music Super nostalgic songs/bands from your childhood?

[Brook 663]

Any bands that are embedded into your head? Pretty self-explanatory, post the songs that you are in love with ever since you were a child

 

For me, it has to be Smash Mouth, they essentially defined my taste in music when I was 6~10, and it also helped that they made the soundtrack for every movie from my childhood

 

here:

 

And of course,

 

So once again, any nostalgic songs? :3

I'm a child of the 80s, so a lot of Michael Jackson, Weird Al Yankovic, The Cars, Genesis, Bon Jovi...  I still remember having a blast watching the Beat It video on MTV.

Mind posting some? I've never heard of The Cars or Genesis, so would you mind showing me what you liked to listen to? :3 Also this will flow much better if we get a bunch of songs in it

When I was little I listened to Bon Jovi and Aerosmith all the time. I loved them and still do. I still have the CDs and tapes of them that I got when I was 11 years old.

 

My favorite Bon Jovi Song:

Never heard of Genesis?  Phil Collins?  Man, that makes me feel old.

 

The Cars:

They Might be Giants. I would listen to their songs for hours on end when I was little, I was pretty much obsessed. This is my favourite song from them, and one of the most catchy, too!

Despite being born in March of 1994, the entire Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet album is nostalgic for me.  Bon Jovi was my true first favorite band when some friends of mine lent me the album in the 3rd grade.

I grew up with the original Transformers cartoon and this song IS my childhood. As soon as I read the title of this thread this song popped into my head.

Really? Out of ALL the They Might Be Giants Songs, The Sun, Dr. Worm, Never Gonna Work, ALL those, you pick the one that sounds like safety dance? I am disappointed in you  -_-

 

Okay not really but I expected you to say one of the ones I mentioned when you said They Might Be Giants 

[Mortimer 332]

Hmmm, well i can clearly remember bands like Dire Straits (Walk of Life), Depeche Mode (Just Can't Get Enough and Personal Jesus), Bloodhound Gang (The Bad Touch), Crash Test Dummies (Hmmmmmmmm) and a couple of others.

[hawkflame 3,310]

Oh, and I can't forget about this. 

 

 

 

Still one of my all time favorite music videos.  The use of hand drawn rotoscoped animation *still* looks astounding.

[An Old Head 4,816]

Do TV show themes count? Because the theme to Fireman Sam (I doubt you'll know it if you don't live in the UK or Ireland) is just overflowing with personal nostalgia.

Haha, yeah. I have a deep love for Birdhouse in Your Soul and posting any other song would make me feel like I betrayed it. Silly, amirite? xD

Oh my god hawkflame, now I officially love you, that's one of the best songs ever ^-^

I don't see why not also movie intros and anything from any show could be used too, anything that you remember from a nostalgic view point basically

Nostalgia eh?

I got one. 

A band called My Body Sings Electric, from Denver.

They did free shows and such alot and quickly became one of my favorite bands.

Even though this is a new track from them it still gives you they're 'flavor' as a band that I fell in love with.

I remember when they had Fatboy Slim at heavy rotation on MuchMusic back in 98, that and semi-good music in general. If it hadn't been for MuchMusic, I'd probably be listening to rap music right now.

[StingeMuffin 244]

Eiffel 65 - Blue, released in 1998. I was seven then, so - being understandably very impressionable when it came to music - I fell in love with this song and its artist when it came out. I even still like their songs to some degree; Eiffel 65's music is catchy, albeit repetitive and predictable in its structure.
