80's music  

Wow. Those groups bring back memories.
I remember taking my girls to a styx concert when they were 19 and 11 years old. It was an outdoor concert at Riverfest, which is a family festival over Memorial Day weekend in Little Rock. There were thousands of pepole there and we were trying to get to my best friend and Kristen said Mom, we can't do that.
HA! I made them hang on to each side of my t-shirt and promise not to let go. By the time we were done, I had them 5 feet from the front of the stage!

I was the same way. When we watch something with alot of 80's music in it, my girls will laugh at me, because I can sit here and sing almost every song word per word even after 25 years! Quiet Riot, Cinderella, Journey, Foreigner...even the Country groups like Alabama and The Oak Ridge Boys all have special places in my heart.

I probably kind of cheated a little, since I am always listening to 80's music on Pandora Radio! The very first date that I went on when I was 16 years old was to Styx concert. The worst trouble I ever got into with my parents was sneaking to a Aerosmith Concert. I guess my entire teenage years were wrapped in and around music. LOL

My dad's baby sister is only 12 years older than me. So when I was a little girl, she was a teenager and would babysit me. I grew up on music from the 70's! Kansas, Boston, Elton John, The Bee Gees, Chicago, The Stones, The Jackson's, the Monkey's. Wow! Those were the groups! There is nothing like them today!

I agree, but that's not to say that the music isn't any good now, there are some.

My girls bought me an MP3 player before my recent trip to Atlanta for a conference. I filled it with the contemporary country music that I like from today, along with some of the more Tween music from The Disney Channel (I love Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers) and 80's love songs. My husband told me I was becoming more and more eclectic.
