Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
STILL LOVE Tom Petty. Great writer.
A great first fave, Shelley!
Elton John
Geddy Lee
Mr. Lee influenced and inspired many man many… and will continue to do so.
Thanks, Cliff!
Great way to become initiated into the world of music, Barb! VERY COOL.
I have to admit it was Donny Osmond, followed closely by Bobby Sherman. Hey, I was young.
Happy Anniversary Amy and Andy!
Aww, THANK YOU, Katie! It was a wonderful day, to be sure.
Many more to come!
No apologies necessary. 🤣
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. SERIOUS teen idols, to be sure. Big time!
Hey, my (Andy’s) very first crush of any kind was Daphne on Scooby Doo!
When I was 5 I heard Help!, Ticket to Ride, You’ve Got to Hide Your Love away and Can’t Buy Me Love on the radio. It’s been the Beatles ever since. This was strengthened three years later, in 68, when I heard Hey Jude, and solidified when I heard half of the White album when I was ten.
Just sensational, Bill.
Like I always say, I wasn’t around for the original wave of Beatlemania. (It must’ve been amazing to live through it in real time, firsthand), and they weren’t even my first favorite band. But when they “took root” in me, they’ve been at the top for me ever since.
Led Zeppelin….
I’ve been listening to them since I was born.
I have older brother by 11 years.
I remember vividly on my 10th birthday…
He asked what music do you want for your party… I said, Led Zeppelin play Hotdog, among others.
Rush is a close first, just slightly behind.
Hey Vinnie!
It’s great to hear that Zep is STILL doing it for you. It’s awesome when someone’s first favorite band is still at or near the top.
Outstanding, brother.
The Beatles
Hi Kim!
The Beatles conquered the planet before my time… but to this day, there are my favorite all time band. 🙂
Thanks so much for the reply!
Johnny Rivers 😎 I used to play Maybelline over and over then I would put that needle on secret agent man and play that and over again
Very cool.
My (Andy’s) first favorite Johnny Rivers song was SEVENTH SON.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nice, Cindy. I (Andy) suspect for MANY there were the “first.” Their songs are just so… accessible.
Have to say first band loves were, Doors, Beatles, and Bowie
Shirley, that is one KICK ASS trifecta!
The Beatles, always The Beatles
I (Andy) love that answer, Bonnie.
