Songs of your childhood

[mustang84]

Everybody has certain songs that mean something to them or are instantly recognizable when they hear them on the radio--even if for the first time in years. What songs defined your childhood and if you have a memory, list it.

Early Childhood

Lionel Richie - Dancin' on the Ceiling

One of my earliest memories is of this song when I was 2 or so. My dad had this CD and would pick me up and tap my feet on the ceiling...I loved it.

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back in Town

I used to listen to the classic rock station a lot when I was little, and this was a song I always heard and liked but could never get fully recorded onto tape from my boombox. It would always come on and I would scramble for a tape, but always seemed to miss the first two minutes of the song.

Def Leppard - Animal

I remember this one mostly because when it first came out in '87, we moved to Kansas for a year and I heard it on our back and forth journeys a lot. I didn't rediscover this song again until high school.

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time

My mom had the CD this song was on and would sing to it all the time when I was a kid.

Starship - Beat Patrol, Girls Like You

This album is pretty much cheesy 80s pop rock, but it's one of those that my parents had and they played all the time. This is the same band that wrote "We Built This City."

Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer

Elementary School / Middle School

Candlebox - Far Behind

Chumbawumba - Tubthumper

One of my friends had this CD and would play this song all the time. I eventually bought the CD thinking I would like it a lot, but I haven't opened the case in about 8 years.

Savage Garden - To the Moon and Back

My girlfriend in middle school liked this song a lot, and I still listen to it occasionally. It has a really great guitar outro at the end.

Guns N' Roses - November Rain

Three words: Middle School dances. This song was almost guaranteed to be played before the night was over, along with Angel by Aerosmith and Is This Love by Whitesnake.

Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline

This song just reminds me of the hot summer afternoons while it was playing on my portable radio.

High School

Whitesnake - Still of the Night

I discoverd this song shortly after rediscovering 80s rock and it was one that I loved to blast on the 10 mile trip out to DI practice late at night.

Filter - The Best Things

I bought the CD this song is on before our DI global finals trip to Ames, and it eventually kinda became my soundtrack for the summer of 2000. It's a CD I still pop into the stereo fairly often.

Van Halen - Hot for Teacher

The guys at the place I worked only listened to Z-92, which was the local rock station that played mostly 70s and 80s rock. I heard this song at least once every other day for an entire summer. Everytime it comes on, I think of my cousin doing air guitar in the box room.

Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour

It's a pretty depressing song, but this was the song that I hit repeat on constantly after my girlfriend broke up with me before summer break my sophomore year.

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

One of my other cousins at work got me on a grunge kick for a while, and I eventually bought the album this song was on. Work was a really big influence on the music I listen to today.

[Cory Wolfe]

Um... I'm not sure. I don't think I remember any. ZZtop songs, I guess, sort of have that as they were almost literally the first band I was ever interested in. Mostly got that off of my dad. Same with Poison and my mom. Otherwise, well... nothing stands out at the moment.

But right now... my obsession is System of a Down. Love 'em. I bought three CDs of theirs already, in the past 5 months or so. Plan to buy atleast two more the next time I'm in Dubois.

[Croc]

f@#k! I forgot to mention Oasis...looooooooove those guys...

[mustang84]

"Gangsta's Paradise"

I completely forgot about that one! Back in 5th grade, I remember one of my best friends back then got the cassette and we were listening to it in his room. It was our first experience with rap music. I remember his parents commenting "I don't know about that kind of music. There's a lot of swearing on that tape." I think that song was the first hip hop experience for a lot of Midwestern kids, because I don't have any memory of anything else from the genre being popular at my school before that song came out.

Also, about the same time, "Spiderwebs" and "Just a Girl" by No Doubt were huge.

[Cory Wolfe]

I just remembered one... Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" in 4th grade, I think.

[LosAngeles]

Well, for me:

Laura Branigan - "Gloria"/Fleetwood Mac - "Don't Stop Thinkin' About Tomorrow": Takes me to a Sunday morning where I'm waiting in mom's 74 Camaro while she goes inside the Ralphs around the corner from the house. This was 1982, and I was six years old with a cold.

That Olivia Newton John song from the movie Xanadu: I'm about 4, probably being picked up from preschool, going home with my dad driving the Camaro.

If I were to her those songs, those immedite memories would come to mind.

More later.

