Watching those old 1976 Top of the Pops
I remembered that I really liked "Save all your Kisses for me"
Also there was a very odd song called Girls Girls Girls which was another one in my 5 year old top ten.
What were your favourites when you were too young to buy a record?
Up til I was about 10 years old, I think I only ever really listened to Queen and Michael Jackson. There would have been plenty of other things, but these were the main two for me.
Yes most of the stuff I listened to was in my Dads record collection, so it was mostly Beatles or Nat King cole, I was thinking more of the Pop songs that were around when you were young that you quite liked.
Well, okay then. Michael Jackson still counts for me then, up until Earth Song.
Anything else I mention will probably make you feel old. 
I heard a song on the radio today that I haven't listened to in years Kris Kross - Jump. It still sounds good to me. Keeping with the rap theme, Will Smith - Boom Shake The Room!

It's the Spice Girls isn't it?
I remember them when they were the Beverley Sisters
The Spice Girls was our Woodstock - they were small and yellow.
The Beatles 'Hard Days Night' 1st I bought, SO expensive prohibitive in those days!
My Mum and Dad loved 'Everly Brothers' and 'Elvis' I still rate them highly!
2 Unlimited and Snap.
The Outhere Brothers, too.
And, Bombastic by Shaggy.
My Dad had a lot of albums, so most of my favourites when I was very young were things he played; such as:

And Paul Simon's Call Me Al:

Still love both today!
My sister used to play Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell album all the time, which still stands up as cheesy greatness.
adam and the ants!
listened to kings of the wild frontier over and over and thought it was brilliant
think its utter shite now!
I liked Shaddap You Face rather a lot.
I also liked the Ghostbusters song and Black Lace's Agadoo; I had both singles on vinyl; the Agadoo one had drawings of a pineapple on the back showing you how to do the dance.

Ace! I like a few Manfred Man songs, witnessed by any FB friends here, Angelo & Fernando being the others.
Others classics, Leo Sayer's You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and When I Need You, Johnny Logan's What's Another Year and David Soul's Don't Give Up On Us.

Classics.
Before I was old enough to buy music I used to listen to my Dad's ELO "Time" album every single day. Loved it, still do. My favourite was "Yours Truly 2095" about a guy who wants to shag an android but it won't let him. Possibly one of the best lyrics ever;
"She is the latest in technology, almost mythology
But she has a heart of stone,
She has an IQ of 1001, she has a jumpsuit on
And she's also a telephone."
