I can't say I remember the first song playing on the radio, but this is one of the first songs I remember hearing off of one of my dad's records.



Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

In my case my brother, 15 years my senior, provided the sound of my childhood. My parents were stuck in the 50ies, although they were able to enjoy the milder bands of the 60ies too. Such as the Beatles.

'Twas my older sister who hipped me to Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, both acts before my own time.

I have all forgotten about him. Thankfully he's quiet since the late 70ies. At least the stations don't play him anymore. I think the last time I heard something from him was an anti smoking commercial in the early 80ies. He didn't sing, thankfully, just talk.


Wouldn't be surprised to learn he is still big in the world of soundtracks for elevators.

I'm a 69er, which coincidentally is also the year I was born, so all my upbringing was in the seventies. I don't really have any clear memories of what might have been the earliest song I ever heard, probably something by Suzi Quatro or Queen; maybe Slade. Then again, my Mum is a massive Elvis fan and my Dad is big on Buddy Holly, so all my memory of that period is totally corrupted, musically.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You were born in the 60ies, weren't you? So you should at least have some fleeting memory of what was on the radio back then. Not that Hendrix or Led Zeppelin would have interested me much at the age of four or five. I certainly prefered the more easy on the ears tunes in a manner of speaking.

I made a cassette that included LZ's Whole Lotta Love and Frigid Pink's version of House of the Rising Sun that I listened to on many Friday night runs up to the lake house my aunt and uncle kept at Clear Lake. Good times. Good songs.

Lol legally my name is Amanda but after the 4th grade I gave myself the nickname Mandy and refuse to answer anyone (other than my mom) that calls me Amanda. And yes I took note that Mandy is the first white trash name that Marky says in Ted when guessing the girl's name.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."

I don't recall listening to a lot of radio when I was very young. The first music and song I clearly remember, both came from my parents' album collection....my father's stuff.
