A friend from another forum posted that.  Thought it was perfect for here.

I think that list is definitely for people who were born in the late 70s or early 80's...it is for the youngest of the 80s generation because those are all the things I remember and I was born in '82, but some of those were 90's. I was so young in the 80's that sometime I have a hard time remembering what was 80's and what was early 90's...which reminds me to ask something that someone here might clear up for me. Was Wilson Philips late 80's or 90's? My boyfriend and I saw an infomercial on tv saturday for Rod Stewart collection of greatest hits and one of the songs was "reason to believe" and I was telling him how (while I know NOW that is a Rod Stewart song) when I was younger I only knew it by Wilson Philips...heh
