Great Topic!
I'm going to say that most music I listened to up until high school could be called "childhood" music. It consisted of pop, rock, metal, and kids music.
In 1983, I came across two "Adult" albums that really opened my eyes to "what all was out there..."
First was Wynton Marsalis' debut album Haydn, Hummel, L. Mozart: Trumped Concertos. I was an aspiring trumpet player at the time, and right then and there, I wanted to grow up to be like a black guy. He was amazing (still is).
Second, was Linda Ronstadt's album of standards "What's New", which she recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Not only is Ronstadt's voice amazing (she was at her peak vocally), the arrangements were perfectly matched to her strengths. It opened my ears to "The Great American Songbook".

I've been a Weird Al fan for about 25 years now so I guess I still listen to kids music. I was a big fan of bands like Motley Crue and Aerosmith and some of the hair metal when I was a kid in the 80s. Not sure if any of that is considered kids music.

Everyones going old school here, but I'd say mine was Arcade Fire with Funeral. My whole taste and view on music changed after that album.
But if we're going older stuff then definitely Rush.

For me it was Cheap Trick In Color. But Van Halen self title album is just as special to me

"Two Minutes to Midnight" by Iron Maiden and "Looks That Kill" by Motley Crue blew me away when they first came out. I was in middle school and that really got me into hard rock. That was basically the first step in my progression of becoming a serious music fan.

I can remember growing up and waking up on saturday mornings to Van Morrison, Otis Redding, Bill Withers, Allman Brothers, Cream and Zeppelin being played throughout the house until late at night.
I went through my phases but those bands will always be among my favorites.

My older brother received Meet The Beatles for Christmas in 1963. He was 5 years old at the time, and I was 4. We wore that album out. Several other Beatles albums were added to our collection over the next few years as well as others like the Beach Boys. But the next album that really had an impact on me was in 1968, the recording of Hair by the original Broadway cast. My father would play it frequently and sing along. He had a tough time explaining all of the drug and Vietnam references to his 9 year old son.

Throwing copper: live. Was going through my first romance at the time too, which made growing up even more appealing. When I hear all over you to this day I remember exactly how I felt during that time.

I believe it was when I was 8 when I really started to like my own music. My parents had us listen to their classic rock type music: eagles, doors, led zep, stones and others. I Was fortunate to have my parents start buying me albums when I was very young. So these albums were around 1994-1996 with the exception of Nevermind.
My coming out albums/artists was:
Green Day - Dookie and Insomniac
STP - Purple
Soundgarden - Down on the Upside
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness
311 - Blue album and Transistor
Nirvana - Nevermind
This pretty much started my love for new rock and is my favorite type of music. Love 90s rock the best however I still have plenty of new bands I like post 2000s.

Led Zeppelin
Prior to listening to them, I liked Kiss, Metallica, Judas Priest, and all of the hair metal bands.
But once I started listening to Zeppelin, I made my way to The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Who....

Kiss is still aimed at children. 12 year olds not 6 year olds, but still children.
I guess I never had childhood music unless it was KISS. By 6 years old I had my first Kiss Album. With my parents, I grew up listening to everything. Beatles, Blood Sweat & tears, Doobie Brothers, ELO, Elton John, Steve Miller, Beach Boys, to Motown & pop stuff my mom liked. We listened to all different kinds of stuff. Even Chuck Mangione. Maybe it was b/c my parents were so young at the time I was born and my dad had a musical background. I think around '83-84 is when I started expanding a little more into alternative, new wave, punk, college, etc. from reading Thrasher Magazine and Rolling Stone.

Paul Simon - Graceland was the first album I remember being played while in the car(tape) with my parents. I also remember dad playing Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore on vinyl when I was real little. I still have all 3 of his original copies in my collection. That Graceland tape is beat to hell and back but still gets put in every once in a while.
