30 Songs From Your Childhood Meme
I got tagged by Yonghwa on twitter for this. Should be interesting since I grew up on a lot of my parent's music. They'll be a lot of 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music in this list, most likely. So, in no particular order:
1. Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson - Say Say Say
** My first words were singing along to this song. So it's been a song that gets played over and over for nostalgia.
2. The Irish Rovers - The Unicorn Song
** I was freeking obsessed with this song when I was little. My dad used to play it on guitar and I would just sing and sing and sing. OTL
3. New Kids On The Block - You Got It (The Right Stuff)
** First concert I ever went to. I was 6. lol.
4. Mötley Crüe - Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)
5. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
6. The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
7. Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle - A Whole New World
8. Michael Jackson - Thriller
** This music video terrified my so badly as a kid particularly the scenes not set to music (Michael turning into the werewolf and the zombies breaking into the house), but probably instigated by love for zombies and werewolves in hindsight. X"D
9. Stevie Wonder - Superstition
10. Berlin - The Metro
11. Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf
12. Marvin Gaye - Heard It Through The Grapevine
13. The Rolling Stones - Get Off of My Cloud
14. Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love
15. Billy Idol - White Wedding
16. Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
17. Guns'n'Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
18. Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
19. Metallica - One
20. The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
** You can blame my love for the movie Benny & Joon for this. lol
21. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
22. Bobby Brown - My Prerogative
23. The Offspring - Self Esteem
** This album was the first CD I ever bought. Of course, I had a nice cassette tape collection going before that.
24. Korn - Shoots and Ladders
25. Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting
26. Skid Row - 18 and Life
27. Aerosmith - Janie's Got a Gun
28. Prince - When Doves Cry
** Tried to find it on YT. Got Rick Rolled. :( I think pretty much everyone knows this song anyway so yeah.
29. Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive
30. Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
I tried to be as true as I could to the songs I played over and over again as a child. I literally tried to stick to everything 1995 and earlier since that puts me at 13 years old. I thought maybe I should have stayed at 10 and under but for some reason I just couldn't handle Korn not having a spot on this list. Probably because I associate them so much with my best childhood friend. So anyway, there they are. This was surprisingly hard, not just to know what age to stop at, but really just to narrow down my whole childhood to just 30 songs because I could have kept going easily to 100. lol. But I guess that's what makes this a challenge. X"D
