And just to complete the picture:
John Lennon: Hold My Hand by Don Cornell (might have inspired a certain early Beatles hit...)
Paul McCartney: I'll Be Home by Pat Boone
George Harrison: Young Love by Tab Hunter (well, he was the 'junior' member of the group)
Ringo Starr: Cara Mia by David Whitfield
Bob Dylan: US No 1: Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White by Perez Prado (UK No 1: different version of the same song, by Eddie Calvert)
Roy Orbison: The Third Man Theme by Anton Karas (an instrumental - ironic, for a man known for his vocal talents)
Tom Petty: Do Wah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann (the previous No 1 that month was Roy's Oh! Pretty Woman)
Eric Troyer: He's So Fine by The Chiffons (*Orchestra fans nod sagely*)
Parthenon Huxley: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by BJ Thomas (clearly good training for Standin' In them, years later)

Jeff: Moon River by Danny Williams (Well, the "Two drifters" line turned up in So Fine...) I can't imagine a more perfect song to sum up Jeff... a classic, sweet and sentimental, a real tearjerker... I love that damn song!!! I can't get through the final scene of Breakfast At Tiffany's without a good, ugly cry because of that stupid song.  |

Cat is thinking "Get a room!"
I first heard this song from my mom, who sang it to us. She had a pretty voice.

What a fantastic acting cat - they must have bribed it with many sardines to get it to put up with getting all wet and then squished between the two of them snogging. Give Cat an Oscar!

I'm a little late to the party, but... Oh dear lord, I figured it would be bad, but I was hoping it would be better than this. Mine was "This is How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. I suppose you could say it defined my life in that it cemented why I didn't listen to current pop music? All the best current music is typically more underground, and rarely played on the radio. Even as a teen I mostly listened to classic rock/classic alternative. It was around that time when I stared building my own music collection, though. PS: queenofthehours I remember being ostracized in elementary school because I didn't like the Spice Girls. I told the other girls I'd much rather listen to The Beatles, and they thought I was weird.  |

I'm a little late to the party, but... Oh dear lord, I figured it would be bad, but I was hoping it would be better than this. Mine was "This is How You Remind Me" by Nickelback. Oh, that’s not THAT bad... Mine is “Royals” by Lorde and thank goodness... I narrowly avoided “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus!  Music when I turned 14, defining? Now that I think about it, it coincides quite nicely with when I decided “I don’t like music with lyrics” and spent a LOT of time listening to movie soundtracks. From when I was 14 until I was 17—I cannot, for the life of me, recall a single pop song released during those years that I actually like. Then when I was 17 I found classic rock, and ELO shortly thereafter... and the rest is history! Not that I hadn’t heard classic rock before—I had always liked it when I heard it, when my dad introduced a particular song to me or whatnot—I just hadn’t had much exposure to it yet. My delving deeper into it probably owes partially to having gotten my driver’s license; my mom doesn’t like having the radio on in the car but once I was driving on my own, my dad’s classic rock station presets became a staple while driving... “well, maybe I do like music with lyrics...!” I had never realized that some people consider it weird to listen to The Beatles if you’re young, I’d always assumed that everyone likes The Beatles... I mean, they’re The Beatles!!! Just, y’know, kinda the biggest band in history??? Then this past year, my sister and I became hardcore Beatlemaniacs, and I found out just how wrong I was... kids asking “so, are you ever going to start listening to real music?” The nerve!  |

No.1 in the UK for me was Wings - Mull Of Kintyre, US Player - Baby Come Back, Canada Bee Gees -How Deep Is Your Love, Germany Wings again, Australia Wings AGAIN....
So nothing life changing there for me I guess.

, but we're OK. 
Apparently it's quite hard to see them with the naked eye, you need to be looking through a camera or other type of lens?
