Just a little band ... nothing spesh ...








My daughter went online to buy our tickets to their Adelaide performance in March. We needed four and she got the last three before they sold out. One ticket off - she, her bf and my ex are going without me.


Meh, they're crap without Bon anyway.

You should have been the one to go instead of you ex!

My first record outside of kids records like Atom Ant or Secret Squirrel

My first introduction to motown.

This style of music was also very common in my house.

I didn't start appreciating it until I got older.

I was really influenced by my older siblings and cousins, so I got into 90's alternative at an early age. My fav. band in that style of music was (and still is) The Smashing Pumpkins.

I remember having a small crush on the girls on the cover of Siamese Dream when I was 6.

My 2 brothers were into metal, and one of them was into grunge, so I was introduced to bands like Nirvana and Metallica as well.

I then went through a phase of liking pop music and the nu metal/mainstream rock (eg. Korn, Marilyn Manson, Green Day, etc.) in the late 90's when I was in junior high. That later evolved into an interest in different styles of punk, and finally into a wide plethora of genres.

I was just six or seven years old when this song was first released, and by the time she released her debut album, my sister and me were the biggest Spears fans in our neighbourhood. You should've seen our room.

When I was very young my mum played music of the big band era and sometimes something we’d call easy listening jazz. On the radio we heard music by Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole; Billie Holiday; Ella Fitzgerald; the Righteous Brothers, Elvis Presley and the Beatles. I liked it that my mum didn’t object when I would tune in to these and sometimes she’d even do the twist with me.
Later as a young teen in the USA I was exposed to The Carpenters; The Monkeys, Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkel John Denver, Harry Nilsson; The Mamas and The Papas, the Beach Boys, the Seekers / New Seekers, more Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, Cliff Richard, first the Jackson Brothers then Michael Jackson, ProculHarum, Moody Blues; Santana; Diana Ross, Queen, ABBA; Kenny Rogers; ELO; The Who, the Eagles, Crosby; Stills, Nash and Young, Chicago; Pink Floyd;

Then at college I chose to listen to music by Barbra Streisand and Carole King, Paul Simon, James Taylor; Kris Kristofferson; Phil Collins; Rod Stewart; Eric Clapton and Elton John; Joe Cocker; Tom Jones; Led Zeppelin.

Quite a mix, wouldn’t you say?
Have been listening to several selections here, going down memory lane...

I would've never admitted it, but I liked early Britney Spears, especially that song. I like some stupid sunny music sometimes.

Oh, I like early Britney, and that song is nice. My favourite is her performance of "Born to Make You Happy", when she came up from a music box, she was so pretty. Present Britney is just I laughed, because I thought how our room looked like in that period when I was an avid fan. I don't really care that it's her, that's fine enough, but... it looked hilarious. We even had costumes and wigs and dolls and everything. I guess for me, I was in love with Britney, not her music, while my sister couldn't get enough of her songs.

She grew up only a few towns away from where I live, and even though she moved to Hollywood, or wherever the hell she lives, it seems that she followed in the footsteps of everyone else from around there that were knock-outs as teenagers/twenty-somethings, but just get sloppy and crazy. Even as young as I am now, I'm seeing girls that have changed for the worse in such little time.

Yeah, I think it was her, rather than her music that had me watching the videos. She broke out when I was just at the end of puberty, so yeah.
