Well as a child I was inflicted stuff like Richard Clayderman or Nana Mouskouri by my parents so...

I also listened to everything that was on the "Top 50" and radios (and in the 80s nearly everything was awful, except for a few bands like Depeche Mode, U2 or The Cure).

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with Nana Mouskouri.

I don't know why but I hated her looks rather than the music.

My parents were most definitely hippie weirdo freaks at that time though, so I guess there are still a few differences between us.

The soundtrack cassette in my dad's converted-for-living Dodge Tradesman 200 (with real cedar paneling for the interior - smelled really good) when we moved across the country in 1976 (and back again two years later) consisted largely of the Moody Blues' "In Search Of The Lost Chord" and "On The Threshold Of A Dream," both of which also share a special place in my heart and home, and probably represent the beginnings of my interest in Mystical Shit With Mellotrons. My dad is pretty "cosmic" and would try and enlighten me on the over-arching themes in music like this. I know now just how pompous and overblown this stuff is, but I still like it even so.

Makes perfect sense really, despite Nilson being a folk rock wanker, that album was all about telling kids it'd be alright to check out the Butthole Surfers, Throbbing Gristles and Cabaret Voltaire a decade later. Lets here it for the round heads.

Got it. The image couldn't be hotlinked:

Lots of my mum's records, mostly stuff from the 50's and early 60's. But this one was always a favourite:

I heard each of these albums at least 200 times:

Depeche Mode - Some great reward (first time at age of 6)
The Cure - Disintegration (at 7)
Radiohead - The Bends (at 15)
Gomez - Bring it On (at 16)
Goldie - Timeless (at 16)
Stereolab - Dots and Loops (at 16)

Before elementary school I wasn't even aware that popular music existed. I listened to a lot of Raffi.

first record i ever got.

The first album I ever loved was the BeeGees 'Still Waters'. When I was 9 it had such a huge effect on me. Later it was SOAD's 'Toxicity' and The Smashing Pumpkins' early records that got me into rock music. My favourite records at this point are probebly 'Daydream Nation', 'The White Album' and 'Spiderland'
