    Mine was Eve Young and the Homesteaders with Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer!! :p

    No number one album though as they didn't begin having album charts until 1956. Gosh I feel old all of a sudden. :rolleyes:

    I am "All shook up" by Elvis Presley.
    I am not a particular big fan of Elvis Presley - give me Elvis Costello rather.
