It seems I hit the wall about 1991. Anyone else remember the lyrics to Country Joe and the Fish "Janis," The Box Top's "Letter," Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco," The Troggs' "Love Is All Around" ...? No? Sigh, where DID i put that Geritol ... ACK! It seems I hit the wall about 1991.

(-_-)-p (just in case anyone doesn't keep up with smilies, that's a kirby-ish face giving a thumbs down. If you don't know kirby... google. I don't mean the vaccuum.)

You see, i may be 17, but i've never fit in with any teen stereotypes and absolutely loath most rap and rock made today.... scratch that, most rock and ALL rap - but anyways, I was reasurred when the 2008 single, Leavin' was, while extremely simplistic underneath the vocals and required little to no musical skill to play anything that was remotely instrumental, it was much better than I was expecting. I'm more familiar with classical pieces than I am with pop hits, but I seem to know the most from the 80s... XD Probably my parents' fault. I absolutely love bands like Rush and Police. Every Breath You Take is one of my favorite pieces by them, though I think King of Pain is better.... Imma stop ranting now. I could go on for pages if I let myself. ^_^ Oddly enough I think the most interesting thing about this list was looking up the 2008 hit on youtube and seeing what’s really popular today.

We are 5 1/2 years apart in age but we both got old in 1986... the year our first child was born. My wife and I both took this quiz.

I don't know some of the songs from around 2000, but I do know the newer ones. Maybe I got old and started going younger. Seems that the genre changes in the mid nineties.
