It takes a really great meme to get me out of the woodwork

From mactavish.

From YouTube, the Billboard #1 songs of 1970, my birth year. While this is interesting, as it shows what my parents were listening to, to me, there's something better

That's great fun, Darlin'! I agree with you on it's what the 'rents were listening to. My father had Absolute Control over the "house radio".

However, my older sister, with whom I shared a room, listened to rock 'n roll, so I've been a rock 'n roll baby forever.

Exactly! My younger brother was listening to all the modern stuff at 8 or 9, because he's four years younger than me.

Thanks! I'd seen it when mactavish posted it but 1970 is when I was born too. I agree that the 1982 songs define me more as well. Except that at 12, I wasn't a maneater ;) I don't think I ever have been.

I didn't really intend a meme . . . but okay. :)

I grew up with siblings ten years older than I am, so even before kindergarten, I wallowed in hippie music -- the Beatles, the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, the Stones, etc. The first music that I really sort of fell in love with "on my own," if you will, though my sister's ex introduced me to it, was Pink Floyd. I went out and bought a used LP, and that was the beginning of music for me. I discovered FM radio, and Fleetwood Mac, and Neil Young, and Jackson Browne. Those were the years I woke up. I really sank into music deeply starting in around '78, though.
