Which are your favourite records from your younger years?

I’m sure you’re right, very dodgy lyrics!

Must remembered The House Of The Rising Sun, great record, and Fats Domino’s Blueberry Hill.

Teenage years, Procol Haram’s Whiter Shade Of Pale, anything by the Beatles, Cilla Black or The Kinks.
Anyone who had a heart (Cilla) still evokes those years and the Beatles ‘She Loves You’.
Beach Boys ‘Sloop John B’ and The Mamas and The Papas
‘Monday Monday.) Happy and carefree days.?

I agree Calendargirl!

Ditto ‘Every Breath you Take’ by Police (about a stalker - it really put me off when I realised).

Lots of good records to choose from.

When I was at teacher training college and in digs on my own I would play a Beach Boys LP when I felt down. It never failed to cheer me up.

Don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but I suppose Young Girl would not be allowed to make it to the hit parade nowadays.
I loved it though.

As a child it was the Radetsky March. I'd listen to it over and over. Must have driven everyone mad .

Then I discovered David Cassidy. David Essex.

Cherish. Hold Me Close.

Then Abba. Voulez Vous

I was a disco diva really.

And Motown. Too many songs to mention.

I think my favourite song ever is I Was Made for Loving You by Kiss.

And Dance Me to the End of Love. Leonard Cohen

That one always makes me cry

Black Sabbaths Paranoid.
I have it on my playlist. I hear it and I am that young music obsessed girl again.
I love Tom Lehrer, too.

For me... Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.
Whenever I have time to myself, candles are lit and I lie on the floor and just relish my 'time machine'.

I was just thinking about Young Girl, I was still at school and we used to play it constantly in our lunch hour.

Young Girl by Union Gap and most of the early Elvis ones.

How young are we talking?
When I was maybe 14 I was dying for someone to give me the Telstar single for Christmas - I dropped plenty of hints but nobody did. ?

Mid to late teens, far too many to mention, so many bring back memories. But I particularly remember Beach Boys numbers and A Whiter Shade Of Pale, when we were chilling in the Upper Sixth common room.

Student days, esp. after I met dh, a Leonard Cohen LP and The Incredible String Band - I still really love, 'First Girl I loved'.

When I was maybe 11 my rather older sister had a Tom Lehrer LP - I adored the songs, so funny, but what I liked best was the instruction on the back: 'To clean record use a fairly dry Martini.'
Height of wit to me at the time!

For me, I only have to hear All the young Dudes, or Maggie May, and I’m right back in the early seventies.

My husband was a bit more hardcore than me, and loved, still loves The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, and we both loved Lou Reed, Perfect Day still brings a tear to my eye.
