The entire soundtracks to Purple Rain and The Lost Boys. We listened to them in the car a lot. We also listened to The Strangers' Greatest Hits. I remember listening to Waltzinblack late at night when we picked our father up from work. I took my quilt with me. My sister stood on a snail.
One night he finished a bit earlier, and we'd just got back from our grandparents' house, so while we were waiting to pick him up, we sat in the living room listening to I'm Going Bananas by Madonna. My sister loved it.
We used to live about 6 minutes away from Thorpe Park so we went there a lot. On one occasion (when I was 7, perhaps) we went into the palladium to watch The Legend Of The Ring. It was a bit like Indiana Jones on stage. They used The Final Countdown by Europe and from that day on I had the song in my head all the time. I needed to have it. A couple of months later my father found an advert in the paper about free tapes from the petrol station around the corner when you collected points. I got the tape. I got the song. Win.
While I got the Miles Of Greatest Hits tape, my mother got the Miles Of Pop CD (yes, CD, shock, horror). It was amazing. It had Mr Loverman by Shabba Ranks and Mr Vain by Culturebeat on it. My sister and I borrowed it constantly so that we could have Puppy In My Pocket discos.
We also had a CD from Max Power magazine with lots of 90s dance stuff on it and I'd just got a parrot from a Kinder Egg so I gave it flying lessons around the room to the music and made myself dizzy.
Then, when I was about 8, my parents got Massive Attack's Protection. Songs like Karmacoma and Three remind me of trips to Addlestone with my mother and my sister straight after school.
At around the same time, I was obsessed with The Spice Girls, along with the rest of the world. Love Thing reminds me of awful performances in the school playground with my friends. That was my favourite track at the time.
When Barbie Girl by Aqua was big, I was one of the last people to hear it. I remember walking across the playground with my friends and singing every word but I still hadn't heard the song for myself. I just picked it up from them.
On one of our yearly trips to Southsea, we listened to Space - Female Of The Species and Divine Comedy - Something For The Weekend, so whenever I hear them I think of that. My Bugs Bunny swimming costume was getting a bit small but I didn't want to tell my parents because I loved it so much. Wikipedia says they were released in 1996 so I would've been 9.
My parents were quite into Beck at around the same time. I was playing out with a girl called Melissa and we saw that her parents had Devil's Haircut on tape in the car. I was really impressed that they were into Beck because they seemed so sensible.
All of us loved Ace Of Base, and in Year 6 we had to dance to All That She Wants in PE. My teacher said that we had to exaggerate our moves. I took it far too far and wobbled all over the place and I must've looked ridiculous but I felt cool.
Argh, The Human League, I haven't mentioned The Human League. They were always there throughout my childhood. One of my first tapes was Hysteria, and at the time I didn't have many (6 or 7) so I listened to the whole thing over and over again. I made a Puppy In My Pocket band called The Groovy Girls despite the fact that half of them were male. They were like my very own Human League and I had them singing So Hurt and The Lebanon on a red piece of plastic that I'd taken from a stacking toy. It was the best stage ever.
When my sister was about 7 (so I would've been around 10), she was really into The Mamas And The Papas, and one Christmas my parents bought her a compilation CD of stuff from around the same time (including California Dreamin', which is what she wanted it for). That CD was amazing. It also had Happy Together by The Turtles, Summer In The City by Joe Cocker and The Little Old Lady From Pasadena by Jan & Dean (which we found hilarious). That CD got overplayed. Again, it was a Puppy In My Pocket soundtrack.
I'm going to have to stop now.

Ace of Base reminds me of sitting in the back of my Mums old Lada Samara on Sunday drives

Ahhh.. almost forgot Fugees - Killing Me Softly: This just reminds me of primary school.
Good one.
I was still going to playscheme in the summer holidays when this was out, and while we were waiting for the bouncy castle to inflate I got up on stage and performed it for everyone. How embarrassing.

what's changed ey? 
Boyzone when I was little, my mum liked them and I overheard the CD a lot. And Phil Collins, Spice Girls, Billie, S Club 7, Aqua, Macarena, Superman (discos!) Another that reminds me of my primary school discos was that one "I never knew life could be so fabulous!" can't remember who sang it though.
Space Oddity by David Bowie.
Bit of a random one hehe, but whenever I hear it I remember when I first saw the music video to it when I was about four or something and being rather scared by Bowie's appearance and the red lighting etc.
Love the video now and am a long-time Bowie fan, too.
