Huey Lewis and the News was my band at the time. Played the record Sports until it was worn out.
Before that it was Elton John (don't laugh), but I calledhim Johnny Junko since I was three because of the outfit he wore on his '74 Greatest hits album.
But I dropped Huey once I heard Substance 1987.

I didn't know anything about Kraftwerk before May 1995
I knew Radio Activity by 1976 or so (very very young, indeed... one of my relatives' legacy in fact). So, by 1981, they were still my favourite with the short-waves of my radio coming second.

Actually the car I own is a 68 Pontiac, the car in the pic was some car in a field out in Oregon.....
...I think I'll hold off on the name for now, as I don't want to confuse people.....
....it's easier now since everyone knows who to hate.

Too bad you don't change your name to match your avatar. 60 Second Blowjob would be a great name! 
I know what you mean. I've thought about changing my name but didn't want to confuse people too much...Not that most would give a shit...
Would love to say it was the New York Dolls, but I couldn't find their records here, so I went with the other, more popular, glam queen Elton John. Yellow Brick Road album is the first one I ever bought. Lost interest in Elton when Caribou came out.
I`ve heard that Missy Jem had a Bay City Rollers T-Shirt when she was only 6. How cool is she!

10 Years old = 1981.
i remember liking Blondie, The Village People, Adam and The Ants and whatever cheese they pumped on am radio at the time.
I don't think my true music discovery started until about '83.
New Order came around in '85 because of, you guessed it, a girl i liked was a new order fan.

When I was 5 I loved "macho man" by the village people....used to sing it everywhere really loudand it embarrased my mother quite a bit.

1979 - Sparks and 'Beat The Clock' was the first single I ever bought, quickly followed by 'I Feel Love' (again produced by Giorgio Moroder) and quickly after that, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, John Foxx, Gary Numan and Kraftwerk.
First New Order purchase was in 1983 with...
... Confusion!
1979-81
That's 4th, 5th and 6th grade, and I didn't really start getting into music until 6th grade and it was more for songs - not artists.
Hits that school year that I remember:
"Another Brick in the Wall" - Pink Floyd "He's So Shy" - Pointer Sisters "Give Me The Night" - George Benson "Evil Woman" - ELO "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" - Michael Jackson Anything by The Bee Gees " " Air Supply " " Queen
