They do for me, but mostly because they are perfect for Grease.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Man, I'm so glad I got annoyed at the continuing OOPness of the Them catalog and the attendant prices and found a blog where I could suck The Story of Them through the interpipe.
Because young Van Morrison is just an outstanding blues, R&B and folk singer.
I already knew his versions of "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "Richard Cory" were awesome but there's so much good shit here. Lots of songs I'd never heard, like "Don't You Know" or his Nina Simone inspired version of "I Put A Spell On You."
Back on to the current topic I'm not too embarrassed by my teen taste. Freaks and Geeks allowed me to own up to Styx and "Come Sail Away."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Styx is another band I loved as a kid that I've slowly been getting back into....

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
I've never been ashamed of my Queen, Pink Floyd or Styx love.
MJ's Thriller is another story.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was in high school, my brother liked to play his Styx albums full blast when I was trying to sleep. Kind of put me off them.

I went from liking pop/Top 40 music until I was around 16, and then my brother got me into 1950s/early '60s music, which I listened to almost exclusively for about four years until a college friend dragged me out to dance on New Wave night at the local nightclub. That's when I got hooked on mid-80s New Wave--Dead or Alive, Erasure, Communards, New Order, etc., as well as some of the college radio stuff like REM, OMD, INXS, and other all-caps groups.

In the music crit business we call that the Caps Lock Era.
Okay, we don't but now I will.
(I also refer to the early Beatles music as their Pronoun Era.)

Because books.
I'm still ashamed I bought the Wilson Phillips album. I wasn't even in high school at the time.
I was never really ashamed of any of my high school favorites, which were mostly Pink Floyd and the Who and the Dead. It was the early 80s, but I guess I didn't know it?
I did have a brief flirtation with ... New Wave? Electronic stuff? I don't even know what to call it -- Romeo Void, Depeche Mode, Yaz, etc. It didn't last long, and I also discovered Joni Mitchell in high school, so.
