Patchoulia Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I remember my first favourite song ever being "The Unicorn" as performed by the (then still) Irish Rovers. I was 3 or 4, I think. One of my first favourite "pop" songs (though I can't swear it was first) was "It's Still Rock 'n' Roll to Me" by Billy Joel. I loved that Glass Houses album.

Basher Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm quite certain my first favourite song was on an Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas record. Either that or something from Annie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 That's awesome Schwa--I loved that song, too. One of my favourite K-Tel albums as a kid was "The Big Surf Sound". My friends and I did an air-band routine to Help Me Rhonda.Wow, haven't thought about that in YEARS! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I can't really remember what my first favourite song was since I started to listen and get interested in pop/rock and folk music at a real early age, something like age 5. Some songs that I can remember loving in the early 70's were (My parents bought me the Red Album): "Help", "Paperback Writer", "Yesterday"; (I also had High Tides and Green Grass) "I Can't Get No Satisfaction", "Get Off Of My Cloud" and my parents liked Peter, Paul and Mary, so I tried not to cry when I heard "Puff The Magic Dragon".I also liked air jamming to "Over The Hills and Far Away" with older friends of mine who had older brothers, hence the Zeppelin interest.

Velvet Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 My first favourite song initially charted fifty years ago today - Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry.When I was six I sat down and wrote my first ever fan letter. It began, "Dear Mr. B. Goode..."My mom explained to me that there was no such person and thus was my first musical illusion shattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentlemonkey Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 My dad bought a jukebox full of 45s when I was 3; which really made me a music lover early on. My first favourite tune would be one of these three: (Wish I could fly like) Superman- The Kinks One way, or Another -Blondie Don't bring me down- ELO Still some of my favourite music!

AWeeJig Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The one song that sticks out as the first to be overplayed was my 45' was, You're A Strange Animal - Gowan.The Genesis - Invisible Touch followed soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 the entire grease soundtrack. I didn't know you were gay!I stood up and sang "We're Not Going To Take It" by Twisted Sister in church when I was three, so I guess I really liked that song. I do remember singing it in Daddy's T-bird. We were such a quintessential eighties family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainsunshine Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 The Who - Boris the SpiderI thought it was great.. My parents played music nonstop while I was growing up, and they sure turned me onto some great music.. I also LOVED Bob Marley, and had a poster of him on my bedroom wall by age 9..
