What was the first music you ever loved?

the chorus of "Born to be Wild"

i remember as a wee kid on independence day, some older cousin or another would always allot me some paltry amount of non-dangerous fireworks to go light on my lonesome. and i remember thinking that i had to coordinate lighting them in order to make the most of my comparatively unexciting private fireworks show. and i'd think to myself: fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

- "To Sir with Love," from seeing the film at the drive-in
- bubblegummy stuff like "Dizzy," "Sugar, Sugar" and Andy Kim's early hits
- Ray Stevens' stupid novelty songs like "Gitarzan" and ones with titles that make we wince (and not realizing how many of them were covers)
- Beatles singles from '67 or so

New Kids. Though it's possible I was more into the cartoon and the fashion plates.

I reallly don't kno. The first lp I ever bought wasa copy of Oklahoma when i was 12 so wonder if I was heavily into musicals. Did used to watch the Sunday afternoon film o British tv in th emid 70s. Also knnow I got to see teh Jungle Book when i was a toddler and had the single when i wasa little older.

First stuff I started buying heavily was mod related British bands and soul from the mid 60s and bits of the Jam etc. I still love teh mid 60s stuff.
May have enjoyed bits of heavier rock that were turning up on TOTP late 70s/early 80s. and post punk pop a little later.
My brother was playing things like teh Stooges and Velovet Underground from the room next to the living room at the start of the 80s so I was picking up on them in my early teens also Can. Then i went from the mod stuff to more psychedelic stuff from it being played in mod discos. I also know I loved X Ray Spex in my early mid teens. & other bits and pieces of punk stuff like taht.
THink I've mainly just picked up on more stuff along those lines. Picked up most of FUnkadelic in the late 80s too.

But what exactly i really loved when in my childhood i can't remember brilliantly. Do remember some bits of glam turning up on the radio when i would have been i my mid 00s.
I know I wound up with a copy of Motown Revue live in Paris which would have been bought mid 60sby one of my parents . Also remember having the red Beatles double around the time it came out. Also Nina & Frederick who were an infamous gangster combo or was taht when he went solo?
I think we had a Scott Joplin which might have been in th ewake of The Sting bringing him back to attention. Also there were a few trad jazz lps my mother had bought in the early 60s. Do remember a Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore lp being something I listened to quite a bit too though that's not music.

not sure if I have a correct way of retracing my steps since childhood and thinking what turned up when.

As a kid, I was into Top 40 radio, and often listened to popular LPs of the day (Thriller, Like a Virgin, She’s So Unusual, Brothers in Arms... uh, Dare to Be Stupid, Eddie Grant, Alphaville)—but Wish You Were Here is the first album I remember getting into via a side channel (camp counselor) and being totally fascinated with, felt like it was special and “mine,” etc.

somehow neglected to add having been driven around bits o fEngland asa child to go and see Morris dances. ONe of my mother's schoolfriends was marriede to the gy who's on stage leading the Morris dance in the St Trinians Great Train Robbery. The family lived about a 10 minute walk away from where I spent part of my childhood and we'd be driven around in this mini woodie car to various parts of at least Essex and close counties.
I probably connected to other music since i used to dance around to music asa small child not sure what though.
