What Did Music Sound Like When You Were A Teenager?

[Tom]

Who alive in 1962 can't remember the first music from the British Invasion. Walking down the street agir i knew breathlessly flaed me dow to come in and listen to Telstar from The Tornados.

Telstar reminded me of this, but it was a bit before my time. I still like the multi-guitar lineup though. One of those bands that was a casualty of the Vietnam war when two members either volunteered or were drafted.

And who can forget Dick Dale and the Del Tones.

It seems a couple of you are talking about that Romanian hit "Numa Numa".

But when I think of that song, my mind goes straight to this video:

And.. it's sequel:

I have to admit I'm a sucker for Surf Trash. The 'A Swing'in Affair' title is so 60's.

The first was pretty funny, and made Gary Brolsma a brief internet celebrity. I remember my daughter telling me she knew someone online who knew someone who went to school with him... But after the sequel internet chatter sort of turned against him as a Sell Out. Live by the Meme die by the Meme I guess.

Yep. Tragic that Jan Berry certainly gave meaning to "Dead Man's Curve".

Hitting a parked car at 80 mph in his Vette ended his career. Having never been drafted into the war.

When I was a teenager? That would be almost anything from the very late 90s to the lower half of the 2000s.

I know the subject is about music as a teenager, but I grew up listening to a lot of 90s hits as a kiddo so those still stick out, and I have an appetite for music well before that era as well. I also remember the early days of Youtube as well (see: Numa-Numa above my post), where in theory anyone could be a superstar, but those were my 20-something years.

I don't know if it was the point of the thread, but all in all those were the "good times" of music for me.

She was huge in the 80s and the 90s and I was and still am a big fan. Ladies and gentlemen, Annie Lennox.

1993 was the greatest year in music history. I said what I said.

I missed most of the Grunge era. Only found some songs I liked much later. This was one.

More Pop. Pop never dies, even if it should. But it turns out a good tune now and then.
