Tommy James, especially this song

I also learned some of Scott Joplin's Ragtime songs which eventually led me to learning about the Blues, Jazz, R&B, Motown and Funk.

not to hijack but... quote: Some of the first songs I learned to play on the piano were showtunes. speaking of piano, did you know that Liberache was great on the piano, ...........but he sucked on the organ? [:D] sigh, just had to.

Reading the rest of this thread is bringing back even more memories.., How many of you remember this by Mary Hopkin? Or Mardo Gras singing this Marvin Gaye number? Who can remember The Move singing this? Or the Archies singing this? I can also recall Middle of the Road singing this. This song by the Pipkins used to crack me up. And then there was Mungo Jerry with this. The video on Youtube gives you a reminder of the fashions at the time.

Love Will Keep Us Together...Captain and Tennille....Everytime I went to my brothers house, I'd have to hear it. Finally his wife just gave it to me.

I remember peaking on the continental divide near Pike's Peak after getting out of jail for hitchhiking. Had fasted for 3 days. Two German freaks turned me on to some Czech stuff.

Now that's going down memory lane as I remember listening to most of those! Sheesh...does mean I'm getting old?

MisterMonster -> RE: Reminiscing about music (12/17/2008 6:08:19 PM)
When my mom and her then boyfriend Marky rode around in the car and had me in the backseat, they'd listen to a lot of K-ROQ. And the popular song those days was Nine Inch Nails' "Fuck you like an Animal". That, and most of Nirvana, and Sublime...that was what music was to me as a child.

DrkJourney -> RE: Reminiscing about music (12/17/2008 6:13:47 PM)
Probably was something before this, but I remember as a little girl cablevision would show the same movies for a week. Usually about seven each day a different time. They showed "A Hard Day's Night"....I fell in love with the Beatles and their music. Loved them every since.

That's funny...just last night I was on Youtube watching an old video of "Please Please Me". I'll never get tired of those old songs. I think "All You Need is Love" is such an awsome song. Here a linky!

Man...now my music introduction seems lame.

I went to see Mary Hopkins with my family at the London palladium. I remember her on opportunity knocks! The Archies and Sugar Sugar was or is one of my all time favourites as we learned a dance called the slosh and it used to play two or three times per class. Another one I love but hasnt been mentioned yet, is This by Norman Greenbaum and This by BookerT and the MGs Oh I could go on for hours, but nuff said I like this Thread:) Lucy

MarsBonfire -> RE: Reminiscing about music (12/17/2008 7:36:03 PM)
Most rock and pop passed by me without little or no influence... I listened to the usual Beatles, and Stones, and other Pre-disco rockers... nothing really turned me on. Then, I think it was in '74 or '75... When I was just starting High School...Saturday Night Live had just premired... and they hosted a young lady named Kate Bush, who sang this song, "The Man With the Child in His Eyes" while lying atop a piano.... I haven't been the same since.

Are you sure we weren't seperated at birth?

I was thinking they were both on the same 8 track, but I admit many moons have passed since then, so I could be wrong...lol.

Wow....and they said that stuff would kill your memory, apparently not huh? All I recalled was it was probably the first time I picked up a guitar, of course it took another 30 years to actually learn how to play one...lol.

stella41b -> RE: Reminiscing about music (12/18/2008 10:23:35 AM)
One of the most memorable years of my life was 1981 when I was 15 - the riots in the North of England, running away from home, and generally getting up to no good. I got to know some bikers (man I love bikers, bikers rock) and they shaped my early tastes in music, my first single I ever bought was the Ramones My Sharona, my first album was Motorhead's 'Bomber' which included this and inspired me to pick up a guitar. My next album was Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell, and I bought simultaneously two 12 inch singles. The first was Motorhead's City Kids, and the second was Jimi Hendrix's Red House. But then I also discovered a record company too, and if there was ever one record label which influenced my teenage years (besides the rock) it would have to be Trojan Records, with artists like The Pioneers, and such stuff as Liquidator by Harry J. All Stars, Pied Piper by Bob and Marcia, and others. How many of you remember Quantum Jump singing this? Or Jilted John singing this? But for a blast from the past how many of you can remember this? Or this? Or this?
