For me it was this ;

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OKCdhd2rL2o

It bugged me for years until I found out what it was, it was the sitars in the music that brought it all back, Donovan.

Now  I am trying to work out the hidden message

Status: offline 		I remember my dad listening to Gordon Lightfoot on the 8-track in our car as a very young child.  "Sundown" and "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"  stick out in my memory the most.  I still like Gordon Lightfoot; he's a great singer and songwriter. 

My mom was a Bee Gees and Abba fan.  As dorky as it is, I like this Bee Gees song.  and I like a couple of Abba songs especially Waterloo
 
I remember all of those songs from a very young age.  About the only other song that I remember better from that age is this one:

I LOVE that song!

I guess you and I are the "old timers" here.  I was pretty young in the 50's & early 60's, but I did have my very own older Transistor Sister http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzFsVBOMBqo  so I heard all the early ones.  How about the Everly Brothers, Rick Nelson, and Richie Valenz?  I don't think they wrote any "bad" songs back then, including ones like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXp0i7Y1eVo or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXn7e5TqQzs

Thank you, it was when I rediscovered this song six years ago, I was so entranced by Donovan's music, I did acquire a fair few albums, including some of his newer stuff and it was interesting to note, he hadn't changed much, '' Sutras'' was good.

Status: offline 		As a child, I heard a lot of country & western music played by my mother. My father used to listen to Dean Martin all the time. My older sister used to listen the The Osmond Brothers. The sound of her and her female friends squealing as Donny Osmond spoke the words: "You lied when you said you loved me." in whatever song it was is still burned into my memory to this day. God help me!
Then, when I was about 13 years old, my life changed. My older brother came home with "KISS: ALIVE" and that was it. I was hooked! I always liked music but after that something changed in me. Music has been a major passion in my life from that day to the present, some 31 years later. I listen to it, I create it, I perform it, it's a part of who I am.

Status: offline 		As a young child I would often hear my dad singing along in a fine baritone to Roy Orbison.  Now he's a lot older and not so well, even hearing this song can sometimes bring me to tears, remembering those days when he was fit and healthy and pain-free.

The very first record I ever bought out of my pocket money was this one by Gerry Rafferty.  Still sends shivers up my spine when I hear it!

Status: offline 		I grew up going to folk festivals where my dad would jam with all the professionals. I remember being on Pete Seeger's Sloop Clearwater when I was 4. I could sing bluegrass harmony in thirds from the time I was three.
 
The first song I remember hearing on AM radio that knocked me down with the possibilities of pop, was (much to my adult dismay) "Brandy" by Looking Glass.

I might have been 12. By the time I was 13, it was all Beatles and Stones.
