Anything by the Backstreet Boys.

I had good enough taste to despise all the white boy bands. Even at 13.

Peter, Paul and Mary (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1VFxA7o4f5E&feature=related), anyone?

This thread is making me feel old! :p

Gag!:D

The first 45 rpm record I ever bought was Emerson, Lake and Palmers "Lucky Man". The heavy Moog synthesized song from about 1970, their first huge hit.

my first record album was KISS Destroyer and it was pretty cool with the wild graphics.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean....

My first date was with a girl to see "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" at the walk-in theater. It was maybe 1969(?). I remember having my arm around her and thinking I had my hand on her left breast, thinking how great this was and then I looked and it was her elbow that gave me a thrill.:(

Kiss is awesome. Man, that is some great head bangin' stuff.

The Kinks (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IMsnqQHOwFg&feature=related)

One of the earliest songs I can remember specifically liking was Willie Nelson's On The Road Again. Weirdly enough, it popped into my head a few hours ago, completely out of the blue.

I had a 45 of Michael Jackson's Thriller one point, as well.

Kinks good. Wfin likes Kinks

Black Sabbath comes to mind for me.

Pheard,

You said "kid". "Kid" is maybe 5-8 years old - not 13. :rolleyes: :p :D

I remember the first 45 rpm record I ever got. Blood Sweat and Tears - "Spinnin' Wheel". The biggie though was The 5th Dimension - "Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine".

You must be as old as I am (age of dirt & dust) with those songs.

I don't know who it's by, but "Cool Jerk." I would always call it "oooooooo-gah."

The first real album that i knew front to back was Dookie by Greenday

The Clash. London Calling (the album) has been forever etched in my brain. I was around 10 or 11.

Beatles...
I saw here standing there..
early Sixties, very early

Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett + the Crypt Kickers

I don't know who it's by, but "Cool Jerk." I would always call it "oooooooo-gah."

The Capitols - yeah I had the 45 rpm - I'm THAT old.

Seriously...Led Zepplin was the first album I can remember. Its one of the benefits of being born 16 yrs after your oldest sister was born.

Sly and the Family Stone got me turned on to music.

My aunt and uncle busted into our house when I was about 8, rearranged our bedroom furniture and set up a wood stereo console, replete with cassette player, turntable, albums, 45's, and cassettes, one of which was ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery".

That was a great Christmas, and did I mention they were my brother's and my favorite aunt and uncle?

BTW, that album cover is an H R Giger.

I still have that LP!

I loved that album as a 13 year old depressive. Now it sounds like pretensious crap.

I will never forget Xmas 1967. I got a Schwinn Stingray, and my sister gto a bunch of albums from our favorite uncle. The best one of all "93 KHJ Boss Golden Hits". Some of the best songs from the sixties. Bought me a copy about 10 years ago. "7&7 Is " by Love was my favorite. Never been another song like it.

Me too. Of course, I was 30 when that particular flavor of idiocy came along.

I guess when I was old enough to have a favorite, it was probably "Pinball Wizard" by The Who. Really it was anything from "Tommy" for obvious reasons I guess. It was old when I was a teenager, but it's what I grew up on. The Who, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, that kinda stuff was what was in the house along with some rather frightening stereo equipment.

The Gambler. Ghostriders in the sky.

2 things stick out, The Empire Brass which my mom got me into and I still enjoy, and Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf. Sadly I didn't get so into Steppenwolf's other songs until about 3 or 4 years ago.

I remember I was around 7 or 8 years old and heard Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" followed by "Foxy Lady" and thought "Wow! Who is that playing that awesome guitar!?" I was a Hendrix fan from that point on. That same year I heard the original Boston record on my older brothers 8 track deck in his car and was again blown away. I played "More Than A Feeling" so many times I could hear it in my sleep. Those were the two earliest memories I have of really being into music. I guess that's why my favorite type of music continues to be rock and melodic hard rock/metal.

Touch my body by Mariah Carey

or

This town ain't big enough for the both of us - the Sparks

My first memory of an album I LOVED is Guns'N'Roses - Appetite for Destruction - more for the album art than the music, though I loved the music.

Starship, We built this City (http://youtube.com/watch?v=TxGGckAc1rs)

When I was a kid I loved this song. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=g5cuXFvPTY8) I played it on my dad's old record player hundreds of times. Kind of strange considering the song is way way older then what most my age would be listening to.

Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (http://youtube.com/watch?v=xbYWkegobTU)

yeah me too....another old hippie child chimes in.

I remember listening to the guitar solo on "Get Together" by the Youngbloods whilst sitting on the school bus in the first grade or so (was the driver Otto from the Simpsons?). Was watching the Monkees on TV around the same time, maybe a few years before......

Paul Simon - Graceland was one of the first albums that really caught my attention. I remember sitting in my room listening to the melody lines and memorizing lyrics for hours on end.

I found Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love" on late night radio. I was hooked. I also remember really liking "Bang a Gong by T Rex. But when I got my first job, my first paycheck went on record albums.

ZZ Top with LaGrange and Aerosmith with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kwctaceDxQ)

Dad had an old Ford Falcon with a reverbarator switch for the radio. I remember running errands with him on Saturday mornings in the early 70s. We would listen to doo wop music on the oldies station. The first song I remember singing along to was Ragg Mopp. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyANRiqzfio)

First Music Vid's I remember seeing on MTV, Centerfold (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wx6t11D99tA), Rock this town (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hHNuY-nptGo). Still great songs after all these years.

When I was little (like 6 or 7) I listened to country music. My record collection (all dozen or so) was things like Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, Charlie Daniels Band, etc. I lived down the street from a dairy farm, a corn/soybean farm, and like most 7 year olds around the neighbourhood I wanted to be a cowboy or a farmer when I grew up.
