I graduated HS in 1984 also and this really brought back memories. Some of them are such favorites, I have them (Major Tom) on my Ipod right now:)Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236441806234261588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-68761421218468900992007-09-06T18:18:00.000-04:002007-09-06T18:18:00.000-04:00Thanks for the recommendation; and years ago I saw...Thanks for the recommendation; and years ago I saw Luka Bloom (Christy's brother) in concert in Philadelphia.

I'm surprised at how many of the videos I do remember... but then, MTV played vidoes back then. M did stand for music.<BR/><BR/>While I can't pretend to "know" music, I can say that as I got older my tastes moved away from top 40.<BR/><BR/>Music phases since then? Hm, there was grunge (god, I loved Nirvana), Indigo Girls, the Pogues (still one of my favorite bands), Irish music (Chieftans and the like).<BR/><BR/>Sadly, a lot of music I like now is music I first hear on a TV show or movie and I go, hey, what's that song?Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-64324166033196600542007-09-06T17:44:00.000-04:002007-09-06T17:44:00.000-04:00I too am a 1984 grad but my favs don't show up on ...I too am a 1984 grad but my favs don't show up on most lists. Metallica's Ride the Lightning album came out that year and changed hard rock music forever.<BR/><BR/>During 1984, I walked into a music story in Chicago and heard an EP by a band called Queensryche -- they soon became one of my favorite bands of all time. They are kind of heavy metal version of The Who.<BR/><BR/>I was very much into Dokken back then and they released an album called Tooth and Nail that year.<BR/><BR/>Bon Jovi also came on the music scene that year with his first album and a song called Runaway.<BR/><BR/>And, back then I was still listening to Triumph on a regular basis. They released an album entitled Thunder Seven that year.<BR/><BR/>I now spend my time listening to Irish folk music and bands like Iron & Wine but in those days I was essentially a heavy metal guy.Mike Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884530459318356746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-3198173348937517662007-09-05T21:25:00.000-04:002007-09-05T21:25:00.000-04:00Too... many... horrifying... fashion memories.

Actually, forget not remembering the songs, I haven't even heard of a good third of those people/bands. I think I know more songs from 1984 than 1998. And a lot of those songs are better, too. *sob* I mean, "When Doves Cry"? Total classic! The #1 song for my year is "Too Close" by Next. I don't remember that at all.
