Sadly, I actually know the album you speak of, but I do not have it. I do have a 4 disc set called "Tales of the Brother Gibb" and it has all those songs on there such as: "New York Mining Disaster 1941 (Have You Seen my Wife, Mr. Jones?)" "Massachusetts" "To Love Somebody" "I've Gotta Get a Message to You" "I Started a Joke" "Holiday" "Words" and many others...
Lionell richie,(ok not really a band) Roxette Queen And some dutch band/singers(do not hink you all know them) Two Unlimited(ok so they are dutch and i think you do know them)
U2, no surprise. I was like 13 I believe when I really got into them. Had heard their stuff before, but the song from the Batman Forever soundtrack made me a fan and got me interested in listening to all of their stuff again. Honorable mention goes to REM and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Monster and Wildflowers were the first 2 CDs I bought and they are still 2 of my favorite albums of all time.
Grade school (in this order): 50's rock and roll (Splish Splash, Get a Job, Yakety Yak, Charlie Brown, etc.) Elvis Elton John Rod Stewart Michael Jackson (Off the Wall) The popular disco of the day (Bad Girls, We Are Family, etc.) Sugarhill Gang Beatles KISS Junior High: Journey, Foreigner, Rush, AC/DC, etc. High School: A ton of stuff, but mostly The Who then mostly Dylan.
me too! That was more in high school/ early college, though. Elementary school: just listened to the radio, which seemed to play mostly adult contemporary. I remember liking Survivor (the band, not the show). Junior high: kind of enjoyed the 80's hair metal but wouldn't buy it because I came from a strict moral background and thought it might be sinful to buy tapes/CDs of it. (It probably isn't ideal, but oh well... we compromise a lot. We all go to movies that have the same things in them.) Anyway, don't laugh - it's the way I was raised. So, while I could listen to it or tape it off the radio, otherwise it was Debbie Gibson and the New Kids. High school: the B-52's were my favorite for a long time. I liked their energy and weirdness.
When I was in grade school music hadn't been invented yet. Really before 1964 music was crap. Then in 1964 the Beatles hit NY, so by 12 or 13 I was a full tilt Beatlemaniac. I grew my crewcut out into bangs and took a lot of ridicule from my parents and teachers. But it was worth it cause the chicks thought I was cool. I was in High school when the local top 40 radio station organized a Beatle bonfire to burn Beatle records when John said the Beatles were more famous than Jesus. I didn't care though, by then I had moved on to Jimi, Zep and Cream.
I was really into the New Wave stuff like New Order, the Cure, Depeche Mode, etc... But by far my favorite was Erasure. That's so gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I was so into electronic keyboard stuff and I loved everything Erasure came out with. They're no longer my favorite, but I will always be happy when I hear an Erasure song.
grade school??? ah man....I listened to some weird stuff back then Im gonna go with what I liked in the latter years of grade school(early to mid 70s) Elton John Peter Frampton Ohio Players Commodores and was just getting into Rush, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath as I moved on to jr high....in jr high....I was really in to ACDC, Kiss and the ones mentioned above. as I got into high school....I got into more and more heavy metal bands...Priest, Maiden...was also a huge fan of VanHalen from the very first album in 79-80
Wow, so you like Mott the Hoople AND the SWEET - pretty cool. I was just listening to Mott this morning actually.
i got in a big arguement w/ my girlfriend at the time about the words prior to the chorus of "to love somebody." does barry sing "Ba-Beh, You Don't know what it's lahahke..." or Hey BaBeh, you don't know....?"
