Re: (TV) OT: Earliest memory of rock
I have to say that all in all, I am prouder of my earliest musical tastes
than I am of some things I have bought recently... "Don Kirshner's Rock
Concert" was probably the first rock music I remember seeing on TV, and my
first ever concert was (eek!) Robin Trower (I am blameless -- I was kidnapper
by my baby-sitter, who had an extra ticket!). The first show I attended by
choice was The Clash, 1979. An auspicious debut, no doubt about it!
My first LP purchase was Bowie's "Young Americans," followed closely by
T.Rex's "The Slider." I was about eight years old. This soon segue'd into
a preference for AC-DC, Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy (all of which remain to
this day) but was also marked by the alarming simultaneous enjoyment of Elton
John and Sweet. No wonder I am in therapy.
