I don't know if I can think of 5. My father was very controlling, and we rarely listened to music of our own. Most of what I was allowed to listen to was his stuff.

Lessee...*puts on thinking cap*

That failed. *has a drink*

OK, that's better....

In no particular order and listing them doesn't mean I liked them. Just reminds me of my teens:

1. Electric Youth, by Debbie Gibson....I liked it when I was 13 or 14...*gag*

2. Any stupid song by New Kids on the Block, which I also liked at 13 or 14...*rolls eyes*

3. Songs by Rick Astley, which aren't really that bad. Not great, but not as bad as the above.

4. Losing My Religion, REM....I thought it was a really bad song, coz 'we shouldn't lose our religion as JWs'...*can't roll my eyes enough* I love this song now.

5. The whole Milli Vanilli saga. I thought they were great, and then the lip-synching thing came out. When I watched a show about it a few years later, I couldn't believe I actually liked that weak stuff.

Music was my whole world as a teen. Songs were the best form of escape especially when you couldn't go anywhere.

So so so many songs take me back but I just took my meds so the one song that comes to mind right this minute is

"cause I get a peeeeacefuuuul easy feelin'

................................and I know you won't let me down

Cause I'm already standin' ....

...................on the ground"....doodododooododoo....ooohHoohoohoooo...

This song played often when I was a teen. Barry Manilow
I Write The SongsI've been alive forever,
and I wrote the very first song.
I put the words and the melodies together,
I am music,
and I write the songs.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special thing s.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
My home lies deep within you,
and I've got my own place in your sole.
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm you'g again, even though I'm very old.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special things.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
Oh my music makes you dance
and gives your spiri t to take a chance,
and I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move.
Music fills your heart,
well, that's a real fine place to start.
It's from me it's for you,
it's from you, it's from me,
it's a world wide symphony.
I write the song s that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special things.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
