the earliest music i can remember listening to is probably the beatles, particularly the pre-'rubber soul' stuff. it's good music for little kids.

i also remember a lot of the country music my grandparents listened to when i was little - i didn't care for it then, but i'm terribly nostalgic for it now. they'd listen to a lot of stuff like elvis, johnny cash, tennessee ernie ford, and all the goofy country novelty songs that were popular in the mid '70s like ray stevens stupid stuff like that. my grandparents were always listening to lighthearted, upbeat music.

the first music i CHOSE to listen to as a kid was donna summer, ELO and olivia newton john.

two words...T I N A T U R N E R

i had all her 45" singles and played the f*ck out of them on my fisher price record player.

then...the Pointer Sisters!

also...
MJ
Prince
Madonna
Janet
Huey Lewis
Cyndi Lauper
Sammy Hagar

That it was.

The only problem was that I had to leave early because it was a school night for my son.

He was helping the old man out as my roadie for the night.

I can say Country,Blues,Soul,were the starters for me. there was only one am radio sta. that had a format for blacks and it would end at 6:00 p.m. everyday.
so you either listen to another sta after that are play what records you had at home.

My Grandparents lived in the northern part of Mississippi and when we'd visit they had all kinds of music that they'd order. from gospel, jazz ,blues, soul comedy, country, and my cousin would order the hip stuff. although my grams thought she was hip. she would try to sing James Brown "Sex Machine" but she would sing "Washing Machine." She'd say "like a washing machine" funny shit.

but around 10 i was a fan of all types of shit and still to this day

THE JACKSON 5 !!!!!
everything they made through 1978

the first singer i heard was this spanish(or rather mexican singer) called gloria trevi it was a combination of alice cooper glam rock and madonna sexuality(before the kabbalah)..my parents actually have video of me rocking out to one of her most popular songs "Quiero Tener El Pelo Suelto" or i want to wear my hair long..mind you i was 5 at the time.

exactly... I wouldn't even know where to begin!

Sorry cant remember .....

one of the very 1st songs i remember listening to was the Beatles "Let It Be". it would make me cry. not sure why, but the faucet was on full blast eachtime that song played. but i remember loving it so much.
which, on looking back, is quite odd; since i was never a Beatles fan.
