I take it you're not referring to the N SYNC version of that song?

Subject: Re: [internetworkers] PART 2: history lesson


On this theme, I'm not sure it's just world events that the younger
generation doesn't know about.  A friend of mine and I were in a
bike store a few weeks ago looking at stuff and the song "More Than a
Feeling" came on.  I asked him if he could name the band and he got
this blank look on his face.  Ok, I thought to myself, I'll just tell
him.
I was shocked, however, when he had never even heard of them!  I also
asked him about a similar band of the same era named in a similar
fashion and he'd never heard of them either.  Now, while the simple
explanation here might be that he's not into that kind of music, I
have to wonder about the deeper implications about not remembering
the past, especially after reading the rest of this thread.

Cheers,
Tanner
P.S. Yes, I was deliberately vague naming the bands.  I wanted to
give people an opportunity to think about it for a second and see
if they too could figure it out.  The first one should be easy since
I did give a song by them.  The second one should be obvious if you
a) know who the first are and b) know other bands that were popular
about the same time.
