New Wave Outpost Forum

What would you say is the song you have ever listened to the MOST ? Think back to when you were 12...or 14...or 16....or anytime you sat around and listened to a song to DEATH. IT may not necessarily be your fave song (although it probably was at the time, right?[;)]), but you sure heard the hell out of it. You knew/ know every word, every note, every nuance. Maybe you even wore out your copy (cassettes come to mind).

Can you truly remember such a song? Doesn't necessarily have to be New Wave.

And if you can't really say for certain what [i]song[/i], what about an [i]ALBUM[/i] ?

Here are a few that wore down on my turntable when I was youngster in the 70's. I'd say these are pretty much in descending order from most listened to:

Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood - Some Velvet Morning
Mashmakan - As The Years Go By
Bowie - Starman
Bowie - Big Brother/Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family
Donovan - Atlantis
Beatles - Hello Goodbye
Leonard Cohen - So Long Marianne
Leonard Cohen - Winter Lady

"Souvenir" by OMD (1981) and "Dancing In The Shadows" by French kiss (1983). I still listen these two songs too much (and Souvenir was the reason why I'm very fond of the early 80s music).

Side 1 of Kraftwerk .:. Autobahn

I would wake up in the morning with the tune in my head....I always thought the lyrics were: "...fun, fun, fun of the autobahn". Not realizing it was in German "...Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn". Hey, I was 13 ok?

Hey, that's cool. I used to think China Grove was "Shiny Goat", and don't get me going on "Purple mountains majesty . . . amber waves of grey" (I'm amazed that, even as a young child, I never questioned that!). I also liked to sing at xmas about "Don we now are gay of peril . . ." LOL (I figured it was about laughing in the face of danger.) [:p]

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die.

Lets go waaay back to 1974.I played the shit out of Bowie,s Diamond Dogs.I still love the song and the lp.
Golden Earings double live 1977 would be a close second.Just like Vince Taylor...fuckin brilliant.

For me it was Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
I probably played my 12" version of 19 by Paul Hardcastle equally frequently though. [8D]

EDIT: Just remembered by addiction to my 7" of Duran Durans Reflex...
