1. Beatles music in '69, Cant Buy Me Love was my first memory of a song..big and long Fords were everywhere. TVs were black and white and an endless speeches by then Pres. Marcos on Channel 9..
2. Jacksons 5 and The Boyfriends in the 70's, Music and Me and One Day in Your Life brings back elementary days as well as Voltes V! The Lancer L-Types, the Starlets and Corollas..Crosby shoes and the original El Bimbo record! along with Perez Prado's brand of chacha. ( LP records are what you spin during those days )
3. early '80s were Air Supply and Chicago, mid-'80s Mike Francis, Simply Red. Electronic games were just Game and Watch and Space Invaders in parlors. Nike shoes..
4. late '80s and early '90s college days na with U2, The Cure et al, Pearl Jam and Collective Soul..and then Gameboy na.
5. The onset of the new millennium up to the present makes little difference in terms of song relevance compared to the past maybe because of other important concerns like family..and problems, job..and problems!, though Eraserheads, Siakol and David Cook strike the right chords enough to remember them by say after another 10 years more.
