Mr. Miser... post your playlist so we can pick and chew.
Kurt is poking and prodding because he has this month. And he's trying not to procrastinate.  

Spinning!

I just don't act like it.

Sonny and Cher were chaste?

 if you think 55 is a youngster...ok! i'll take it. i used to think i should have been born a couple decades earlier so to have experienced the 1966-1979 years as a young adult. oh, well.
and thank you!

thanks! mom loved all the dave clark 5, peter paul and mary, new christie minstrels stuff, and dad kinda liked the rocking stuff (stole all of my stones tapes/cds when i was in middle/high school to play in his car on the way to work or golf trips) you'd never have known he was a rocker to look at him. extremely conservative, corporate, preppy, golf maniac. but, man did he love some early zz top and ted-nugent's great white buffalo...miss him.
my very first concert in the very early 70s was when my mom and dad took me to see sonny and cher. i may have been 5 or younger, but i remember it well. i was the same age as their chastity at the time.

Nice list.
A lot of those songs are on my list.
Except being around a lot longer... my list is quite a bit huge- r.

I'm already planing my influenced disc after my February contractual commitment.

Great list! I like the difference between your mom's and dad's taste. Sounds like he was a rocker!

thanks - i had fun. i didn't really follow directions since i mostly gave albums instead of specific songs (except in a couple instances) because it would be too hard to pick just one song.

That was fun. Great list!

i love this idea. being a lurker, i came up with a few for a song list. 

some standing out since i was a very little girl listening to AM radio when i was supposed to be napping:
the wings - uncle albert/admiral halsey
chaka khan - tell me something good
stevie wonder - boogie on reggae woman

mom's influence:
cher - half breed
otis redding - dock of the bay
the 5th dimension - stoned soul picnic

dad's influence due to his hi-fi and albums:
joe walsh - so what
zz top - first album
sly & the family stone - dance to the music

then later on (high school/college):
genesis - (anything but mostly ->) 3 sides live
steely dan - (almost anything up through gaucho, but most definitely the aja album)
rolling stones -  beggars banquet - specifically stray cat blues
led zeppelin - physical graffiti - specifically sick again
t-rex - electric warrior
squeeze - 45s and under
B-52s - the B-52s
violent femmes - violent femmes
the replacements - tim

still later (dropping out of college):
soundgarden - louder than live and badmotorfinger
black crowes - the southern harmony and musical companion

and much later:
starsailor - love is here
elbow - seldom seen kid
QOTSA - songs for the deaf
spoon - ga ga ga ga ga, lucifer on the sofa
big thief - masterpiece
black pumas - black pumas
devon gilfillian - black hole rainbow

that was fun.

Well for my January mix it's a little too late as it went out in the mail yesterday afternoon. It falls in the "and now for something completely different" category but not that different. I'll keep this in mind for the next one. Might be cool to revisit some of that stuff.

I'll attempt that disc my next go around after my February release... which is in production at the moment.

Don't know about a whole playlist that would be worth listening to. But here are my earliest formative tunes
First thing I heard on a little AM radio in our living room while Mom covered everything in Pledge.

A record my Dad had which I always loved to hear

and a song I heard so often, and have never tired of. It might be the perfect song: the drunk calling his ex from a bar. "Tell me do you love me true?" and asking The Man to turn down the music in the bar so he can talk, and he gets pushy. "Make up your mind/I've got know." And so he wants her to tell her date to leave, just so she can tell him that she still loves him.
Desperation, pathos, inevitability... All in 2:11

Of course, there can be a part two: lying in bed in Ruston LA while visiting some family friends and I hear FM for the first time. Green Eyed Lady.
Or getting ready for school and listening to KLOL Houston and Minnie Ripperton tells me I'm beautiful. And ELP play Toccata on that same station and blow my mind. And every night, it's time for...Headphones Only.
And Pat Ziefle takes a few of our high school senior Special Chemistry class on a field trip to the Sulphur, LA, refineries and she puts in the 8-track of Close to the Edge and I don't hear anything that anyone in the car is saying after that...

My dad had an album from the Kirby Stone Four before they got signed to a major. Which is kind of cool in an extraordinarily uncool sort of way.

He was also a  big fan of Spike Jones

'nuff said? I think so.
