Young $ Makes The Bed Rock While Hanson Thinks 'Bout Somethin' - Friday Music

This week's issue of Friday Music once again is an eclectic mix. While the styles of music I cover at my blog, Soundtrack to my Day, are varied as well, Rickey asked me to do a post here to get everyone ready for the weekend. Since he was kind enough to ask me to do this guest post, I wanted to take him seriously and I asked my 16-year-old nephew Justin what he was listening to, and he told me his current favorite is Young Money's Bed Rock.

Predating American Idol by several years, the brothers of Hanson took the world by storm with MMMBop, with their mops of hair and cute looks. But that was the 90s, and they just released a new single, Thinking 'Bout Somethin' in anticipation of their new album, Shout It Out. (Then & Now - Hanson)

GLEE might have the incredible Jane Lynch, but Madonna knew how to Vogue twenty years ago, almost to the day. She released the single on March 20, 1990. (Sue Sylvester Vogues)
