I'm not sure if it defined me, but Dire Straights Brothers in Arms comes to mind. Mostly, I think, because my mom loved it, too, and would dance with us to Walk of Life. Now that she's gone, I can still see her dancing every time I hear it. There was such joy on her face dancing with her children!
No particular album or sound defined me, but growing up in the 50's and letting loose as a teen in the 60's did. Cassette tapes - when I was cleaning my room upon retiring from teaching I found a box of them with some great bands. A friend took them to give to her teenage boys because they did not know what they were! I did not have the heart to toss them.
When I was seven I saw a commercial ad to buy Kenny Roger’s Greatest Hits. I had to beg my mom to let me get it. My parents didn’t have a credit card or even a checking account. So it was a pretty. Big deal when she finally agreed to order it. I think we had to get a money order to pay for it. It arrived several months later and Kenny has been my favorite since. If you have a chance you and bean should listen to the Baseball song it’s very cute

Loved Sultans of Swing.
I understand! One of my favorites as well!
Anything Van Halen was my jam! Such great music we grew up with compared to now. Some day Uma will thank you for exposing her to real music. LOL!
There's an LA band called Weathers you should check out. They're one of Alayna's favorites and she and I have gone to Boston to see them a few times.
I'll give them a look!

I think I still may have a box of cassettes around here someplace!
Still wound? Or the old pencil trick.
