Ha- haven't thought about Toto in a bit!
Sorry, no time to write all the album titles...
Dylan, The Kinks, Squeeze, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Midnight Oil, Smashing Pumpkins, The Police, The La's, The Plimsouls, The Ramones, The Replacements, U2, (before...well, you all know when), Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye. (And don't forget Toad's 1st album came out in '89 but written in '84/'85.
)
When I was younger, older kids played a lot of Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Black Sabbath. Until some got into Marley. I'm trying to remember all my parents listened to; their taste isn't too bad.
