I was a teenager in the 80's and that's when I started listening to my own music...A few of the groups and the songs I liked were...
Air Supply...All Out of Love, Here I Am, Making Love Out Of Nothing At All,
REO Speedwagon...I Can't Fight This Feeling,
STYX...Lady,
Rick Springfield...Jessie's Girl,
Journey...Don't Stop Believing, Faithfully, Open Arms,
Night Ranger...Sister Christian,
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts...I Love Rock and Roll, Crimson and Clover
We were on youtube today looking up music and TV shows from when we were young and it brought back some great memories.
I liked and still like a lot of older music too.

I know what you mean, my list could have gone on forever too. That's funny that you mentioned The Bay City Rollers, they were my sister and her friends favorite, I believe my sister was going to marry Woody. There was yellow plaid all over her room. Thanks for sharing the memories.

I loved and still do the 60's music, Beatles, Elvis to start with but non better than the then new music from Melbourne Australia, I loved the Melbourne music I guess because the artists were here and I could go along and see them at their concerts so I guess you could say I was brainwashed with good old Aussie Rock and Roll.

There's nothing wrong with Aussie rock and roll, I absolutely LOVE Keith Urban, who is Australian himself. I guess I should check out other Australian music too.

I was a teenager in the early seventies. Don't laugh at what I used to listen to. It was Donny Osmond, Gospel Songs, the Sound of Music (sometimes), & then I graduated to heavier stuff, that I can't remember the name of.

I could go all the way back to the 50s, gapeach, but music really became most important to me during the60s. I was young and there were many great R&B and Soul musicians in that era: The Four Tops, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, James Brown, etc. That is my favorite era, but I also loved the music of The Beatles, The Who , Herman's Hermits, the whole British Invasion. I feel lucky because I have favorites from all these eras up to the present day.

Hi there. I grew up around my older brothers and his friends and all our cousins, which was back in the 90's, the mixture of music back then was "Bob Marley and Metal", I had one brother that thrased Reggae and another that thrased metal... So I got influenced by both... Our parents were into 60's and oldies, and everything in between I suppose... We all have a wide range of music when it comes to listening...

I also grew up in the 80s but had an older brother who was mostly a 70s child. So I had a lot of 70s influence like Led Zeppelin, Styx, Journey and the late 70s bands. But growing up in the 80s that music heavily influenced me. I loved the hair bands like Def Leppard, Poison, Motley Crue but I also liked the more new wave bands like Duran Duran.
