I was thinking about posting something like this. I luv the song "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen. My mom played that while I was in the womb & I came into the world liking that song! It was my lullaby lol my grandma would try to sing me rockabye baby & those old lullabys & I'd cry until my mom would play that song.

I've also been listening to "HYsteria" by Def Leopard. I luv that song.

These are just some of my favs...

"Round and Round" (Ratt)
"Turn Up the Radio"
"High Enough" (Damn Yankees)
"Stream of Youth" (Rush)
:guitar: :music:

[ABlairican Pie]

"Stream Of Youth" by Rush?? As I've been a Rush fan for 25 years
I've never heard of that one. Which album is that from?? I'm thinking of "Subdivisions", from the 1982 Signals album:

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
That the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

[ABlairican Pie]

Also, the band that did "Turn Up the Radio" in 1984 was Autograph.

[Czas na Zywiec]

I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but I just love Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. It just bring back so many great memmories of childhood. -sigh-
