Howard Jones - New Song, summer '83 and that fabulous concert that he did in the Butler Community Hall in Waterford..........still talked about.
Driving from Dublin to Connemara sometime in the early 1970's (I don't remember the year) and hearing De Danann's version of the Beatles Hey Jude on the radio at least three times during the journey.
I can't stop, I can't start
It holds me together while it tears me apart
First actual childhood musical memory was hearing Scott and the rest of Walker Brothers doing " The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" , on the radio when we were living in Canada around the age of 4 or 5, which is to this day my all time favourite record.
My mother used to tell me that I got excited in the playpen when I was 18 months old by The Beatles and " She Loves You" don't remember that myself.
Love that song. Despite being a huge Bowie fan I have to admit, the Nirvana one is best.Originally Posted by superfrank
I actually like Lulu's version of that song. David Bowie plays Sax on it and produced it.
Ok Gerrit..
Track 1/ Was written by Rob and Fredi Bolland who were Dutch. They also had a version of the song out ( predates Quo's). They went on to produce records for other artists including... Rock Me Amadeus for Falco.
2/ Heart and Soul by them is a better song.
3/ Fred Wedlock a one hit wonder
4/ Well most of us have a fab 4 memory or other. I have both Rutles Albums on CD for example.
I have it. I agree it's excellent, but like a completley different song to the Nirvana/Bowie one. You can't compare it really.
I grew up with the Beatles as well, as my dad is a big fan and played it very often. The only weird thing is, I never liked it. Never got me excited. I still don't get why so many people adore the Beatles... I then ended up adoring a Liverpudlian band in the end, but not the Beatles! Not bad music, but it just doesn't move me.
My first humiliating musical memory was when I wanted to buy "Sadeness part I" from Enigma. I went to a record store for the first time but walked out as the priest on the front cover of the record looked scaryI know, shameful that is, but I was a young kid... So because of that scary priest my first record bought myself ended up being a different one: "Abba-esque" by Erasure
That Engima record started a whole new genre of music. Nothing to be ashamed of. Some people thing Michael Cretu is a musical innovator.I grew up with the Beatles as well, as my dad is a big fan and played it very often. The only weird thing is, I never liked it.

Musical youth, pass da dutchy, I think they all ended up either in jail or dead after a gang war,
Big Tom, Four country roads. Had that playing in the car for three weeks morning noon and fe*king night while over on Holiday about 24 years ago.
Brenden Shine, Catch me if you can me name is Dan sure i'm yer man, pretty much also had too listen to that morning, noon and night.
Green Door, Shakin' Stevens, man was a superstar, nuff said. Even inspired me to have a green door on my house.

I grew up listening to Frank Sinatra and the likes with my Da and i still listen to them now and again,i like that type of music and film.
I grew up listening to Abba mainly with my Ma and i hate Abba and anytype of Disco music.
With my brothers,i grew up listening to Bob Marley and early 90's Rap music which i both still listen to.
The music which predominantly interests me,which is Classic Rock,Nobody in my house or family listened to or even liked

Ok getting your name wrong was the only error in my posting however
I Fought the Law by The Bobby Fuller Four: I remember it because my older brother had a gang called the Law who used to rule us younger guys.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
This thread like an episode of "Dr Who"....
Ah, but it's one that deserved to be resurrected.
I grew up in Roscommon in the 80s, so I was exposed to One Day at a Time, The Rose of Castlerea, Four Roads to Glenamaddy - Gloria, Brendan Shine and Big Tom seemed to be the permanent soundtrack in my two uncles' Renault 4s... At home, it was Bob Marley - lots and lots of Bob Marley. Mum grew up in Manchester's Moss Side and most of her friends were Jamaican, so reggae was her big thing that I got into as well.
Buuut, my songs that always bring me back to somewhere warm and fuzzy... The Sawdoctors Red Cortina, The Stunning's Half Past Two, the Bay City Rollers... When I was around 9 or 10, I had a K-Tel compilation album on permanent play, with this possibly explaining why I was particularly uncool for about the next 15 years!
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Left of the dial, an excellent documentary on TXFM on the golden age of late night radio in Ireland: http://www.txfm.ie/LISTEN-BACK:-The-...l-Documentary-
These ones, in particular, still always bring me back to those impossibly long hot summers of the late '70s in Tramore when they would boom out onto the street from Freddie's amusement arcade's PA on a frequent (but not enough to be annoying) basis.
