I actually got here because I’m looking for the album that Alyannah Myles’s Black Velvet is on just becaused someone sent it to me and I’m a freak bout organizing my itunes library. You folks came up in my Google Search. Sad, no?

This thread is really cool tho and so I’m going to date myself here and list the first few major songs for me.
Copacabana by Barry Manilow,
Brothers and Sisters from the Free to be You and Me soundtrack
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Baba O’Reilly by The Who
The first three I heard when they originally came out.

If I had to guess, Matt, I’d say it was John Stamos’s epic bongo-playing that drew you into the song.

Also, I really liked "Damn Yankees" when I was younger. I possessed no knowledge of real metal during my junior-high years, but I thought Damn Yankees were the pinnacle because they played metal that, in my mind at least, put girls in the mood to make out. I always managed to cling to that hypothesis despite the fact that playing "High Enough" at dumb junior-high parties never garnered me any hot-n-heavy face-time out behind the garage.

P.S. I promise to read the initial thread entry all the way through before posting in the future. Promise.

We sang Kokomo as a group one year with Scouts…probably the first "grown up" song I ever knew all the words to…IIRC there were choreographed hand movements and all.
The first music I was into as a kid was Weird Al (along with a bunch of others, I bet). Outside of him, I didn’t listen to much music at all until I hit the wonder years and got into the Beatles. Does teenaged headbanging to Nirvana count as "stupid music you were into as a kid"?
Oh yeah. I went there.

I think the Cocktail soundtrack may have been the first tape I ever owned. I know it was the first tape my POS G.E. walkman chewed up and spat out in a tangled mess.

BTW, any chance we’ll see those little rubber dome/suction cup poppers in a future cereal prize installment? You’d press the center and a second later it would pop up a couple feet in the air. Those things were made for small children to choke on.

The Ghostbuster’s II Soundtrack. I couldn’t live without that tape but I don’t really know why I was attracted to it. I remember writting out all the lyrics…. which I think I even taped to my bedroom wall.

Kokomo was indeed an addictive song. I didn’t hunt down the single or beg for the soundtrack… no, I convinced my mom to take me to a Beach Boys concert by insisting it was something our exchange student neighbor needed to experience. Looking back I’m impressed my grade-school self could pull that scheme off.

Acually Matt, I remember watching I think either "I Love the 70s" or one of the "I Love the 80s" shows on VH1 and they talked about Mikey, and as you said, he appeared on the show. By the way, great couple of articles.
