All the artists still playing 177

People born in 1987

Our youth partly defines us. The memory of the 'first' stays with us. The first love, the first kiss, the first of anything. The first time we experience the pure bliss of music. Therefore we go back to the music which defined our youth.

We're seeing the dawn of a new millennium, and boy does our entertainment reflect that. The first Harry Potter movie comes out, the first Lord of the Rings movie comes out. Artists who are still relevant today are launching their careers: we're talking Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake in N*SYNC, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé in Destiny's Child, Jennifer Lopez, P!NK and Jay-Z.

The Science of Bucketgigs

The music we hear during our years of firsts stays with us. The music playing during our first kiss, our first love, our first heartbreak is tied to our soul.
