Kevin's Watch

Even if I'm into all sorts of Punk/Hardcore/Crust and whatnot this officialy was the first song I loved when I could hardly walk and I still love it.

This is just adios and not goodbye. See you there, Al.

Post your FIRST fav song. No cheating.

Hey Jude by the Beatles. I got my first record player (yes, I said record player) An oldfashoined box type that opened up and played a single LP (yes I said Lp).

I played Hey Jude over and over and over until my parents tried to put me up for adoption.

Bend It Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick & Tich

I was only 5 when this one was playing on the black'n'white, three channel telly.

...oy vey, am I honestly admitting this?

And yes, this was the first LP I had...

Hotel California by The Eagles. My aunts would play it all the time while I was growing up. I loved it.

This is the earliest song I can remember liking. I must have been all of four years old then......I don't think I've heard it in over 35 years. I'm amazed YouTube even has it.

Oh yeah, and this is the first record I actually went to a record store and bought:

That was actually in the end credits of a Monty Python Flying Circus episode, and I was always wondering if they wrote that or ganked it or what... now I know!

This song was the first I ever claimed was my favorite song. I was fivish, or so, and it continued to be my favorite song through different phases until high school. It's no doubt a foundational reason why I love long, meandering songs today (like Echoes )

One of the purest recorded female voices ever...

WOW...It wasn't until I was seventeen or so when I first took an interest of the Doors,

Good thread!

I don't have sound at work, so I can't confirm 100%, but I looked up the lyrics to find the song. These internets are amazing. And yes, it's on You Tube and it is the look of the 45 I remember. It was from a batch of old 45s my grandmother gave me. I remember the Elvis song Rip It Up as well, but this was the one I especially liked.

Yeah, they'd play it on the oldies station every once in a while... though I always got a little angry when they'd play it without the organ solo in the middle.

For me, it was Herbie Hancock's Rockit. Future Shock was the first album I ever owned at age six, and I still remember walking around my neighborhood pumping out Rockit with a ghetto blaster hooked over my shoulder...good times...

i can remember playing this at pizza hut whenever we would go out to eat. i was obsessed with the song. my parents always gave me money to put in the juke box.

pft. easy!!

I Wanna Hold Your Hand


and when i touch you i feel happy
inside
its such a feeling that my love
i can't hide
i can't hide
i can't hide...

i still feel like screaming when i watch this!!

The first song that comes to mind is Baker Street, but I was 10 when that came out and I know there was earlier stuff.

I vividly remember being in my neighbor's garage listening to Good Times, Bad Times (and being blown away by it) when someone from the Army came to let them know that their son/older brother had been killed in Vietnam. That would have been....'72 or '73.

Great, the link no longer works, and I can't remember which song I posted.
