Music that Imprinted on you as a Child

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

I'm guessing it doesn't begin having any profound effect until maybe 5 years of age more or less i.e. begins "imprinting" (hard to say exactly). I was born late 60s and tons of the 70s imprinted on me. Maybe even a two-year-old or younger can resonate with a musical melody or voicing.
 

Probably not any more than you want to be tortured by the Bee Gees, ABBA, or Dan Fogelberg et al.
 

The point of this thread is more an analysis of perspective and how it "changes and evolves" as stated in the thread intro, and less about contemporary musical tastes.

And I was wondering when you'd get around to posting the Arch Enemy which only took about a year as far as I can tell, but wrong thread. That'd be like me posting Children of Bodom and Dark Tranquility in lieu of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

Can't all be metal. That is just my favorite genre.

I tried to think of the earliest song I remember hearing. I was young too. Like 3 or 4 years old.

Though they didn't tell us anything, my dad was a stoner, and I know this because he'd always watch this movie. It is the first thing I remember him watching. I don't think I ever watched the entire thing because all I remember is "foreign guy with evil smile as missile launches" and "people in Asian city moving in fast motion with weird repetitive music."

Though I now understand the arty message the Godfather guy was going for.



I think that is the absolute earliest music memory. This memory is also conflated with the Challenger explosion, another early life memory.

And now I find it funny two of my earliest memories are of exploding rockets.
