom and Dad). The next year (2004), I discovered two of my current favorite bands – Franz Ferdinand and Cut Copy. I also started listening to Johnny Cash, Modest Mouse, The Pixies, The Doors, My Morning Jacket, Bob Marley, Jet, Sunny Day Real Estate, Coheed and Cambria, The Dandy Warhols, and some others as well.
Age 18 - Another major turning point for me, taste-wise. For my high school graduation gift, my parents got me an iPod mini, my first music player that wasn’t a discman or tape player. My eldest brother took the liberty of bringing my iPod to his apartment and loading about 200 of his songs on it for me. This is how I discovered the joy of punk, post-punk, and 90s rock. Sex Pistols, Joy Division, The Clash, The Ramones, The Pixies, The Smiths, Yo La Tengo, Minor Threat, AC/DC, Garbage, etc.
Age 19 – Death Cab for Cutie, TV on the Radio, Minus the Bear, Gnarls Barkley, The Presets, Blondie, Tears for Fears, Porcupine Tree, Interpol, The Constantines, Pink Floyd, Kanye West, The Walkmen, Fugazi, Muse, Wilco, Tom Waits, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, LCD Soundsystem, and so on and so forth
Age 20 – Television, The Kills, Deep Purple, Sonic Youth, Gogol Bordello, King Crimson, MIA, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Air, Arcade Fire, etc.
Age 21 – All of the above, plus many more new bands I keep on discovering all the time.
;D
