Were you ever just listening to the radio and some old songs like REMs: Shiney Happy People’ comes on and all of a sudden all these memories come rushing back! Well, what songs make you think about childhood!
(bare in mind that I’m just 16)
Mine are:
REMs: Shiney Happy People
Catatonia: Moulder & Skully
The Cranberries: When You’re Gone
Sheryl Crow: All I Wanna Do, A Change Will Do You Good
Sinead O’Connor: Nothing Compares To You
The Rembrandts: I’ll Be There For You
Madonna: Holiday, Like A Virgin, Material Girl, True Blue, La Isla Bonita, Cherish
I know that some of the songs are almost-recent (The Rembrandts - 1995, Catatonia - 1997) but seeing as I was only 9, 11 (respectivly) when these sonsg were out I think they still count... for me anyway

Well, when I was a kid, I listened to Roxette and Ace of Base -already in 1994 I loved to listen to C!B!B! which is now my favourite album.. And when I was seven I loved to whistle that Joyride-tune. But a really Rox-fan I have been only 4 years now.
But the songlist:
AOB: Angel eyes (I still love this song!)
The Connels: 74’ 75’
...(can’t remeber who is singing it)..: Lemon tree
Some songs from New Kinds on the Block (can’t remember the names)
Madonna: Cherish, Material Girl, Like a Prayer
Take That: Babe and others
..and so on..

Most of these old songs are so damn good, that was the time of REAL music, nothing like these days, sadly...
xarrrr said on June 20, 2002 09:14:
i kinda like a LOT of Def Leppard, ALL Roxette stuff... uhm... R.E.M, and a LOT of older stuff, like Cat Stevens, Fleetwood Mac, Beegees, Phil Collins and loads more... oh and The Beatles too, they rock.
Stuff i like today though includes Wheatus, Creed, Nickelback, Train, Metallica and LOADS more! hehehe!
NOT to forget Roxette tho... they’re the BEST

@animalkingdom:
>U96-Love religion (where did this band go?)
Actually it was only one guy called Alex Christensen! He basically hired a different singer for every track...
He’s a pretty successful producer these days (e.g. Rollergirl, ATC - sidenote: some of their songs where written by people signed to Jimmy Fun Music/Tom Bone Music and therefore released on one of those labels!) and was one of the three persons in the jury of the second German edition of the TV-show “Popstars”. He just released a cover of “Rhythm of the night” which was a huge hit for Corona in 94. As far as I can remember, it’s the first time ever one of his songs is actually released under his name!
BTW, I met Alex back in may 97 - not that i wanted to meet him, but he happened to visit a radio station in Stuttgart the same day as Per, so I had no choice ;-)

It’s a bit harder for me to remember... but let’s see a couple of them:
Bon Jovi: Livin’ On A Prayer
Roxette: The Look
Guns N’ Roses: Sweet Child O’ Mine (and actually tons of other GNR songs)
Dr. Alban: Hello Africa (:-D)
Don’t really remember... I gotta look at my old cassette collection for the tapes I had back then.
