Introduction

How many bands that came out since 1979 are still around?

It seems that as time goes on, twenty and thirty year reunions are becoming more of the norm. As my autobiography filled out, I was impressed that I associated both one hit wonders AND what I consider more legendary bands equally as part of my life's experiences.

I remember where I was, what I was doing... and the people I was around so vividly just by hearing certain songs. Everybody has songs like these and "where were you" memories. Whenever I hear a song that reminds me of something, I tell someone who was there about "that one time." Their reply is usually something to the effect of "man, I totally remember that... but I wouldn't have unless you brought it up." This is a collection of said memories.
