So, it's funny, but when I was young (as in below the age of 7), I had a better taste in music than I did when I was like 10, haha. I had two songs that I just absolutely loved.

 

Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey

 

Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home

 

What songs did you obsess over when you were little? And I mean really young, like below 7.

From the age of 5 right up til I was about 11 or 12 my favourite song was Bohemian Rhapsody. Absolutely loved it with the video and everything. I think it was near on my first musical memory although I do remember Rebel Rebel by Bowie as it was used in a perfume ad at around the same time.

Elaine Paige & Kenny Rogers :puke2: I used to listen to them when I was very young mainly coz my parents did!

Between 3-5, I was mainly influenced by my mother's favourite music which included: The Beatles, Elton John, Queen, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Roxette amongst many others.

Some of the songs that remind me of when I was very little are:

 

Madonna - Gambler

Michael Jackson - Bad

Elton John - Club At The End Of The Street/Healing Hands

Queen - The Show Must Go On

Roxette - Dangerous

Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers - Swing The Mood :rofl:

i likes the shadows,... 'apache', 'wonderful land', 'atlantis'... those were the first ones i remember liking, but when the beat boom hit the mid 60's i liked most of it...owt by the beatles, stones, kinks, who, yardbirds etc etc.. i LOVED 'keep on running' and still do, i never tire of that BRILLIANT pop song :)

There is video footage of me dancing to ‘Madness’ when I was about 6, though this is not available on ‘Youtube’.

lol I am only 21, but when I was like four I was way obsessed with the whole "Kaleidscope World" album by Swing Out Sister... and still do this very day love that album in its entirety. Really there are so many artists/songs I could list but I'd be typing all day.

I remember liking Debbie Gibson's "Shake Your Love" at a young age..at a really young age, Alvin and the Chipmunks and The California Raisins. :rofl:

Fave songs when I was younger (before 7 yrs old) :dance:

 

1. The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make

2. The Clash - Should I Stay Or Should I Go

3. New Order - Blue Monday

4. Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

5. The Cure - Lovecats

At the age of 9-10 I used to love everything by The Sweet , Slade , Gary Glitter, The Glitter Band , Mud , T Rex , Wizzard , The Rubettes & ELO.

At the school discos you were cool if you liked Gary Glitter .

 

Below 7?

 

Probably these

 

Mud - Tiger Feet

Brotherhood Of Man - Save Your Kisses For Me

Peter, Paul & Mary - Puff The Magic Dragon

 

Shawn Colvin - Sunny Came Home

 

I used to (and probably still do) LOVE this song. You continue to surprise me.

 

I was really into Adam and the Ants and Shakin' Stevens as a wee one. Also really liked Buck's Fizz, Tight Fit doing The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth and, for some reason, The Shuffle by Van McCoy. I think a lot of these were probably sung by Floella Benjamin and Brian Cant on Playaway.

I remember loving Popcorn by Hot Butter when I was a wee little one

 

When I was like 10 or so, this was my fave song

 

 

I remember that on Christmas 2000 I saw the video for the first time on TV, and my reaction was WOW this video is the best video ever :lol:

I still think that Don't Tell Me is one of Madge's greatest tracks, I think I was impressed by the cowboy style dancing in the video too although it looks rather tame now.

 

 

The song I remember loving as a child was Together In Electric Dreams by Giorgio Moroder & Phil Oakey (and I still love it now! :D ) - I must have had a thing for them as my parents bought me Don't You Want Me when I was about 1 as they discovered I stopped crying whenever the song was played on the radio... apparently they've heard that song more often than any other now!

 

I liked the following when around 9/10:

 

 

I was very happy it got to #1 as I was so bored of that Wet Wet Wet song being number one for about 16 weeks. I even bought her album!! It wasn't that bad and she had a gorgeous ballad called "Close to you".

 

Other songs from when I was younger:

 

Whitney Houston - "I Will Always Love You"

Shakespere's Sister - "Stay"

 

Plus, this might be bizzare for a ten year old but I LOVED "No More I Love You's" by Annie Lennox. I was always upset every Sunday that she didn't beat Celine Dion off the top as it was #2 for a few weeks. My Dad even bought me the CD "Medusa" which I used to play a lot!!

 

 

Shanice - "I Love Your Smile"

 

 

My Dad played a lot of Meatloaf, Queen, Guns N Roses, Poison and all the big rock bands of the time, so this rubbed off and I am a fan of all those mentioned. I was even upset when Freddie died although I was around 7 then. I remember my Dad treating it like a member of the family died!

 

By the time I was leaving primary school coming into secondary, I was mad on Gina G's "Ooh Ahh Just A Little Bit" and developed into the Spice Girls craze!
