My older siblings had left a few albums at the house when they moved out, but most of them were crap like flock of seagulls, KISS (2nd most awesome album covers combined with crappy music), meatloaf (bat out of hell had a super awesome album cover but a horrible album yuck), someone did leave the 45 of Queen's "another one bites the dust"/"don't try suicide". One of the siblings left some "Village People" albums which were at least better than kiss and meatloaf. None of that stuff really took off with me.
About sixth grade a classmate who would become a good friend moved to my small town from california. He brought some "rap mixtapes". I had never heard of rap music and it blew me away.
We were a bunch of sixth graders in small town southern Indiana listening to stuff no one else in town even knew existed. It was like it came from some other planet. We pretty much passed on "hair music" and got heavy into rap.

I liked Karen Carpenter's voice better.
Especially in Superstar.
All right, finally some country and folk.
+2 on Karen...
Loved the one hit wonders, but the Eagles are the best.
You read my mind. I was totally going to post some Carpenters-- probably Superstar. So here goes.I liked Karen Carpenter's voice better.
Especially in Superstar.
This clip is from before I was born, but some of the first music I remember hearing a wee lad was Grandpa playing Johnny Cash and the first girl I thought was smokin hot was Linda Ronstadt.
If you say Linda Ronstat, then you have to include Blue Bayou.
My music like are rather diverse. Pretty much like anything, except Rap.
