Retro

Retro: Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of things past; retrospective.

New Kids on the Block was popular when I was in my primary (elementary) school. So this song (1989) is nostalgic - brought back lots of memories, mostly good and a few sad which includes the death of a friend.

Some of the other popular songs then...

Tommy Page: A shoulder to cry on (1988)

Bananarama: Love in the first degree (1987), I heard a rumour (1987), Venus (1986)

Belinda Carlisle: Heaven is a place on earth (1987)

Debbie Gibson: Shake your love (1987)

Martika: Toy soldiers

Jason Donovan: Sealed with a kiss, Especially for you (1988, with Kylie Minogue)

21 years on, gosh, I sure do feel old now. =)
