Funny that S Club narrowed it down for you but not Louis Armstrong or Harry Belafonte.

As for where you grew up: suburbia. The region doesn't matter, because it's all basically the same.

As for me, I still haven't moved most of my music onto iTunes from my old computer to this one (it's in a folder somewhere), so there's not much of a playlist. Here's a song from each one on there:

"Secrets" - Bart & Friends
"Teenage" - Veronica Falls
"Lord Grenville" - Al Stewart
"Thirteen" - Big Star
"Different Sides" - Leonard Cohen
