[beefy]

Ok to play this one you have to admit your age. I want your favourite song from the year you were born ,the year you turned 13,18,21 ,30,40,etc to you reach your age.
Heres mine -
Born 1970 -Sympathy for the Devil -Rolling Stones
Age 13-1983-White Wedding- Billy Idol
Age 18 -1988-Lay Your Hands on Me - Bon Jovi
Age 21- 1991-Gypsy Woman(La da dee la da da )- Crystal Waters
Age 30- 2000-Gas Panic - Oasis.


Its easier if you have your songs in Windows Media Player11 -you just click music,library, year .

Two Sheds I think that that time (1986 - 1992) were some of the best years for music.But then I suppose everyone says that about the years that were relavant to them.Just look at the link you gave - so many classics all from the one year -how do you choose?

Strewth! I don't think they had songs in my day! (1949!) I'm old enough to be your Ma, you kids!

and I could be your dad !!! 1957 was crap dor songs having said that I have a good collection of old Blues records (er I mean cd's) now from the 20 & 30's

[Two_Sheds]

age 13 - 1982 -Tainted Love - Soft Cell
age 18 - 1987 -You keep me hangin' on -Kim Wilde

Funny how songs bring back memory flashes: Tainted Love, I heard on a beach in Devon (age 12?) thought it was AMAZING! Only just found out it was a cover.
Kim Wilde, great song...now a gardener of course. My "friend" refused to listen to Kim Wilde with me because her lovely boyfriend had a crush. (She went off with his best friend, cow)

From the list given by Two Sheds mine would have to be...........
born 1967 - A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum
age 13 - 1980 - Cars - Gary Numan
age 18 - 1985 - Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds
age 21 - 1988 - Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
age 30 - 1997 - Barbie Girl - Aqua

But I'm sure there are others from those years not on the top 100 that I'd know and choose, just havent got the time or patience to start searching! lol!

See what I mean - it wasn't a vintage year was it? Except for me, of course! A You're Adorable always makes me think of the Morcambe & Wise sketch with The Newsreader lassie doing the high kicks!
