(Teddy Riley Featuring Guy?  Johnny Kemp?)  Of the tunes I do recognize, there aren&#8217;t five I feel particularly attached to&#8212;I own copies of only two of the CDs on which any of the songs appear.  And although I&#8217;ve come to know (and sometimes even like) some of the songs since the year I turned 18, that&#8217;s not what this particular meme is about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It&#8217;s not like I wasn&#8217;t listening to popular music in 1989, it&#8217;s just that none of it is represented there.  So I&#8217;ve got to pass on this one.  Perhaps some of you others out there will have better luck.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I saw the Musical Age of Majority at Paul Gorbould&#8217;s blog and thought, hey, what the heck.
