    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 Songs
    I'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.
