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.

Peter Tork. Rest in peace.

In '72, I was listening to whatever my folks were listening to Didn't have much of a choice....I was 3 and ITunes hadn't been invented yet.

I do fondly remember really liking The Monkeys as their songs were pretty upbeat compared to whatever my folks were listening to. I think we drove them absolutely crazy singing those songs over and over.
