When did you first fall in love with pop music?

For me,

ABBA - Dancing Queen (Official Music Video)



The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star (Official Music Video)



David Bowie - Space Oddity (2019 Mix) [Official Video]

"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto

My older brother used to listen to and record the Top 40 on the radio and that's when I started listening to pop music.  The first two two songs I remember hearing on the radio were Video Killed the Radio Star and Cliff Richard's We Don't Talk Anymore in 1979.  To this day the nostalgia is strong on VKTRS.

My earliest memory involves a Supremes song, so sometime around the time I turned 3, I guess?
