Eurythmics (and any Annie Lennox in general) will forever remind me of sauteed mushrooms and cheese on toasted bread. Which is really funny. But it is a fond memory.

(Staple lunch when I was in Prague. Roommate and I played those cds a whole helluva lot, partly to drive the suitemate from hell away. That and the Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It only took 2 months until she essentially vacated.)

Also? I hated the Eurhythmics.

I say good day to you, Topic!Cindy!

(How do you feel about Annie Lennox solo?)

(Quite fond of "Lifted" off of Peace, myself.)

This is a neat idea -- recipes shared on Flickr.

Annie Lenox solo is brilliant. I can listen to "Why" forever.

And I am now earwormed with "Sweet dreams are made of cheese..."

What timeframe of your life are you supposed to become attached to the music of? When you're growing up or as a teenager? I'm assuming it's the latter, because I hated the music of the 80s for the most part and listened to talk radio. I didn't start caring about music until I heard Pearl Jam play on The Tonight Show (or Letterman or something like that) and suddenly went "Oh my God, that kicks ass."

I was teenager in the 80s, but I can't say I'm real attached to 80s music.

For the most part, the only music from the 80s I like came from bands who either started in the 70s and just continued on into the 80s and/or managed to survive past the 80s. Just about anything that is distinctly 80s does not appeal to me in the slightest.

I've loved music since I was a kid -- like, in elementary school. The first album I bought with my allowance money was Fleetwood Mac's Rumors.

I have an unnatural fondness for bad late '70s pop and one-hit wonders ("Brandy," anyone?) but I don't like a lot of music from the '80s, when I was in high school. U2, yeah, and REM, but not a lot more than that, unless I'm forgetting some.

At the wedding, the DJ played "Hey Ya," and I couldn't stop expecting to hear the chorus "Taaaaardis.... Tardis..."

What timeframe of your life are you supposed to become attached to the music of?

Dunno. Growing up, my parents listened to Heart, The Beach Boys, CCR, Bob Seger, ABBA, and manyMANY musicals. I only like Bob and CCR now, though I do have guilty affection for ABBA.

My first taste of New Wave (about 7 years behind the curve) was an explosion in my brain - that was when I was 13? I think? I still love it. I also have a guilty affection for hair bands such as Bon Jovi (Waaaaanted) and Poison, which was the prevalent music in teenagerdom.
