Your very first song.

[Spearman]

Help Is Its Way by LRB and the Overture to the Barber Of Seville thanks to an opera head dad.

Actually I had heard the Barber very early as well. Though through a slightly different medium I would guess

 

[WireHawk]

In 1968 3XY used to play two songs back to back every night for a week.
I heard 'All Along The Watchtower' by Jimi Hendrix and 'White Room' by
Cream. That was it for me. I loved those songs and still do.

[SugarShane]

First song I really remember loving is Black or White by Michael Jackson. That riff had me hooked.

 

[VicPark Bitter]

my first memory of music is undoubtedly the opening theme of the daily John Laws show on morning radio in the early 70s.

 

[Plugger35]

Being a little kid in the 70s this song reminds me of that time.

 

[raskolnikov]

Like Roobs321 I grew up in a very religious family so my first exposure to music were Christian kids songs. Songs like:



These days I prefer Nirvana's cover.




In terms of non-religious music not sure exactly of the exact first but I remember these from an early age.

 

[Fossie 32]

Mum and Dad liked Dean Martin, Roger Miller, Val Doonican, Glen Miller, Seekers etc. My grandmother liked classical music, Russ Conway, the famous musicals but also Elvis!

Telstar [1962] was the first of Mum and Dad's that I remember really liking, capturing the magic of the early days of space travel. The first one they bought me was Mr. Tambourine Man [1965]. The first I bought myself was Let's Hang On [1965]. I still have them all.

 

[No eye deer]

Have all sorts of memories, but thinking about it, I was putting on a Buddy Holly record of my dads on a little turntable by myself, when I was 4 or 5, so maybe that….

 

[Bostonian]

The family record player was in the sun room that was right next to my bedroom so when the old man would get on the piss and start playing records at night I'd have it coming through my walls.

Can't recall exactly which one of these songs it was but it was one of them.

Rhythm guitar by George Bellamy who is the father of Muse's Matt Bellamy.

My uncle had a bunch of old posters up on his wall at my Grandmothers that she never took down from the 60's (this was in the 80s).

One of them was the Tornados so always loved that song.

Those bring me back, mid 70s, junior high school.

could add Jim Croce


song great songs from that era, maybe not edgy but some could be evocative.
Wichita Lineman gives me visions of those endless roads on the great plains with the old sort of telephone poles running alongside.


Gordon Lightfoot, great, great voice. Edmund Fitzgerald hit a chord for me, spent a lot of time up on the shore of Lake Superior as all my family come from up there.

[LeakyValve]

Gordon was/is a great balladeer.

His "If You Could Read my Mind" runs the risk of being sappy and mawkish, but the combination of his voice and the
cadence of the song really lifts it above the ruck of the easy listening genre.

When I was young, for some truly obscure reason, always mixed Gordon and Johnny Horton up. Maybe their sunk ship songs.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

My dad always preferred classical music, but my mum enjoyed a wide variety of music. Some of my earliest memories of listening to music in the early 1980s include listening to Hot August Night by Neil Diamond, Suspicious Minds by Elvis Presley and Air Supply (probably their most well-known songs, like Without You and All Out of Love).

The oldest son of friends of my family was into Pink Floyd and Metallica and Melissa Etheridge and we used to listen to them when we'd go to his parents' house for dinner and we would be excused from the dinner table. Not really a fan of either Metallica or Melissa Etheridge, but I still love Pink Floyd to this day.

 

[citizen-erased]

Matter of trust i think. That one, two. One two three four intro.
Poison by alice cooper is the one I remember grabbing me the most early on.

 

[Plugger35]

 

[Gough]

Friend of mine used to manage the Noah's Ark a long since closed gay bar in Windsor and Elton John used send emissaries there to pick out twinks to take his place for "parties".

 

[pjcrows]

 

[mellowyellow]

I thought this was the most wonderful track of my fledgling life in 71 and the track that stands out from memory

 

[Cuzz09]

My earliest music memories are watching video hits on Sat morning. Michael Jackson thriller scaring us lol and random "moo moo land" songs by KLF

parents also listened to talk back so didn't really get into much music

good times

[BringouttheGimp]

Pasxalis Terzis - Dikaioma mou.

Still used it as motivational music when I was playing soccer.. running in the mornings.. in the gym.. etc.

One of my ol' time favs.

 

[the_interloper]

Money For Nothing was probably my first favourite song, must have been about 5.

My son's first favourite was Stargazer, I feel like this would be a cool one to have
