Kinda surprised there doesn’t appear to be a thread on this.

I’ve always been a big music fan, a major part in my life. With all that’s going on, maybe folks out there have the same passion and would like to share it? If this thread takes off, we will get a ‘feel’ of what others like, and can make suggestions? As for my tastes, I guess they could be described generally as rock music, blues, folk and some classical. I was thinking that if we could limit it to the more obscure/less well-known tunes? No Beatles, ABBA, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers etc, we’ve all heard them already. 

I’ll kick it off with this from Supertramp...

The first record I ever had was The Everly Bros, Walk Right Back (my Dad bought it for me.)

The first record I actually bought was Elvis Presley, The Girl of my Best Friend. I don't know why I bought it because I didn't really like Elvis and I was in Cleobury Mortimer on holiday and a shop happened to have a few records for sale! smile

'Cathy's Clown' and 'Ebony Eyes' and 'Wake Up Little Suzie', all courtesy of my 2 older half brothers {7&9 years senior]. Mum bought them a 'Dansette' style record player for Xmas [16 2/3, 33, 45 & 78 rpm options] and 1 single to start off the collection .... Charlie Drake singing 'Please Mr Custer'.... And, not long after, she bought for herself 'Dominique' by the Singing Nun [ a record that warped mysteriously from the heat of the Debonair Flavel Gas Fire about 10 feet away undecided]

Fair to say that Mum wasn't in tune with 'Yoof music' ...

I love that song Freddy and Christine Perfect/McVie's voice. I saw her with the original Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green et al) at York Uni Central Hall, must have been about 1971ish. Fantastic! smile

Edit to above - think Peter Green may have left the group by then? Left a legacy of great songs though!  smile

Yes, I think he’d already left. A pity what happened to him (PG), such a good guitar player, and the perfect blues voice. I missed out on seeing them. We did though go to see ‘Rumours’ (a tribute act) around a year ago, who were very good. They even played several ‘Green’ era songs, which was nice🙂

'Man of the World', 'Oh Well' Parts I & II, 'The Chain', 'The Green  Manalishi [With The Two Pronged Crown]', 'Tusk', 'Oh Daddy', 'Shake Your Money Maker' etc. In fact,just about any Fleetwood Mac track will suit. 'Dragonfly' is a nice mellow track for a peaceful afternoon in the Spring sunshine.
