Just another Emusic junky. My preference is the avant-garde, and anything with a challenging rhythm. But, I'm really hear to enjoy and to discover music. ...and of course to stop worrying and learn to love the trolls.

Pop hit memories by Televiper

"This is a list of albums that contain "hit singles" that I remember for the 80's and 90's. These were all popular on Much Music and the radio. I'm Canadian so this will be Canada centric."
