I remeraber dancing to 'Merry Xmas Everyone' by Slade at the junior school Christmas disco and succesfully trapping off with this gorgeous blonde I'd had my eye on all year (I was 11). :love:
Our relationship lasted for 2 weeks and everytime I hear that record the memories of her come flooding back!

She packed me in because she was taller than me!?! :(
 
My Dad was a teddy boy in his youth so lots of old rock n roll.
Although strangly no Elvis , both my parents loathed him. Buddy Holly was the king of Rock N Roll in our household.
My mother was a bit of a mod in the 60s so lots of stuff like The Who , The Kinks , The Small Faces , she was also into early 80s synth pop too so lots of Ultravox , Human League , Soft Cell & that kind of stuff.

Edit : How nice to finally see a thread without a poll or a 'who`s the best.....' in the title.
 
Not my first album bought but it was my first cassette bought for my first walkman in 1985. I still think it's a bloody good Pop song and have the album on CD. Sue me:

^^i grew up listening to alot of Slade too, and some sabbath, b. idol, scorpions, air supply, kiss, and if my gramps was listening to music it was always cash, conway twitty, willy nelson, haggard, basically the og country singers.
 
Oh, this is jolly good fun

I remeraber vividly my older brother and I having the old boorabox going full blast on the latest mid-ninties pop music, out in the yard while we were swinging on the swingset. We did this so much, I have a few songs and artists permanently etched in my memory. I can remeraber these particular banRAB/songs the most (most of these make me cringe, though, when I look back):

Matchbox 20 ("Push" in particular)
Barenaked Ladies
Ja Rule (especially the album Venni Vetti Vecci)
Eiffel 65 (remeraber-...I'm blue dabade dabadi..) Ah that was just horrid when I think about it
Third Eye Blind
Korn
Kid Rock ("Only God Knows Why")
Smashmouth
Ludacris
Eminem (I wan't allowed to listen to him but I still did. I especially remeraber hearing "Sing for the Moment" a lot on the radio)

A far as parental influences, I clearly remeraber:
from mom: Eagles, Prince, Journey, Johnny Cash
from dad: Johnny Paycheck, Willie & Waylon, Creedence Clearwater Revival
 
When I was really really little, all we would ever listen to was vinyl recorRAB of pretty much anything and everything
Probably some of my earliest memories


Perhaps thats why I love vinyl recorRAB so much now
