I don't remember a lot of these songs?
Since we are on a Seattle forum, I would like to take a moment to thank the Seattle bands of the early 90s that pretty much ended any type of music that was 'pop' in 1988. lol! Sad for hairspray companies as they took a beating after 1990.
Only two really big faves.....95. Never Tear Us Apart, INXS and 5. Sweet Child-o mine...Guns and Roses.
Oh! I like that Desire song by U2. I just noticed that one.
hmm new albums for inxs and george michael must of been out this year.
tracy chapman's song "fast car" is a good one. It still gets played a lot today on college radio, since its really a song meant for todays college scene more so then as Van said about grunge.
So many cheezy memories!
Almost makes me want to put on my leggings, tease my hair up really big and go back to Jr High...
We sang "This song only has 6 words" over and over again to the chorus of Got My Mind Set On You.
listen for yourself!

Don't forget to pull your tattered sweatshirt off one shoulder, Lil Me.
(wait....was that the 80 's?)
40. She's Like The Wind, Patric Swayze
I can't believe he actually sang that song. Not a bad one too.
Oh yes, that song about Patrick Swayze's "tree".
[font style="font-style: italic;" face="Verdana" size="5"][font face="Verdana" size="2"] She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done
[/font][/font][font face="Verdana" size="5"][font face="Verdana" size="2"]Thought that Dirty Dancing and Cocktail were the BEST MOVIES EVER back in the day.
*sighs* [/font][/font][font style="font-style: italic;" face="Verdana" size="5"][font face="Verdana" size="2"]

Agreed. He was so hawt back then. *girly giggle* Loved him in Ghost. I don't think I cried so hard at a sappy movie before.

Thank God my college scene is over if what you say is true! Lol!
Then again, you say a lot of things that don't make sense.
Hey! I know a lot of the songs from the list. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/3.gif)
ah! sports, now I know the song you are talking about. I was thinking Black Cars are better in the shade?? or something. Fast Car is a mellow song that paved the way for a lot of singer/songwriters of the 90s. Almost didn't fit that era of 1988 compared to the White Lions of the list.
My confusion.
I was more poking at the hairspray rock of the 80s. The Poisons, Ratt, Motley Crues, etc. Grunge (I hate using that word), was refreshing! I am not a big fan of glam rock. But there is some good other music for sure from that era.
me neither I hate glam rock.

I feel its a depressing song. lol
Yeah you don't have to believe but most of the up and comers nowadays go the reflective accoustic route with lyrical base music. story telling.
that style is pretty big but after a while I find it depressing so I switch to brit pop. lol
Love Tracy Chapman. Big voice, amazing songwriter.
I work out to arena rock. It's awesome! Gets you in the Zone.
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. Ive seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
Youve got to roll with the punches to get to whats real
Oh cant you see me standing here,
Ive got my back against the record machine
I aint the worst that youve seen.
Oh cant you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. jump !

Your love is like bad madicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad madicine
There aint no doctor that can
Cure my disease
sports, I am sure you are right. I will be the first to agree I am out of touch with what youngsters are into...*rattles cane at screen*.
I like my age group and the music I grew up with. Starting to really like some of the new bands within the last couple years though. The early 2000s were..lost in a boardroom?? not sure.

First song is Jump by Van Halen. Second song is Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi.
Eddie Van Halen is a fab guitarist!

couldn't agree more.
real music now is now hip finally. Pop seems to be going techno-ish 80s new wave which is fine by me since I like that stuff. lol
hard rock is still lost, will it be found? I have no idea. Nobody's really interested in heavy metal/hard rock. Only band that comes to mind would be Muse, but then I can't really classify them as hard rock/heavy metal. They fooled around with synths and computers in their last album, which I liked.
the new wave of actual music isn't coming from the states, the bands from the states end up getting big in Europe first. European are the ones pushing us into the 21st century of sound in my opinion. Although Canada is still number 1 in terms of music influence these days. A lot of bands are copying that "canadian sound".
