And those teenagers who didn't listen to heavy metal, tended to prefer alt-rock bands like R.E.M. and 10,000 Maniacs.

Boy ~ talk about bringing back memories. I was just reading an email titled "You might be A Metal Head if:" my friends and I were so into all the 80's metal bands but we had much much love for the Tango cassette. Little Lies and Big Love were always on the radio for quite sometime then we had Rooms on Fire which got alot of airplay.
