I was teenager in the 80s, but I can't say I'm real attached to 80s music.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

Because books.
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..."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I like the Eurythmics better than most Annie Lennox solo. Perhaps because "Why" and "Walking on Broken Glass" were very overplayed by the canned radio station in the grocery store in which I worked. We always called 'Walkin on Broken Glass' ' Just Like I've got a Broken Ass'.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have three brand-new holes in my arm, courtesy of tetanus, Hep A, and Hep B vaccinations.
Boy, this is exciting.

Okay, I'm suffering from that writer's thingie when you can't think of the words.
Had an interview last night and I'm trying to compose a thank you letter that praises the organization, and conveys my enthusiastic interest in the firm and why they must hire me immediately. But all I keep coming up with smells of sycophancy and desperation. Does have a good template for thank you letters or know a good website that has them?

My tastes are scattershot. I grew up on my parents's stuff (which pretty much skipped anything popular in the 70s and 80s, but for my Dad, of all people, introducing me to U2,) was pretty unaware of music* until I got to college.
* but for the U2, TMBG, Siouxie and the Banshees, Tori Amos and the NIN tapes I tortured my brother with while driving him to school. I have no idea how I became familiar with them. Maybe the college rock station in town.
