    My Dad played Santana and Tangerine Dream. My Mum Joan Armatrading, Van Morrison and John Martyn. And many others. Pink Floyd got played. Joni Mitchel. I stole their records and played them on my own turntable. Then at age 13 I got into Pop. Prince, Michael, Lionel, Eurythmics, Scritti, Zapp, Stevie. Then I got into Grunge and indie. Nirvana, Lemonheads, Huskers.

    Childhood or teenage years?


    If childhood, it would be the Sesame street theme song, or the Star Trek theme actually because that episode with the flying jellyfish is one of the first things I can remember scaring the crap out of me


    If teenage years, well I was 12 years old in 1983, VCRs just started to be somewhat affordable for everyday people just before 1983 so they started popping up every where in depratment and music stores, this was the first really big worldwide music video. Those two things combined meant this was literally everywhere, everytime you walking into a shopping mall there was in each store selling TVs and VCRs, a combo set up in the shopfront playing this:

    So everytime I hear this I think back to packets of sherbert fizz and the lame little ferris wheel on top of the shopping mall near where I grew up



    Edit: Or back to childhood, The Flintstones theme song actually, can still remember every word even though I probably have seen an ep in 30 years

    Whole Lotta Shakin' - Jerry Lee Lewis. First heard it in my parents living room. A couple of my friends were in and as soon as it came on the radio we spontaneously got up and danced. It was so radically different from anything that had gone before - like Teresa Brewer and Perry Como. I was learning boogie woogie and blues piano at the time so good fit with Lewis.

    Hit parade of 1974 is another when I was the overnight radio news guy for a local radio station and on lunch break (3am or so) used to cruise through the suburbs in the station mobile with the windows open and the station playing quietly - moments of peace - moments of bliss

    I remember hearing this song played endlessly on the radio in early childhood. Sitting in drive thrus, strapped in the car waiting for my mom to come out of the store that she was shopping in (I guess you could do that back then, with much less fuss). Driving home from school. Dunno why this song off all of them stuck with me, but it has.

    Also, this song, playing in my father's car on warm weekend days. He went through a phase where he listened to CCR religiously. I like them a lot. Consequently, perhaps:
