Unfortunately, too many videos disable embedding, these, too, are embedding disabled, but if you doubleclick or grab the youtube link, you can watch the videos over there.

I'm of a younger generation, so I grew up with Blink 182

Hey Darthchicken, "embedding disabled by request".
I'm of an older generation and grew up with ELVIN BISHOP:

These two songs are often confused LITTLE RIVER BAND and STYX:

TOTO! Good one.
NILSSON: another seriously mismanaged talent that left us too soon:

This last one is an embarrassing lipsynch to the original recording.

Geez.. I'm one of the few people who remember hearing this song.

Remember it?

CHARLIE DORE went to #13 in March 1980...

Well, I mean people would not likely remember it today by its title, they'd have to listen to it for a while and MAYBE then they'd go "oh yeah!".
Here's another song that takes me back to early grade school:

Hey Darksider, I could pick songs for this thread all day long, but finding 'em on youtube is sometimes not possible.

Here's an okay clip of T. REX - the best I could find - on German TV before MARC BOLAN's early death. We get to see T. REX about 12 seconds after ze Cherman Fampyre stops talking...

AHD,
It's sad how many tragedies occured in the '70s to music icons. Right around in the early to mid '70s especially.. Bolan, Allman, Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison.. jeez.

On a lighter note, I always loved this song.

Probably about when you were a year or two old retrorussell , this was a big hit:

I was 2. Sylvia looks really, really stupid in that outfit.

There is an ex-girlfriend that I dated back in the mid 90's that loved for us to have sex to Pink Floyd's The Division Bell for some reason whenever she could. Didn't really matter to me. She found it to be great mood music for her. I was really in love with her and she broke my heart seriously. Ripped it out of my chest, stomped on it a bit, ran over it with her car, played basketball with it, used it for fetch with her dog and then put it in a juicer.

So, I seriously still to this day can't stand to listen to anything from that album as it brings up too many bad memories.
