David Bowie!!!!Otis Westinghouse wrote:12 is a great age for obsession, as commented above. For me Elvis was 14/15, first saw him at 15. At 12 it was Bowie. 1976. I'd got into Hunky Dory in 1973 aged 9, but it was in secondary schools from 11 onwards that I was obsessed. This music has lasted me all my life. Enjoy the journey.
David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Tori Amos, Queen, Goo Goo Dolls, Blondie, Talking Heads etc.verbal gymnastics wrote:A 12 year old female - I guess I've found my audienceelvis_Costello wrote:![]()

So who else's music do you like? Beware, getting into Elvis will make you seek out other artists which is a good thing. Some are not for me but he's made me aware of artists I would never have listened to.
Ugh maybe I will later, but the Smiths are just so...Kevin Davis wrote:I could never wrap my brain around The Smiths, either. Maybe I just missed my window.
Jason Mraz is insufferable.
I'll check out the bands you suggested, but for the record, Paul Simon does not rule.MOJO wrote:Wow, 12 years old and you remember what you were listening to in the 1st / 2nd grade. You're parents must be pretty cool. At 12, I was more into comedy - SCTV, Saturday Night Live, Johnny Carson. I did like the Beach Boys, Doobie Brothers, Beatles - standard mainstream stuff. Check out The Go-Betweens and The Replacements. Good times! And, sorry, but Paul Simon still rules.
I'm with Otis on this one. To appreciate The Smiths you need to have been an adolescent, preferably one who has been disappointed in love. It also helps if you've ever spent a wet Tuesday in Salford, or indeed anywhere in the North West of England.elvis_Costello wrote:Ugh maybe I will later, but the Smiths are just so... weird.
There are other kinds of Tuesday in Salford? Good cotton weaving weather.Man out of Time wrote:It also helps if you've ever spent a wet Tuesday in Salford
