Licensed to Ill was the first ever album I bought. Think I would have been 9.

And going to see Adam and the Ants in Portsmouth in May

Briefly excited and then google says otherwise – Adam, but no Ants…

Just gone down a youtube nostalga trip on this

Unfortunately doesn’t seem available anywhere as a digital download, still must visit my parents and get all those cases of vinyl.

Tom Robinson Band – Power in the Darkness

This is all turning out a bit ‘cool’.

Anyway, in the original spirit, the nostalgia-fest continues

The grid
Bassomatic
Bomb the bass
S’express

What’s considered “youth”?
Can’t say I’ve heard this since I was 14 or 15 and threw the sleeve across the room to my girlfriend, giving her a black eye. (She wouldn’t let me put on any punk) 😆

Older siblings meant I got exposed to some pretty good (subjective) stuff in my formative years, but this was the first album I bought with my very own money

There is also a bit of this

…still quite like it 😳

Somehow I avoided a crap music phase, so my first album was this.

Too young to remember the 80’s!

I loved that Berlin album. 🙂

Crass shaped my life (I was 14, 15).

Still got my ticket

Great voice.

Adam and the Ants, kings of the wild frontier when young and Stereo Mc’s connected when older.

The Carpenters
ABBA
Bee Gees
Blondie
Elvis – some of his songs not all.

Actually I have stopped listening to music for more than 10 years now …

Great voice.

Not any more. I saw him live at one of those Rewind type shows a couple of years back and he was all over the place.

I still listen to the vinyl albums of my youth, so I’ll have to go for a couple of pre-recorded cassettes I used to own, but which eventually got mangled:
Deep Purple – Fireball
Status Quo – On the level
Might have to look them up on Apple Music later…

Alice Cooper: Love it to Death, Billion Dollar Babies, Schools Out – haven’t listened to them for ages.

Black Sabbath: Vol 4

Lots of similar from the early/mid 70’s.

You lot are quite young aren’t you? 😉

What Klunk said. That and it’s follow-up, Nobody’s Heroes

There’s probably loads that I’ve really grown out of, or bought on a whim, listened to once, and never bothered with again. Berlin is one such, I think it’s probably the one cheesy posted, and there’s a Cher album upstairs somewhere.
I haven’t listened to Sabbath for years, and while I don’t mind hearing them on 6Records, I can’t say I’m in anyway rushing to rip my old albums into iTunes. ELP are another band I’ve not listened to for donks as well. I’ll have to have a shufti through my old CD’s and vinyl.
There’s quite a lot that I still listen to from way back, though.

ZZ Top – Eliminator.
This was my first Walkman tape although my mum couldn’t afford a Sony one so I think it was Aiwa?
My girlfriend got a Panasonic Walkman for Christmas that year and it cost over £200!!
She’s still got it here in the loft thirty years later.

Simple Minds New gold dream
Dire Straits Brothers in arms
Bowie Let’s Dance
Police Regatta de Blanc

I listened to Big Country The Crossing last night and it hadn’t aged well at all also it was remixed that made it sound really awful, couldn’t find the original.

I saw BC a short while ago (at Sin City, I think? You may know it. 😉 ). Mike Peters (The Alarm) was singing and only two members of the original band were left so it was a little like watching a tribute band. It was an excellent night, though, with the politest moshh pit I’ve ever been in. They even calmed down so I could take a photo of the band in action! Haven’t listened to The Crossing as a whole album for years.

After a short period of buying singles I decided that I should buy my first album which for some reason was this

To be played on this

Now though I know that Travis are really just an earlier shitter version of Coldplay
