lilgal231 it's like we had the same childhood. Tradition, Tradition! also rhapsody in blue by gershwin

My earliest music memory was when Dad was in the garage, doing stuff at his workbench, and he was listening to the radio. "Money For Nothing" came on, and my sister and I were dancing and singing along. Now that I think about it, two little girls singing "Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free!" is slightly disturbing.

"I'll try to punk it up next time. Or grow taller." -Ryan

I absolutely love them . . . I guess I thought most would think mixing Kool and the Gang, Ozzy, Dylan and Buffett would make a strange brew. You guys are obviously more open minded than most.

All of those (save Joanna) are still some of my favorites.

Any form of Southern rock and 70's FM was always playing in our house. My dad was also a huge Ziggy Stardust and Frank Zappa fan. It was sort of a mix of the achingly bad, and the totally awesome.

I had two songs though that I tore up when I was a toddler. They were Loverboy's "Turn me Loose," and John Cougar Mellencamp's "Hurts so Good." The funny thing about the Loverboy song is I couldn't say my L's quite yet. I sang it as, turn me noose.

"Small Town" by John (Cougar) Mellencamp. My mom owned a vinyl copy of Scarecrow and my Brother, sister and I would listen to it over and over.

When I was six, my family drove to Florida (from Colorado) to visit family and one of the only things I remember from the drive part of the trip was listening to "Graceland" by Paul Simon and "Nick of Time" by Bonnie Riatt. My mom brought both of the albums on the long trip.
I still love those albums.

Gone so long by Chillwork
Jukebox Hero by Triumph was an early favorite.

somewhat funny story. so in 3rd grade at a Parochial school and we were having a talent show. Lipsyncing was cool that year so everyone was getting their songs picked. I remember coming home and telling my mom that I was going to be in the talent show and we were going to do Centerfold by the J Geils Band. I couldn't figure out why she freaked out for years. Supposed the nuns might not have liked that.
