I'm pretty sure that the music video for "another brick in the wall pt.2" mentally scarred me as a kid....

The 80s had the very best music of all time.

Guns N Roses always..ALWAYS...takes my mind and memories back to such a wonderful time in my life. I met my wife in 87 and from then until her death this year my life was heaven on Earth. Great great f'n times.

This was the music I grew up listing to! I am from a family of musicians, and we did many of those songs in our band. My Dad and I also were DJ'S. Whenever were were not playing live, we would spin records. We owned our own nightclub and set up a light show that rivled what you would see in New York. These songs bring back special memories of first my Dad and I, but later my younger sisters to my 2 sons! My father passed on in March of 2014, so I treasure this music and the memories that come from them. 😘😘😘
