My Favourite.....Music Growing Up



My Favorite.. is a weekly meme hosted by Maureen’s Books. In this meme we share every week something we love with each other. Because let’s face it.. The world can be a dark place and it’s time to share something positive. For more info: My Favorite Meme.

 Music is a great passion of mine, I love to listen to it and I enjoy many varied forms.  When I was younger I did not have a lot of exposure to it though, only what my parents listen to as we did not have all these fancy devices that my kids have today.

 I remember having a variety show of sorts in Grade One and we did a cover of this song which was my favourite at the time.  

What was your favourite music growing up?

    I love classic rock. It is by far my favorite music genre. I was introduced to it at a very young age as I shared a room with my older sister. Today is her birthday. She would have been 63, but I lost her to cancer 21 years ago. Her taste in music still influences me to this day.

    I love all sorts of music. I grew up listening to Status Quo so that has a special place in my heart, but then in my teens it was all about Steps, hehe.

    Awesome! I mostly listened to the Pop songs on TV and radio in 90's. I had a few CDs but was always out of batteries for my disk-man. I remember back then boy bands were pretty big deal.
    Enjoyed reading your post, bought back nostalgia of growing up :)
    Best Wishes!

    One of my strongest memories of elementary school was our talent show in sixth grade. The guy I had a crush on and three of his friends sang "Elvira." My crush turned out to be gay--I guess my gay-dar wasn't so strong at 12!

The Nineties

So here it is my list of my favorite things from the 1990's.  Enjoy!


The movie Mermaids was released, this may be one of my most loved movies of the nineties. Starring Cher and Winona Ryder it has a great cast and it actually deals with issues which a lot of movies today don't.    

My favorite thing from 1991 was the release of Nirvana's Nevermind.  This album continues to be one of my staples for listening to and without it so much of the music I know and love today just wouldn't exist. 


 So, being Canadian and all my 1992 is naturally devoted to the Toronto Blue Jays winning the World Series.  This was a huge deal being that there were so many firsts involved in it, first world series game played outside the United States, first non American team to win the world series. 


Then they did it again.  GO JAYS GO!  Seriously, living in Toronto in the early '90's you would have thought people around here liked baseball or something.  (not saying that we don&…
