My All Time Favorite Music Videos:
Note: Some of these may have already been mentioned above
I’m from Jersey and every Jersey Girl loves Bon Jovi! I mean what is there not to love? He’s hot, the band is hot, and their songs are hot! They literally have a song for everything!!! The best part? They never get old!
Toni Braxton’s songs are from the heart. You can feel the pain, love, tears, etc. just pouring out of her beautiful voice. Toni Braxton songs are the only songs that I can sing and sound good while singing! I used to love listening to her songs, especially when I was in High School and my heart was breaking. You remember those don’t you?
Memories:
Songs have been in existence for as long as humans have been around. Music helps us describe what we are feeling, or sometimes what we can’t put into words what we are feeling. As I sat here and wrote out this post, I just couldn’t believe that some of the greatest songs of our generation are now officially 20 years old. I still get nostalgic when I hear some of them. I literally get to walk down memory lane. It’s amazing that most of us were between 9 and 10 years old when some of the world’s best music was made! I hope you have enjoyed this nostalgic journey with me. What are some of your favorite songs from your generation?
I graduated in 93! I love, love, love your list and your videos are post on. Brilliant idea!

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Class of 94 here!
Love a lot of those songs.
Bon Jovi is awesome..I loved the whole Young Guns soundtrack
Meatloaf Bat of Hell 1 and 2 are great, but this song I posted a literal video of it a couple weeks ago so it makes me giggle some now.

Laura, I can listen to Bon Jovi and Meatloaf alllll day long!
I’m a youngin, so in 1993 I was all of 7 years old, but I think what a lot of these songs have proven is that they have some serious staying power. I’ve heard them all, know most of them, and they will continue to live on for many more decades to come.
Thanks for rounding up all of this music. It was really interesting to see it listed all together.

Eek! 20 years? I swear if someone asked me how long ago 1993 was, I’d say around 10 years…is this a sign I am getting old?
Love the list!
