What is the first song you remember enjoying?

My parents always listened to Dylan in the car so Desire or Blood On The Tracks.

Off my own back and discounting Alvin and the Chipmunks, Kiss - I Was Made For Lovin' You. Dynasty and Unmasked were massive albums for this wee 4-5 year old boy.

As far as rock goes, Welcome To The Jungle and Paradise City, a few years after first hearing Words, was a massive shift for me. Had heard other rock, but it didn’t really register, then I heard these songs, and wow. Led to plenty of other rock, including Pearl Jam a few years later.

I always enjoyed music and noticed it very much as a kid. I remember getting Mickey Mouse Disco on vinyl

Spoiler: show

as a kid and thinking that was pretty great.

At around that same time (so 1979-ish) my brother made me a C90 tape of all David Bowie stuff, and I just loved it. The first song was Starman, which was great, but track #2 was my jam - Space Oddity. So yeah, my brother made sure to indoctrinate me with the good stuff from an early age.

It amazes me that my brother and I had a turntable in each of our rooms from about 8 years old on. And I had Kiss records from 4 or 5 onwards and my brother got Iron Maidens Number of the beast when he was 11. When I was 5 or 6 I got Kiss makeup at my brothers' Sunday School fair. Needlessly to say I wasn't going to Sunday school.

My kids seem so innocent by contrast.

Same. I hate that song.

First song I remember really loving was Thriller.

The Do Ray Mee song from Sound of Music. Still love it.

Probably Queen's 'We Are the Champions'. I was a big fan of The Mighty Ducks.

Kids are fucking stupid etc.

My wife just directed this for a middle school production. I’ve heard this song a thousand times in the past two months. Let it die.

No worries. I only revive it once a year.

My dad used to sing SO to me, changing the lyrics to “Major John.”

Don't be ashamed of your 3-year-old tastes.

if we're going kids songs, then it was certainly Mister Rogers "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"
