your favorite music as a kid - Page 4

OMFG. Check this **** out.

I saw this video once, ages and ages ago, but never saw it again and it never appeared on any of Tom Petty's official VHS or DVD releases, so I seriously thought I had only imagined its existence.

And now that I've seen it again, I'm... I'm speechless. It's so wrong in so many ways. But damn I love this song. Incidentally, the album it's from - Southern Accents - has always been my favorite Petty album. I wore the hell out of that tape as a kid, too.

My first major band obsession was The Cranberries, from around 8 or 9 to 13 or so. The first CD I recieved as a gift was Ace of Base "The Sign" and the first CD I bought was No Doubt "Tragic Kingdom".

Being a little kid in the early 90s, my mom and I would listen to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, R.E.M. etc. She raised me good

I will never forget driving down the road singing "Shiny Happy People", and I always hear her voice doing Kate Pierson's part when I listen to the song

(same with the chorus of "Interstate Love Song").

I got into the Mac and Stevie around 10. Of course I was a total Spice Girls fanatic in the Spice Era- 1998 or so? I loved Alanis Morissette and got into Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Mechant, and other "Lilith"-type fare a few years later. I went through a period in middle school when I listened to really ****ty music like Lincoln Park and Nsync

but my musical tastes were back on track by high school

The first song I ever remember noticing, liking, and buying (by myself, with my allowance) was:

You can imagine my parents' shock when a year or so later, after completely wearing out Debby and the Grease soundtrack, I bought this at the local Kmart:

It's called destiny, kids. You simply can't fight it.

I don't see anything - you got to tell me what they were - lol

and my first four 8-Track tapes that i got (yes 8-tracks. insert old fart joke here) were:
Kiss - Alive
Abba (I don't remember which one i got first actually cos i eventually had them all)
Barry Manilow - Mandy
Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac

yep - kiss, abba, manilow and the big mac -
now that's an upbringing

I was a big Abba fan as a kid. I saw Abba the movie when I was 7!

DavidMn · #58 09-23-2007, 03:17 AM

I'll be ripped for this mercilessly I'm sure, but I was a big Air Supply fan at the age of about oh 8-12 or so.

1997

Spice World was 1998.

My first CD was the soundtrack to Wizard of Oz. Um. Yeah.

My first obsession was the Spice Girls. But everyone knows that. My recent plight is to find my favorite Spice Girls shirt of all time. This is serious.

Even if Geri's photo from that shoot is my favorite.
