Awwe, that brought me back. Thanks :)

Born in '75, 33 (maybe 34) out of 66.

Except, after the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", I acually thought of Jon Bon Jovi and though "Living On A Prayer" should be up there, also. Then I saw Bon Jovi on the bottom. Same album.

Sorry, that's a stupid error and I went to get my coffee and couldn't edit it, but that's ^^^ supposed to be "thought" not "though", after the first Bon Jovi.
