That is about all I can think of right now. The asterisk means these are CDs you might find me listening to if you came to my house now. My musical taste has not changed over the years except that now I will have worship music on perhaps fifty percent of the time.

boy, that brings back memories! Ha ha, I liked him to, I am so embarrassed. I guess I did like the beatles, if you count that as a 'boy band'. The beatles were awesome...I'm showing my age...I will always likt the beatles.

Pink Floyd will never die! shine on you crazy diamond!

I listen to... just about everything (except rap.) im even embarissed to say that im starting to like a FEW country songs...

Mostly I listen to SKA, punk, rock, heavy metal, industrial, techno, emo, jazz, swing, bosa nova, and a little classical. I like just about anything except pop, hip-hop, and rap.

as for bands, there are too many to list, so i wont even try.

I'm starting to listen to country, too. But I prefer the Alternative stuff. I wonder if there are songs just about trucking and driving down lonesome highways. I used to love listening to Convoy.

A song I listened to plenty of times as a kid was . . .

The
Popcorn Song

Large Selection of Popcorn Songs

It really helped define a nation, its dreams and aspirations. The precursor to many genres - like, in my opinion, Industrial and Techno - the Popcorn Song sparked an enormous amount of excitement in its time.

When I was a kid:
Krisskross
New Kids on the Block
Bryan Adams
Vanilla Ice
REM

Teenager:
Rage against the machine
Silverchair
I Mother Earth
Ou Lady Peace
The Tea Party
The tragically hip
Moist
Metiallica
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mighty Mighty Bosstones
The Pietasters
Nirvana
Soundgarden
REM
Cherry Poppin' Daddies
The Sex Pistols, The Cure, The Clash
Violent Femmes
Weezer
Glueleg
The Headstones
The Smashing Pumpkins
The Prodigy
Blur
Pulp
and the list goes on and on,
now in my 20's a lot of that is different, but I won't go into that here.

Mmm.... I don't quite remember what I used to listen when I'm a kid.... but I could remember a few.... :

The Beatles (my mom's fave)
Bananarama
Belinda Carlisle
REM
New Kids On The Block

I guess that's all.....

New Kids On The Block!!!
I thought I was the only one!

Let's see...thinking back...

Madonna
INXS
Randy Travis

Ummm......

I'm really no good at recalling things.......

hehe...my sisters loved new kids on the block

I was crazy....so all my classmates informed me.
I collected their trading cards and biography books, tons of stuff...then I grew out of them and tossed it all. Wish I still had all that, would probably be worth a little something!

it might be...im not sure what happened to any of their stuff either...probably got thrown away...oh well

i was at a toy show today....i saw starwars figures i had from just a few years ago NOT in the package and including nothing but the figure selling for $45

WOW! sucks don't it?!

I see so many things on ebay that I had as a child selling HIGH and I think, man; what did I do with it?!!!

yeah, i know what you mean...even the new versions of the old ones are expensive...cause they are all collectors things now.....i saw a new optimus prime for like $53

Men without Hats!!

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to, a place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

We can go when we want to, the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude or totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

Say we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody taken the chance

The safety dance
The safety dance
The safety dance

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it we are never going to lose it
And everything will work out right

Say, we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
well they're no friend of mine

i LOVE the echoing greens version of that song
