The ultimate slow dance song, that came out when I was in high school. Even brought out the wallflowers.

Color My World - Chicago

November Rain
Lady In Red
End of the Road

Show Me The Way - Styx

And yes...Richard Marx was king

Love Bites - Def Leppard
More than Words - Extreme

End of the year when I graduated from 9th Grade in Saudi Arabia and "Love at First Sting" tapes had just made it to my hometown in Saudi Arabia.

Still Loving You by The Scorpions (great memories buried in this one)

Iris - Goo Goo Dolls

Said this in the other thread. I suspect there wasn't a single dance from 7th grade through prom ('99ish-'05) that didn't have this one. It was a staple of that era.

Richard Marx was the king of the slow dance in the HS days.

I had a disturbing image pop into my head of kids at the junior prom slow dancing to "Hazard".

You can tell who grew up in a city and who didn't. No way Warrant and Guns n Roses were being played at my school.

Please. In my small hometown & every other one around it, we all listened to almost everything. Skid Row, NWA, Garth Brooks... didn't matter. Except we didn't listen to stuff like Morrissy. You'd get your a$$ kicked for putting that in the tape deck/CD player.

Chicago worked so hard on Color My World but for a long time no DJ wanted to play it because they were such hard rockers back then. I saw an interview with Terry Kath (lead singer on the song) one time where he said when he actually heard it on the radio, he initially though it was a new Paul McCartney song.

The difference though, is that in my school, most kids weren't listening to Skid Row and Garth Brooks.

I have to confess that I didn't start listening to Morrissey until 2020.

A combination of Sirius XM Ch. 33 First Wave and reading about him getting in trouble with the media for making conservative statements about UK politics got me interested.

Then of course the California Covid lockdowns provided plenty of time for streaming music off YouTube.

I got to see him in August 2021 at Caesars Palace in Vegas. Great show but they still had crazy Covid rules in place at that time. I had to buy a $25 beer so I could act like I was drinking it in order to pull my mask down (can't hate the people making those rules enough - and we know who they were but this isn't F16).
