Uh, then what was? It's right there in the movie. But I'll retract part of my statement about "middle-aged people," as James Ingram was only in his early thirties then.

This is more about an album but I think this still fits. I never really listened to music growing up. My mom was really into the Beatles, but my parents didn't really listen to music all that often. With the exception of a short period in elementary school where I purchased, I kid you not, Who Let the Dogs Out, Aaron's Party (Come Get It), and a Now That's What I Call Music! 4, I never bought any music. When I was about 15 one of my cousins was listening to American Idiot and it just clicked. It got a lot of hate, and while I don't like anything I've heard by Green Day after American Idiot, and a few of the songs have been somewhat ruined for me by being overplayed, but I still really like this album.

Train is awful, but dammit if I don't want to meet Virginia...

Despite their 'nutty' image, this has a melancholic edge that I didn't recognise at the time but as time has gone is easily spotted. I guess I have always been a glass half empty person! Love that Sax solo though.

Before I even knew how great XTC were I loved this track.

Yes I still like E.L.O and I couldn't give two craps if it's uncool. I grew up with this band and Geoff Lynne writes a mean Pop tune.

The very first Reggae track I can remember and I have only just found out right now that it's Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers. I don't know whether to be pleased or devastated!

My first recollection of a Guitar being a main instrument. Give me a break I was around 6 when my Dad first played this! Sounds quite cool even now, especially all the sound F/X. Thank you Dad!

Forgot this one. Still a top tune!

Love that song. That whole album is what Dr Feelgood could have been if it hadn't been just plain mediocre.
