We have a winner!!!!!!

I have been reading these posts from the beginning and many of you have really good points on the 8 or 9 sides of the issue, but here is my theory: The music you remember the fondest is what was playing when your hormones were raging their fiercest. It is not intellectual, it is primal. Just, think about it.

When I hear the songs of my youth and am reminded of the girlfriends of my youth I have a “reaction”. Maybe, not really “hard” evidence, but, it’s a good theory.

Off hand I would tend to agree with you. But then I think about the songs that are being revived for use in commercials that cost a million dollars or more to produce, let alone air, and those songs are coming from that era.

I tend to think it just coincidence that my hormones were raging at the same time as the music was at a height in quality.

I don't think that in 50 years an ad agency will spend a million dollars to use “Baby Got Back” (about the big butts of certain ladies) to hype a product.

Regardless of the why’s I know that there's a couple of songs from back then that still melt my heart.
