I was just listening to the radio and UB40 - Red Red Wine came on. It got me thinking about all the cheesy music that I'll always love cause it was playing when I was young. What music formed the soundtrack to your formative years?

i'm only just getting into good music, and when i was younger, i never really listened to music...like i never owned CD's or my siblings never owned CD's. we weren't a very musical family.

one thing was, we watched this show called RAGE on sunday mornings. it goes from like 12pm to the morning at like 11.30am. we'd watch it from about 8am or something. i always loved this meat loaf film clip ...i can't remember what it's called, it went "i would do anything for love, but i don't do that"...

anyway, yea.

I used to listen to "Classic Rock" when I was a youngen but I can't really remember what songs they were. Early to late 80's rock like the Hoodoo Gurus and The Police etc. It doesn't really bring back memories of my childhood though.

Guns`n Roses, Alice in Chains; liked the rock and grunge on MTV.
I only bought those rave party cds though

Ooh, I have so many cheesy songs that I like just because it brings back memories! Too many to rememer them all, but I can mention a few:

- Paul Young (the first ch I ever bought, when I was 8! )
- Lionel Ritchie - Say You, Say Me!!
- Joshua Kadison - Jessie
- Cat Stevens - Wild World
- Guns 'N' Roses - November Rain and Don't Cry
- Inner Circle - Sweat
- UB40 - Red Red Wine

Hmm...I so many more, but I can't remember!

Wow, just the same with me!
I used to listen to old records from my father. David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Lou reed, Cat stevens, Tina Turner...

I had loads of classic rock because of my parents, but this is more the first music that I found on my own.

Beach Boys - Kokomo
Guns n Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine
A-Ha - Take On Me
Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy (the first song i ever knew all the words to)
RHCP - Soul To Squeeze
Proclaimers - I'll Be (500 Miles)

huh, world was small before, too...

i was eleven and got my "keep the faith" (BJ) album
and my life was recreated...

well when i was grade school age(6-10) the only music i really heard was what my mother listened to in the car. For some reason she had it on the Adult Top40 station. This is in the mid-late eighties, so this wasn't exactly great music.

I can't recall all the artists. but there are alot of crappy 80's songs that i pratically have memorized thanks to that.

in the older days, without CD and MP3 was much more fun. i started off with cheap cassettes, then replaced them with good chrome tapes, then vinyls, then now cds. i'd always go round record shops all over town to find obscure items. now everything's available on cd and mp3, not dat fun anymore.

i grew up in the 70s/80s with my dad's music, a lotta instrumental stuff by the likes of paul mauriat, james last and the whole bunch of 70s music. but it was really the 80s that caught me on. remember the new wave movement ? duran duran, spandau ballet, frankie, style council, u2 (mostly brits). though those are not the best music ever made, but it really brings back good and bad ol memories. the best music were still in the late 60s, when bubblegum pop and soppy love songs transcended into rock and psychedelia. it was the most inventive period, among them beatles, pink floyd
