Blondie-- Parallel Lines (Deluxe Collector's Edition)

CLASSIC!

Boomerang- The Summer Set

Leave Me Behind- Bauer & Lanford

Got my ear buds in at the school cafeteria listening to:

The Longest Road- Morgan Page(Featuring Lissie on Vocals)

Demons by Imagine Dragons.

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Bahari "Wild Ones"

Shaggy - Oh Carolina

Some Jamaican ska from 1993. If you can figure out the words you're better than me.

  but "Dark Side of the Moon" was their best (and then "Wish You Were Here") 

From my own MP3 album collection (mostly found and downloaded from blogs here'n'there), for the last couple of days/nights I've been listening to my own self-defined genre of "Saturday Morning Bubblegum Rock" that includes albums by:

Alvin and the Chipmunks
The Archies
The Banana Splits
The Groovie Goolies
The Hardy Boys
The Impossibles
Josie and the Pussycats
Lancelot Link and the Evolution Revolution
The Monkees
The Partridge Family
The Sugar Bears

Some great stuff but I have to say I don't consider The Monkees bubblegum.  In my opinion, they are one of the greatest bands ever, and I love the fact they were put together kind of as a bubblegum group but then asserted control and made their own kind of records.

I don't consider the term "bubblegum" derogative or any kind of judgment on the quality of the music. These are all "prefabricated" or fictional bands, dreamed up by record executives or television producers in an attempt to market to a demographic of young viewers/record consumers. Because these producers were well-connected they were able to recruit some extremely talented studio musicians or discover new talent.

The Monkees are great!

I agree with that.  I guess I just think of bubblegum as bands that were studio musicians that didn't really play live or have personnel that everyone would recognize.   The Monkees just seemed out of place in this list.  But the way you explain it, it makes sense.