On my trip to Maryland today, I got to listen to my favorite radio station, and I learned that they're now online, streaming audio. I love the music so much, I'd move back down there just to be able to listen all the time. It's WHFS, 105.7. Insane? Give it a listen:

I would have to agree with a good bit of that...

Explianing my music is tough, beacause I have always listened to just about everything....

Though "Ride the Train"-Quad City DJs brings back good times....

or "Baby I love your way"-Big mountain...

BSB, 'Nsync, 98*s, LFO lol I forgot about all them (and now I don't mind listening to any of 'em.. huh. lol)

Allll the oldschool stuff from the early 90s. Plus Tootsie Roll and that style ishhh.

[Sixty8panther]

The Beatles... pretty much anything from the Beatles.

also

Remember I lived in Slovakia untill 1987 so there's other stuff you guiys have never heard of and never will.

[ocnblu]

Slovakia? Isn't that on the outskirts of Barnstable?

[Enzora]

Can You Feel the Love Tonight--The Lion King came out when I was in third grade, the same year that a good friend of mine died. For an end of year assembly honoring "Academic Allstars" we had to sing that, and then our principal gave a little speech in memory of her. Since then, I've kind of always associated the two, so that song has always had much more meaning to me than any other song of my youth.

[Croc]

Ride the train! Yes!

Genie In A Bottle?

Listening to older Aerosmith brings back memories of riding around in mom's baby blue on baby blue '79 Monte Carlo AND triple yellow '85 Eldorado when I was but a wee lad. Tom Petty reminds me of the interesting places dad would take me after school in his copper on top and bottom with cream in the middle '87 GMC Sierra Classic. Other than that, most all the bands/songs/albums you guys have a place somewhere in my growing up, except for the weird Slovakian crap Sixty8's referring to.

OMG, this is terrible, but not really, I feel fortunant to have seen pretty much the entire rock revolution, excluding the beginning like Elvis, Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis and such, but still they were played over AM radio at the time, just oldies already. We called it "greaser music". I mean AM transistor pocket radios were pretty much new when I was youngster

Anyhow I saw the Beatles and Stones on Ed Sullivan, I actually remember well and not because of reruns or footage replayed for documentaries, though it has helped bring me back. I remember the insane screaming and wondering what the problem was But Ed was a Sunday night ritual.....across America

I remember bubble gum like how about Tommy James & Shandells - Crimson & Clover, Crystal Blue Persuasion, Mony Mony, I Think We're Alone Now, Sweet Cherry Wine, Hanky Panky, Good Lovin all big time radio play when I was about 8-10 years old. Crystal Blue still has a strong pull on me on a beautiful spring day I must admit.

Then came CCR, James Gang, Blood Sweat & Tears, Guess Who "American Woman", Steppenwolf, how about ?? Inagoddadivida "One" Three Dog Night is an old favorite of mine.

Then I found out about Jimi just before he died and my tastes got even heavier/deeper, I was about 12.

Never really liked the Doors or the Beatles or the Stones, certain selections but that was about it.

Then came Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Humble Pie, Uriah Heep, Sabbath, AeroSmith, Jethro Tull, I also was and still am a big fan of early Billy Joel, such a clever lad he was....."Angry Young Man" "Captain Jack"

I know I named more bands than songs but by that time we really did listen to entire albums or 8 tracks and pop radio songs seem more forgetable, until you hear them again.

Stevie Wonders "Sir Duke" had substantial impact in its day.

Then came "Night Fever" and pop radio was not in my vocabulary, by that time I was 17 - early 20's and into "Fusion" which was like Jeff Beck "Wired" or "Blow by Blow", Billy Cobhams "Spectrum", Al Di Meola, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dixie Dreggs, Jean Luc Ponty. We also listened to Rock like Crack the Sky, Rush, Kansas, then more commercial like Boston, the Cars, the Tubes, Talkin Heads......but that was my friends and the radio ....not me.

Jeez, I'd have to dig deep for these. Nothing really special; 229 V6 with a good amount of options. I'll take a look for you, though.

