I remember all the westerns Vic mentioned and several more. My favorite was the theme to the Rebel "Johnny Yuma was a rebel".
It was a Beatles 45 I don't rememeber which one.
The Beatles first album in the states, don't remember it's name either.
I've forgotten more than most people will ever know. :lol:

I think Top Cat was about the Same time as the Flintstones
As far as tv themes, I remember Zorro from pretty early on, The 3 Stooges theme (recently introduced my daughter to the joys of the stooges)
First single was Satisfaction, got it from a friends sister for like a dime or 15 cents
First album was "Are you Experienced" think I may still have it around somewhere
Top Cat debuted in 1961, the Flintstones in 1960. They're older! Ah well, memory plays tricks on us as we age

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
TV Theme?
Knight Rider or Dukes of Hazzard
Single?
Fight for you Right - Beastie Boys
Album
Was probably Night Songs - Cinderella. The first one that really had an impact was Rust in Peace - Megadeth. Still rates as the top metal album of all time, imho.
Funny actually that I remember where I bought many of the landmark albums of my time. I grew up in a VERY small town, the only place to get tapes was Wal-Mart. And of course they were all censored. So everytime I would go on a trip of any kind out of town, I would buy stuff. I got that Megadeth tape on a band trip to Houston, Texas. I got Pantera - Vulgar Display and Pearl Jam - Ten both on a band trip to Orlando. With a calendar and time, I bet I could figure out exactly what date they were. Heh, for Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusions I got my girlfriend to pick it up when she went out of town the weekend after they were released. Good times, man, good times.
TV theme - The Flowerpot Men (Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!)
Single - Do You Wanna Dance - Cliff Richard (I know - but it was only 6/8d) (3 singles to £1!)
The Rolling Stones - The Rolling Stones

Gee thanks Vic... I keep getting old TV themes stuck in my head now.
At the moment, it's the Patty Duke Show ("they're cousins...")

Flowerpot Men was a kiddies programme - puppets - Bill and Ben were the main characters, there was also one called "Little Weed"....
Puppets brought something else to mind - I can vaguely remember a Gerry & Sylvia Anderson puppet show called Four Feather Falls, but i have clear memories of Supercar from the Andersons - that was before even Fireball XL5, Stingray and Thunderbirds.....
:D :D :D

Falling in love is like learning to play the guitar; first you learn to follow the rules, then you learn to play with your heart.
Shari Lewis and Lambchop were good, there was also Kukla, Fran and Ollie, and Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney

Sometimes in life you get shown the light,
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
