Childhood Musical Memories

[karl]

Let's see what songs and artists we can remember listening to as we grew up.

Let's make this up to the age of 15, we do not have to like the song or artist but if you remember it - that's fine.

We can list as many or as few, just as we remember them.

As I write one of my favourites is on the radio.