[76ChevyTrucker]

Unfortunately no songs in particular really bring things to mind, like good memories or anything like that unless you want to get into stuff like theme music from tv shows and stuff. But as far as music is concerned, George Jones, Charlie Daniels Band, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, Confederate Railroad, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Beethoven, Tu Pac, Aaron Tippin, Quad City DJs, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Creed, Diamond Rio, Rolling Stones, Beattles, Steppenwolf, Led Zepplin, Def Leopard, Pink Floyd, Lee Greenwood (God Bless the USA in particular), Ray Stevens, Hank Williams Jr, Hank Williams Sr, Tracy Byrd, Big & Rich, Travis Tritt, Randy Travis, Three Dog Night, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Doobie Brothers, ZZ Top, Kentucky Headhunters, Brooks & Dunn, Santana, Tracy Lawrence, Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, The Doors, Bob Seger, Godsmack, Trapt, Staind, The Bellemay Brothers, Cledus T. Judd, Dire Straits, Alice in Chains, Bad Company, John Michael Montgomery, Toby Kieth, George Strait, Montgomery Gentry, The Eagles, No Doubt, Trace Adkins, Seether, Deirks Bentley, 3 Doors Down, Nickelback, Stone Sour, Uncle Kracker, Van Halen, Tony C & The Truth, and a bunch more, but my wife is rushing me off the computer and to bed with her, so I'll be back and add more and more and more, since i listen to more music than most of y'all can shake a stick at.

Man, KnightFan, Razor and 76ChevTruck are really into their music and remember it all.

I went through an awareness period in my teens and then faded out of an interest in music. However, those that made an impression were largely disco/dance music (ok, shoot me now) with:

Donna Summer "MacArthur Park" (long version with the extended instrumental)

Laura Branigan "Gloria" (also mentioned by L.A.) - "will you marry for the money, take a lover in the afternoon, feel your innocence slipping away, don't believe it's coming back soon" These ladies belt out this incredibly raw energy and it's good $h! to drive to when I hear it nowadays. By the way, Laura Branigan died last year from an aneurysm at age 47 in her Long Island home.

Also, really like(d) the unmistakable interesting and somewhat peculiar voice of Boz Scaggs with stuff like "Lido Shuffle" and "It's Over"

Then really like(d) Tina Turner for many of the same reasons, an unmistakable raunchy and sensual voice, best exemplified in the title cuts to "Private Dancer" and "Break Every Rule"

Nowadays, I listen almost exclusively to jazz. Actually, there is a similarity in that jazz and disco both rely heavily on the instrumental portion to carry the piece.

There were a lot of people in L.A. who despised disco. In fact, some made stencils of the word "DISCO" and plunked it on stop signs, so as to say "STOP DISCO."

Gloria Gaynor: "I Will Survive"

I was looking at my music collection and most of the artists are African-American.

In fact, in the mid 90s, I went to visit a friend in Sacto and we went to "America Live" (a tacky now defunct complex in a shopping mall) and there was a dee-jay giving stuff away if you identified songs first. A couple of notes blared out.

Me: Evelyn Champagne King !!!!!!!! (the song was "Shame")

2 black couples next to me: Evelyn Champagne King !!!!!!! (1/2 second later)

DJ gives me a t-shirt.

2 black couples next to me: Hey, we got the name, right, wassup wid dis?

Did you hear that song Boz Scaggs did ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO ? All I can think is Miss Riddle. I remember all that old R&B from those days too, some really good stuff..

How about War

spill the wine

I recently saw footage of Robert Cray, we went to see him for his Strong Persuader tour, man that guys got somethin. It might be blues, which I love anyhow but his voice is so clear, pure and expressive, and theres no missin his pickin. In fact I have the album right here and kinda bummed I cant play it.......like who has a turntable anymore ? We do, but who has a needle ?

Edit: Strong Persuader was 1986 ........that was 20 years ago ????

I don't like recent Boz Scaggs stuff. The voice isn't as slick and velvety as it was when he was in his prime and the instrumental parts are weaker. He now shows up at Konocti Harbor on Clear Lake CA, at Caesars Tahoe and at the Nugget in Reno. I doubt if he fills up the place, but I would go.

Is that what he is, R&B? I would have thought just basic pop.

[knightfan26917]

Man, KnightFan, Razor and 76ChevTruck are really into their music and remember it all.

Oh, I wouldn't say I remember it all. In fact, when I was out west in October 2004 and heard the all-classic country station in New Mexico ... I was blown away by the songs I remembered, but had forgotten....

Heh, even last week, on the way to work, I heard a song from Rosanne Cash that I had forgotten about ... yet remembered by the time I heard the chorus.

As for that list ... I have a list of songs that mean something to me ... and I keep adding to it as I hear songs .

[sciguy_0504]

Pretty much the Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, NSTINK or Britney Spears. I don't remember NKOTB or the rap phase of the early to mid-90's.
