  1. Whenever I hear “Waiting For A Star To Fall”, I think of a certain period of my life when I was living in Marquette, MI. Did you know that Boy Meets Girl (the writers of the song) offered it to Whitney Houston, but she turned it down?

    “Beds Are Burning” is another favorite of mine. My girlfriend at the time didn’t share my sentiment.

  3. I do not remember any of them. Hopefully, they were before my time, or I am losing my mind! :)

  4. Chelle Y. on November 14th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
  5. Great list! You’ve got my three favorites lumped together in the middle — 7, 8 and 9.

  6. The Gal Herself on November 14th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
  7. I only know #11 and that was a big favorite of mine. Have a great TT. :)

  8. Sandee (Comedy +) on November 14th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
  9. That could have been one of my tapes, great music!
    My TT lists 13 facts about the black panther.

  10. Tink on November 14th, 2007 at 11:51 pm

  14. Yuriko on November 15th, 2007 at 12:15 am

  16. Janet on November 15th, 2007 at 12:17 am

  18. Nicholas on November 15th, 2007 at 1:02 am
  19. Oooh, oh my, there are some old, forgotten friends in that list! Great stuff to rediscover, Mark — and thanks for helping me reconnect, too!

  20. Susan Helene Gottfried on November 15th, 2007 at 1:15 am
  21. Great list. I still love Pearl Jam and when Midnight Oil released that hit I overplayed it all the time!

  22. WorksForMom on November 15th, 2007 at 1:32 am
  23. Almost forgot about Midnight Oil! What a fun list. I now feel my age. But it’ll be okay. God bless!

  24. Sandy Carlson on November 15th, 2007 at 1:56 am
  25. LOL, some of those brought back memories. I dont know them all but I knew a few;) Happy TT.

    Good list.

  32. Journeywoman on November 15th, 2007 at 4:29 am
  33. Sweet Freedom, and Walking in Memphis somehow bring out memories to me.

    Oh, and definitely Beds Are Burning — I remember a high school sleepover!

  38. Serina Hope on November 15th, 2007 at 6:53 am
  39. I haven’t heard of most of those, but it’s a great list idea! I’m just not educated enough on music I guess.

  40. Natalie on November 15th, 2007 at 6:57 am

  43. Is it bad that I had to immediately stop and listen to Sweet Freedom?

    Michael McDonald was a big time crush based solely on how he sounded. I didn’t even know you could have a “voice crush” before him. LOL

    Great Flashback List!

  44. Xakara on November 15th, 2007 at 12:53 pm

  46. Emmyrose on November 15th, 2007 at 2:08 pm

  66. Sarah on November 15th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
  67. Haven’t thought of “Waiting for a Star to Fall” in forever! You really brought back some memories here.

  68. Cindy Swanson on November 15th, 2007 at 7:11 pm
  69. Home Taping is Killing Music!
    …Hold on a minute, it didn’t did it?

  70. darkdwarf on November 15th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
  71. Well they did tax blank tapes and give the record industry the cash to make up for home taping so technically all my tapes are legit :-)

    And slowly but surely I’m buying the CDs of a lot of the artists. Its taken me 15-20 years to get round to it but better late than never.

  72. Mark on November 15th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
  73. Oh dear I only recognize a couple of those names…

  74. ellen b on November 16th, 2007 at 12:14 am
  75. I remember some of those—Bob Marley, Midnight Oil, and the Starship. I’m from the Seventies, though—so these are a bit after my time!

    We have some gorgeous photos this week by a very talented photographer.
