R&P: What song, by your favourite band(s), did you first learn the words to?

Question

And can you remember where you first heard this song?

The first song by Evanescence was "Missing", I first heard it on an AMV for 'Bleach' a few years ago. It's one of my favourites by Evanescence.

I first learned the words to 'Lithium' by Nirvana. I heard it about three years ago while trying to find the Evanescence song 'Lithum' (two different songs). It was actually the first Nirvana song I ever heard. I'd heard a lot about them and I was fascinated by the aesthetics of bi-polar disorder ('Lithium' seems to relate to it).

Vanna - "Dead Language For A Dying Lady"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qhUweVtI3U

I wanted to learn the lyrics because I was going to see them live and I knew at some parts of this song the singer jumps into the crowd and gives the mic to the crowd to have them sing,



MQ: Therefore I Am - "I Am Only An Island"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l3LQbo7-og

And my second favourite band, The Kinks, was probably Come Dancing. I listened to The Kinks before I listened to The Beatles.

Aaaand I guess The Monkees would be the next easiest to remember- It was probably Mary, Mary or I'm Not Your Stepping Stone

Answer 9

'Dreams' ~ Fleetwood Mac

I was probably in the car, as my first memory of the song is of sitting in the back of the car, singing along to it.



'The Witch's Promise' ~ Jethro Tull

I saw an old TV performance on an episode of TOTP2, whilst at my granny's house.



'Family Man' ~ Mike Oldfield

Probably heard it on the radio as a child, but when I was about 12 we went on holiday with my uncle, he had a 'best of' cassette playing in the car, and I borrowed it and played this song over and over {during the holiday, I also managed to find a shop with a CD copy of the album}.

NB: I wasn't sure the 'Master of Ceremonies' section on 'Tubular Bells (pt1)' counted as 'lyrics'...



'Claire in Heaven' ~ Capercaille

On the compelation album "Rough Guide to the Music of Scotland".



'Rooms on Fire' ~ Stevie Nicks

Bought a 'Rock' compelation cassette at a service station on the way back from a holiday {may have been the 'Mike Oldfield' holiday}, and this song was on it - first of her solo songs I ever heard.





I can't be sure of the 'firsts' for these 5, but these are the 'probables' :~



Led Zeppelin = 'The Battle of Evermore"

I had the album "The Remasters", and loved several songs at once, but especially this one.



Dire Straits = 'The Man's Too Strong"

My dad had "Brothers in Arms", and I played this song a lot.



Old Blind Dogs = 'The Cruel Sister'

From the second of their albums.



Sandy Denny = 'The False Bride' / 'You Never Wanted Me'

My uncle lent me his compelation "Legends of Folk Rock" album, and I really liked these two songs.



Blackmore's Night = 'Shadow of the Moon'

Title song to their debut album {I went through them chronologically}.





BQ: Yep, been here just over 3 years now - my 4th R&P Christmas!

Answer 10

Paranoid-Black Sabbath

Answer 11
