Tonight my driver decided that we shall listen to the Backstreet Boys cd. When he came to pick me up from work, I found myself being transported back in time. When boy-bands were the flavour of ... what seemed liked ... the decade.

I remember growing up to the soul sounds of Boyz-to-Men, then the teen years were later filled with the buzz of Westlife & Backstreet Boys. What ever happened to ... who were they again? ... they made the popular hit " I swear, by the moon and stars in the sky, I'll be there...." and that other group who released "The thong song"...???

Anywayz, for a brief moment in the car tonight, I was back in the 90s...writing lyrics, tape recording songs, singing...oh my! What sweet memories!!!

Just out of curiosity (and interest) do any of you have songs or bands that when you hear take you back in time and make you re-live those good old days?

And do you ever wonder what happened to those great and wonderful artists?

Smokie. White lion. Dire Straits

Smokie, that's a blast from the past. My sister loved em, living next door to Alice and all that. Twisted sister remind me of some good times but Wings of a Dove by Madness reminds me of a crazy weekend me and my mate had with two lasses from Hull in Scarboro in the early 80's. Me and one of the lasses re-enacted some of the China Girl video by Bowie on the beach. Good times as Chic might say!!

ABBA, Bangles, Culture club

Queen were always my favourite band till Freddie died and You can't go wrong listening to ELO. I bought all their singles, some without having heard them, I just knew I would like the song!
