Music From Your Teen Years

Hi Karen, This discussion brings me back to the 80's. Topping my list are all of Madonna's and Whithney Houston's songs (whatever happened to her now, Whitney Houston, I mean?). And there's Gloria Stefan and the Miami Sound Machine (Conga, I Don't Wanna Lose You), Heart (Alone and These Dreams - I love these songs so much), Journey(my most favorite - Separate Ways and Open Arms; they're back and their vocalist this time is a Filipino), Cyndy Lauper (I just loved her "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "True Colors", and her participation in "We Are The World" - USA for Africa project with Michael Jackson and other popular artists back then). And of course all of Michael Jackson's songs.

My teen years music? Hmmm, remember the infamous Milli Vanilli? Hahahaha, blame it on the rain ! Mariah Carey released a lot of new release. Michael Jackson. Basically it's the late 80's and beginning of 90's. And that song "The Final Countdown" I forgot the name of their Band. A lot of techno disco whatever is popular too.

My teen years were in the 90s so I remember a lot of Mariah Carey and Boys 2 Men. Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Cranberries, and alternative rock were big too. I remember when Lollapalooza traveled around more.

Hi there PeacefulWmn9, I am quite younger than you, so I was from the golden period of music. 70's and 80's. My favourite groups are many, but I will mention a few, BoneyM, ABBA, the Carpenters,MJ, Lionel Ritchie, Dianna Ross, and the wonderful singer, Stevie Wonder.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, AS I remember, 'Rock and Roll' and 'Beatles' were most common. It is better that we remmeber that golden era of our life. It always sends positive feelings and we become again fresh. May God bless You and have great time.

It was ABBA and Boney M for us. The world was in transition from Gramophone to cassette tape recorders and we would 'Steal' the cassette player to our room in the night to listen to the music. Music used to go full blast when parents were not around. King and Beatles were the Golden oldies to us, people to be appreciates, like old vine.

We have many of the same faves, Karen. ELVIS was my alltime fave, loved the motown bunch, conway twitty, bobby darin,supremes, 4tops & i could go on & on. Have always loved music,still listen to the radio most every day. Keep talking about such good music may have to get up & dance a little jig, lol.

I'm pretty young still, just 21, so my teen years were just a couple years ago. But, they were the Backstreet Boys, Nsync, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Spice Girls...all the pop stuff. I won't lie, I listened to all of them. However my favorite group to listen to at the time was Savage Garden. Everyone knows the songs "Truly Madly Deeply" and "I Knew I Loved You" but no one knows the group! Unfortunately, Savage Garden is no longer around but Darren Hayes went solo and I enjoy his music. Can't wait for his new CD!

When Prince comes on the radio I am just as receptive to hearing him as I was way back then, LOL!

Hi Peaceful, well the one I remember most from my teen years would have to be the first record I ever bought, and I still could sing along. Frankie Valli and the four seasons with 'December 63'. Remember that one? Most of the stuff played in the discoes then was the Motown stuff even though past the era as it was good dance music, I still love to have Motown on in the car whilst driving.

Hmm. when I was a teen, I remember Alanis Morissette was just getting some spotlight from her first album.. That was what I remember most.. cause that's when my love affair with her music started. Anyway, local music then was also emerging, specially the local bands.. they were really a lot of them who became popular and their songs nowadays are coined as classic filipino music...

I was actually a teenager in the eighties. So I listened to stuff by Duran Duran and Platinum Blonde, Loverboy and Bryan Adams. Yes I still enjoy listening to them today, I also like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Dear Karen, My teenage songs will be from Boney M and ABBA. I was overjoyed when the ABBA songs relive again because of the movie 'MAMA MIA' and the its musical theatre 'MAMA MIA' world wide tour. People are crazy again with ABBA songs. I can hear it on radio, night markets, CD shops, lounge, basically everywhere! It make me walk back 'Memory Lane' I also listen to 'Donny & Marie', Bonnie Tyler and Michael Jackson! All the best, do you reach your minimum payout for August?

I enjoy listening to some of the music I use to listen to back when I was about 15 year's old. Even now it's great to hear it.

The most popular music/songs from my teenage years was dance music. The most popular dance song from my teenage years was Madonna's INTO THE GROOVE. I still enjoy listening to it because of its catchy beat and it makes me want to get up and dance. It's also a song that puts me in such a good mood, particularly when I'm depressed or sad.

I was a teenage in the 90s and some of the biggest music artistes of the 90s are Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks, Spice Girls, Aerosmith, Boy II Men and many more... and during the late 90s, I love some of the country cross-over to pop artistes like Shania Twain, LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill and Martina McBride. I also love Mariah Carey's idea of mixing pop music with R&B and Hip-Hop when she released her album, 'Rainbow'.

Please overlook the dust and disarray.. ELVIS, BUDDY HOLLEY, THE BIG BOPPER, CHET ATKINS, JIM REEVES, ROY ORBISON, DYLAN, ARLO GUTHRIE, HENDRIX...WOODSTOCK...Lotsa folkie, rock, country, cross-overs, motown..Whew! (pant, pant, sneeze) ENJOY!

I am just comng out of my teen years lol. Frankly speaking i expected more from the music of my teen years than what it gave me, but to be honest there are a few bands i really enjoyed. I used to see rock songs starting to get more 'commercialized' a few years back, then alternative and punk took over. Hip hop has been on the rise since I can remember and almost everyone seems to like it here. Amidst all this, I found a few bands i really liked listening to. Portishead, Muse, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Smashing Pumpkins, Air, Coldplay, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Metallica, Opeth, RHCP, U2 are some bands/artists i really enjoy listening to, but being frank i can honestly say music from about a decade earlier than when my teens began was somewhat better.

i love evanescence, within temptation
