This morning, while listening to a favorite album - They Might Be Giant's Flood - I realized that I have been a fan of this band for more than half my life! (since age 16). I started thinking about other music I liked then and how they have stood the test of time.

TMBG- Still have HUGE TMBG love. HUGE.

Beatles- Same, though the passion has gone.

Depeche Mode - hmmm, well. I still have a couple albums on the iPod and I'm generally pretty pleased when one comes up on shuffle. But seriously, if I listen to a whole album it sounds like a pretentious college kid trying to get a 15 year old in bed 'cause he's SO DEEP.

Dee-lite- not so much, though I haven't heard them for years. I'd probably be pretty psyched to hear "Groove Is In The Heart" at a wedding, though.

Christy Moore/Van Morrison/Irish troubador types: NSM

My other HUGE LOVE 4EVA!!!11!!!! band is the Beastie Boys and I didn't get into them till college.

I feel like there's one more I was thinking of during my walk, but I can't recall.

Bwah!! Well put, Nora. Well put.

I will say that "I Just Can't Get Enough" is one of the best songs of the 80s, but I agree with you on too much Depeche Mode being a bad thing.

Kathy, what was the song that you requested at Prom that we all danced crazily too?! I've been trying to remember ever since.

I kissed a girl?

The Communards cover version of "Don't Leave Me This Way". (Can't remember who originally sang it, though.) Love that song!!!

Thelma Houston? At least that's who sings it on my copy of "Pure Disco"!

Thelma Houston! That's her. I was thinking Gloria Gaynor, but I knew that was wrong.

AH!! Thanks!!! Must go buy. Must go buy. Must go buy.

I kissed a girl?

My guess is yes, you have.
