What's your first memory of rock & roll? (Rocknroll Talk Post)

Eklek says...

Remember (rock'n) rolling on the carpet when I was little, listening to Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino etc. / mixed with The Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd and Yes..

Fats Domino - "Ain't That A Shame"

Octopussy says...

>> ^kronosposeidon:
^41, if you must know. I just like some of the old stuff.


Well, I'm not going to tell you mine (woman's privilege, sorry), but has anybody ever worked out what us sifter's average age is...? Or don't we want to know & pretend to be young & post old music stuff as "vintage" ;-)?

Cheap Trick "Aint That A Shame" (1979)

Some of my parents records that I liked:

-Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream (I can't tell you how many hours I stared at that album cover)
-Nat King Cole
-John Denver
-Kenny Rogers
-Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water - I practically memorized every word to every song on that album, because it had the lyrics on the back
-LOTS of traditional Irish music records. My dad's parents were both from Ireland. The Irish Rovers were one of his favorites.
-Dean Martin

Ditto! Just replace Styx with Jethro Tull and Kansas with Motorhead, Maiden, and Priest. Prior to that it was my parent's records, Fats Domino, Beachboys, and Johnny Cash.

Did you ever have an extension cord for those big puffy cans? I had a 25-foot extension cord for my phones, so that I could wander all over my bedroom while I rocked out on "Glass Houses", my very first vinyl record. Followed by:

2. Styx - Paradise Theatre
3. AC/DC - Back In Black
4. Styx - Grand Illusion
5. Rush - Moving Pictures
6. Pink Floyd - The Wall
7. Van Halen - I
8. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Pink Floyd - Meddle
10. Kansas - Leftoverture
11. Pink Floyd -Wish You Were Here
12. Rush - Permanent Waves

And the rest are kind of blur after that, but those were my first 12 disciples. I'll always remember.

You may be right, I may be crazy.

Nor did I fall asleep every night wearing big puffy headphones with the curly cord listening to an 8-track copy of Songs From the Attic that I bought at Bradlees with my lawn-mowing money. If you ever hear this rumor it is a complete fabrication.
