Listened a lot, since I played a lot. And it's really a great soundtrack for the game.

I also was obsessed with these when i was 12-13:

They were the songs i liked the most from what i was hearing from the radio, at school, etc..

My dad listens mostly to classic '70 rock, and i took that from him around 15-16. My mum listens to a bit of everything, but mostly '70 and '80 pop.

When I was 4, I was listening a lot to a best of... compilation of this guy

Link

Still love a lot of songs from him or his band (Film), though maybe not the same ones.

I was also listening a lot to a slovenian band, Šank Rock (ultimate slovenian dadrockers). Here is their ode to our beer:

Year later, when I was 5, they released an album with this song:

Probably my favourite song of my childhood and tbh I still like it (probably just nostalgia though)

This soundtrack was by first legit musical obsession. It did something to me chemically.

Link

When I was really little, I was simultaneously drawn to and frightened by Enya.

Link

The Corrs were stuck in my head 99% of the time.

Link

Mark Knopfler was also a key player, mostly for his Princess Bride soundtrack which was on heavy rotation.

I remember I always loved Yellow Submarine by The Beatles, and Low by Flo Rida.

My earliest memory ever was the song Lambada by Kaoma, which was from 1989, when I was 3 years old. I remember I've heard it many times and lots of the other children in the kindergarden sang it, too. It must have been a huge hit back then if I remember it so well. I know I didn't like it back then, and the reason was because everyone else liked it, haha.

Later I fell in love with the most famous rock opera of my country, which is called Stephan, the King by Illés. I remember recording it on tape and listen to it over and over when I was 7 or 8.

Link

About a year later I heard 'Too Much Love Will Kill You' by The Queen, and I loved it, I listened to it a million time.

These three are my best musical memories from my childhood, beside all of the classical music stuff which I heard at home because my mother is a piano teacher.

Following the earliest years of childhood being heavily focused on the Beatles and then Pink Floyd, my brother influenced my obsession with Primus.

Was definitely the 5th or 6th grader rocking the oversized Pork Soda shirt in class

Vague recollections of my dad working out in the garage to Of A Lifetime by Journey and Dream On by Aerosmith. A complete and total obsession with Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne, its like the ultimate kid's song, its so fun. Nursery rhymes are for adults, Ozzy Osbourne is for kids. I remember liking Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy. It was playing on VH1 or MTV or something. The music video was an important aspect, too. The All-American Rejects too, of course. That's about the extent of it.

When I was a kid, there were a few songs I specifically remember singing along to/listening to a lot. My dad listened to a lot of country, so the ones I remember are all country ballads. Specifically "I Still Believe In You" by Vince Gil, "Little Rock" by Colin Raye and "If I Were You", also by Colin Raye.

I also have a lot of fond memories of listening to Motown and 60s bubblegum pop because that's what the local oldies radio station played and that's what my parents listened to. Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, early Beach Boys stuff, Foundations, Diana Ross, all that stuff.

Now my son is 4 and loves to listen to some of my vinyls. These are some of the ones he routinely picks out:

Oh, and as for me, my parents listened to a lot of aging classic rock artists (e.g., Eric Clapton, Phil Collins), but that didn't interest me so much. The main influence I took from my parents was a love of '50s and '60s pop (mostly my mom). You might say that oldies radio was the seed for my current love of music. I didn't listen to complete albums much when I was a young kid, though.
