My early years were seriously molded by what my mom listened to.... A very few of whom are Lennon, Plant, Bowie, Dr. John, Rickie Lee Jones, and still one of my favorites, Queen. The very first song I knew all the words to was "Fat Bottomed Girl" and my mother tells several anecdotes of diapered baby me dancing like a fiend to the amazing sounds of Freddie Mercury.
I was a teenager in the 80s. Huey Lewis and the News was my first concert. The very first cassette tape I bought with my own money was Men At Work and a-ha. The sounds of 80s pop are a big part of what made my musical tastes what they are. Not to mention hair metal, and early speed metal. I remember seeing Megadeth with Warlock (Doro Pesche *droolz*) and Sanctuary.
Thanks to my mom's seriously ecclectic tastes in music, I find that I don't have a single favorite kind. There is not a single genre of music that I can't find at least one song I like.
