Throwback Songs

There's nothing I enjoy more than spending a night with friends listening to the hits songs of the 90s.  Since I grew up in the 90s this is the decade that I know every word to many (horribly) good songs.  The bands to which I am referring to include but are not limited to N'SYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Brittany Spears.

Something for the Rest of Us

                I haven't done this yet, so please allow me just one blog to impose my musical tastes on whoever reads this. In my opinion, there are just some albums that everyone should know about (and, preferably, own) and this is one of them.  Ever since the first time I heard one of their songs in the third grade, the Goo Goo Dolls have been my favorite band.
