*included one big single by each group that your father most likely knows.  Wasn't a big Winger or Cult fan that's why I can't think of a popular song by them off hand.

Winger "Seventeen" & The Cult "Fire Woman"  :)

Thanks. These aren't what we were looking for, but the effort is appreciated. Thanks!

If you told us what type of music it might help.

Bands from the 80's and 90's? he's either young or really into music!

does anyone remember a band called Fastway?  It was a great metal band that wasn't to heavy. 
I think they had maybe 5 albums, my favorite was All Fired Up.  I just can't figure out why they
are so unknown.
