I've been dying to jump in, but I've been swamped lately
We moved from SoCal in '72, when I was 13, so everything from before the move.
Hmmm...been a lot of great vids posted already. I don't think I'd really disagree with any, in the context of then. Oh, first, let's take a minute to remember Peter Tork.

Ya Ya, the pre-fab four. They were huge, though. And the stuff they actually did themselves stands up.
Of course, the first full album I ever bought was by the actual Fab Four. Truth is, I snuck my older sister's brand new copy of Abbey Road to a dance and it got scratched and I had to replace it

Still my favorite Beatles album.
But I was always all over the place. With 3 older sisters, I got everything from the 50's on. And dad with his country and mom with her big band and showtunes, I got the full range. Top 40 was huge, Motown. I still listen to a lot of old 60's soul. Too many to list right now, for sure.
