Music I Listened to and Concerts I went to in the 1990’s Part 1 Stuart Griffin 2024-09-21 | This video is the fourth in the series I am doing about my music experiences. I decided to do three videos about my 1990’s music experiences. The first, which is this one, will be about the more pop-oriented music I listened to and concerts I went to in the 1990’s. The second, which will be my next video, will be about the country music I listened to and concerts I went to in the 1990’s. The third will about the heavier music I listened to and concerts I went to in the 1990’s. I got the idea for doing this series after a conversation in the comment section of a video by Kelly @booksimnotreading. We realized that we both like Tori Amos. These videos are separate from my book videos. I am still going to do the same number and type of book videos I do now. The music videos are in addition to the book videos. I may talk a little more about the music I listen to in a given week towards the end of my weekly reading wrap-up videos. Bands I mention in this video:Run DMCAerosmithPublic EnemyN.W.A.Eazy-E (Eric Wright)Dr. DreEminemSheryl CrowTori AmosThe CranberriesTLCNo DoubtJewelGarbageShirley MansonSarah McLachlanBob DylanAni DiFrancoDestiny’s ChildBeyonceBruce SpringsteenBon JoviRattZZ TopDavid BowieNine Inch NailsTrent ReznorAtticus FinchR.E.M.Bob SegerThe CranberriesSmashing PumpkinsStyxPat BenatarNeil GiraldoRolling StoneLilith FairMusic I Listened to and Concerts I went to in the 1970's: youtube.com/watch?v=PPQg9rRtYnA&t=1sMusic I Listened to and Concerts I went to in the 1980's Part 1: youtube.com/watch?v=VkovBBNasLQ&t=4sMusic I Listened to and Concerts I went to in the 1980's Part 2: youtube.com/watch?v=VVInhbITSsk&t=3s

Music I Listened to and Concerts I went to in the 1980’s Part 2 Stuart Griffin 2024-09-04 | This video is the third in the series I am doing about my music experiences. It is the second of the two videos I decided to do my 1980’s music experiences. The first was about the more pop-oriented music I listened to and concerts I went to in the 1980’s. The second, which is this one, is about the heavier music I listened to and concerts I went to in the 1980’s. It will talk about how and why I became a heavy metal fan. I got the idea for doing this series after a conversation in the comment section of a video by Kelly @booksimnotreading. We realized that we both like Tori Amos. These videos are separate from my book videos. I am still going to do the same number and type of book videos I do now. The music videos are in addition to the book videos. I may talk a little more about the music I listen too in a given week towards the end of my weekly reading wrap-up videos.

Music I Listened to and Concerts I went to in the 1970’s Stuart Griffin 2024-08-09 | . This video is going to be a little different than my book videos. I am going to do a series where I talk about the music I listened to and the concerts I went to in the decades of my life. I plan to do one video per decade starting with the 1970’s.
