When I was growing up

Pretty good mix of old school songs there....

I never cared too much for PM Dawn, but they sounded alright. Listening to it tonight, they sounded better than I remembered.

The Guns N Roses song is one of my least favorite hits they had. It's just too slow, melodic and drawn out for me. It sounds like they wanted to be taken more seriously instead of just being the rock powerhouse they were. It's a good song, it's just something I don't want to hear much.

I remember thinking Parent's just don't Understand was cool and liking it a lot when it came out, but listening to it tonight made me think it sounded like shit. I can't believe it was that much worse than I remembered. This kind of home drum kit background type of rap kinda sounds irritating now.

The MC Hammer Can't Touch This is still pretty awesome. I watched it tonight and was mesmerized by the music and dancing. I was always a fan of MC Hammer. I remember I was selling his music at a black music store in the mid 90s when his popularity was waning and I liked a song he had called "Bust em in the head". I actually like a lot of his music and dancing. He was quite a character.

Duran Duran was a band I thought was a bunch of pretty boys growing up and for that reason, in the early 80s I didn't care for them much, but over the years they kept growing on me and now I think they are awesome. I really like this song. I also like Ordinary World which I have on my playlist and play on bass along to whenever I play my bass along with music. It's a good song to get lost in. I remember sleeping in my bedroom one night with the tv on loud in the living room and waking up to them playing this song on tv in concert and the tv was so loud I could hear the song clearly and it sounded so damn pretty waking up to it, it felt like I was waking up into a dream. I just laid there in my bed listening to it and thinking "Damn, that sounds really good".

The Sir Mix A Lot song Im not really familiar with and although it doesn't sound too bad, it doesn't do much for me either. I'm kinda glad I'm not familiar with it.

All in all, a good mix of videos. Thanks!

That was a really bad time for music. When MTV start doing "Yo MTV Raps" due to pressure from the black community, it ran off most of the white audience. I went to MTV to listen to certain styles of music, not 'any' style of music. Once the Rap music started getting all the airplay, it pushed rock aside and rock didn't regain a stronghold until Grunge came along and I couldn't stand grunge. Nirvanna was at least inspired by Cheap Trick a little, so they had a slightly cleaner sound. I don't mind them. I thought (and still think) MC Hammer was talentless from the first time I saw his video. I wasn't too interested in music again until everyone started copying the Ramones style.

Now all I hear on the radio is oldies I've heard a million times and it's not even the oldies I want to hear occasionally. I hear better oldies when I go buy a hamburger from 5 Guys.

I don't think they had a clean sound at all.

I think now is a really bad time for music. I can't find much of the new stuff that I can listen too. All the alternative music is terrible. I don't want to listen to this days rap. There aren't that many good metal bands. I don't get into all this pop stuff either. I usually end up listening to the classic hits station now. A station I used to not listen to at all.
