It's been years since I took much interest in music. I don't really like the modern music at all, but when the 70's music starts, it's amazing how the lyrics are still there. I love the fact i can sing along and remember the moments in the past that make those songs really memorable.

Like the moment I thought I had discovered the love of my life.. Shame Donny married Debbie before he met me :) lol.. isn't that what every teenage girl thought back then. How wonderful to see them still together .. healthy and happy.. Gotta love the Osmonds!!! May the music live onDonny OsmondOsmonds

Post your top fifteen bands/artists, the first song you heard of theirs, the song that made you fall in love, and your current favorite.

Just taking this from what Last.FM generated as my Top Fifteen. Might or might not be completely accurate.

1. Donny Osmond. Yes, I hear you groaning. It was Puppy Love and I was oh... what... five years old. Believe it or not though, I'm not a huge fan of that song, really. Anyway, the song that made me fall in love with him was A Million To One. That's always been my favorite "teen idol era" song of his. Current favorite? Still Broken Man.

2. The Beatles. First song? I really don't know. I have been in love with them since I was in utero really. Let's see... the first one I vividly remember was probably I Want to Hold Your Hand. Song that made me fall in love with them? So hard to tell. I have fantastically wonderful memories of Good Day Sunshine. Current fave? Changes a lot but I really love Revolution 1.
