a child of the 90's

Recently, I've been searching through old music. I actually have some cassettes still at my mom's house. My very first cassette was Madonna's album with Like A Prayer on it. It got stuck in my tape player.

These songs have brought back this nostalgic feeling - and there are several memories tied to them. For instance, the night I found out my best friend (at the time)'s brother killed himself, there was a song playing (that, for the life of me, I can't seem to remember which one right now). But every time I hear that song I think about him. He was only 14.

In lieu of my recent music searching, I've compiled a list of songs that I grew up to. That's not to say these are my favorite songs by these artists by any stretch of the imagination, it's just the songs that were out when I was growing up. I'll probably go home tonight and make a mixed CD and call it a day. Enjoy.
