Re: Do you like the Beatles?
also, my first tape was Europe's The Final Countdown. Man, I have great taste in music.
My first cassette was Thriller. My first CD was the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. I still have it somewhere. Along with a large collection of The Party CD's.
My parents limited my music purchases when CD's first came out to only those recorded in DDD sound. My parents are dorks.
Yes to Billy Joel, Simon & Garfunkel, and Queen.
I have always been drawn to artists/groups that have more focus on vocals than instruments. Any sort of "jam band" eventually drives me crazy. My first non-kids' music memories are of my dad playing me cassettes of the Chiffons, the Shirelles, The Four Seasons, and Little Anthony and the Imperials. My mother favored Johnny Mathis and Julio Iglesias (maybe her genes led to my Michael McDonald fascination).
I think the first cassette singles I bought were The Sign and Life Is a Highway.
My first tape was Barbie and the Rockers. Or Culture Club's Karma Chameleon, if you don't count Barbie. I don't own many CDs, but I think my first one was probably Boys II Men. I made a lot of mix tapes from the radio.
I like Queen, love Simon & Garfunkel, and Billy Joel (also walked down the aisle to him). I don't know much beyond the super overplayed stuff though because, as I said, my parents had really nerdy taste in music. As a kid, I remember dancing to Peter, Paul & Mary, the score to West Side Story, and Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond singing You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore. My parents didn't play much music though, so I missed out on a lot.
My older sister owned two tapes -- Thriller and Blondie. Listening to these over and over and Over and OVER when we were on our family vacations in the motorhome made me hate them both pretty intensely. We also listened to the soundtrack from Annie and the 1812 overture a lot, but I don't think I'd ever tire of either of those.

Did you know Brian May recently finished his phd in physics? Then wrote a book about the history of the universe? Feel inadequate yet?
"The meek shall inherit the earth" isn't about children. It's about deer. We're all going to get messed the fuckup by a bunch of cloned super-deer.- samfish2bcrab
Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I like pretty much everything mentioned in this thread, except (most) jam bands. If it's not country, I'm a-okay.
I do not understand how someone couldn't like Queen. Or Prince. Does not compute.
The nerve!

And Jimmy Buffet apparently had magical calming powers over me when I was a baby. Which I think is strange
Also also I still have a deep and fiery love for Bon Jovi. I have memories of my 3-year-old self, unable to pronounce R's (or most words in general) correctly, belting out "shockala heart" at the top of my lungs. If you don't like Bon Jovi then YOU give love a bad name
We'll always have our love for the 90's, Bethie.
T's all time favorite band is Pink Floyd. Fact: he saw the onesie that Katie's little one is wearing in her sig in Target and bought it for our future spawn. He's really into jam bands and funk too. I can only take so much of that though. I need music with lyrics.

I walked down the aisle to a string quartet playing "Here, There, and Everywhere" and we recessed to "Got to get you in to my life" and the guests exited to "All you need is love".
Yeah, we're big fans.
