3. I voted Hanson

Edited on Fri Jun-18-04 10:19 PM by quinnox

Because Tiffany was crap, and at least Hanson had a catchy one hit wonder tune.

Also, Debbie Gibson should have been included, she was in the same era as Tiffany. She had a lot more hits, but is completely missing from the scene now.

7. OK, I admit to loving the Cowsills

And I have to include that he's married to Vicki Peterson of the Bangles (just because I'm a trivia junkie).:hi:

28. Susan Cowsill married Peter Holsapple of the dBs

Looks like the Continental Drifters scene was a pretty cozy bunch. And it couldn't've happened to a nicer bunch of people!

8. Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer

His love for Darla was a thing of beauty.

Knifed to death in a bar fight.

We shall not see his like again.

10. Hey! Where are Leslie Gore and Little Peggy March and Dodie Stevens

and Donny, Marie, and Jimmy Osmond. The Beach Boys were still in their teens when they started... The Brothers Gibb (aka The Bee Gees) The Weird One and the rest of the Jackson Five.

Many of the singing solos/groups that got their start in the sixties were in their teens

11. Other: Stacy Lattisaw

R&B singer who, at 13, hit with "Let Me Be Your Angel" (1980) and a year later with a remake of the Moments' "Love On A Two-Way Street." Got out of the music business because she was tired of its cutthroat nature. Now happily married with a couple of kids.

Responsible for one of the worst earworms ever, "Let the Sunshine In." Right? It's stuck in your head now, isn't it. It's in mine now, damn it.

A close second is Leif Garrett, but he won't let anyone forget him.

19. So when you listen to it at the not-so-innocent age of 29...

:puke:

Ugh, that song was awful!

Even The Brady Bunch Kids tour wasn't as cringing!

He was hot. He had the best feathered hair. It's as if his hair itself set that stupid trend, you know?

40. I loved Jack but that show scared me

It was the pitch of "Jiiiiimmmmmyyyyyy" :scared: still gives me a chill. But yeah, Jack was hot. Sadly, I looked him up a while ago and he, like so many of our early loves (apparently) fell into a life of misery and alcoholism.:(
