    Slade. Wish Noddy had agreed to make a comeback. Everyone chanting their songs. TBF I think everyone was a ABBA fan even if rockers wouldn't admit at the time. :)

    agree - you can only categorise a mis-spent youth retrospectively because at the time you don't think it's being mis-spent -- if you know what I mean.

    ABBA ?
    Never but I did appreciate Waterloo as some new type of music at the time even though it wasn’t my barra.
    Loved the groups and music coming through the Seventies , the ones I’ve mentioned plus , Argent.Atomic Rooster , Golden Earing, Focus, to groups as Rubettes Showwadywady etc. Although the eighties threw some top groups up like Foreigner, Dire Straits REO Speedwagon etc .

    70s and 80s were really great times, so many happy, stress free times for me.

    There were a mixed bag in the eighties that’s for sure.
    U2 definitely and Big Country also Depeche Mode , New Order , couldn’t stand Duran Duran , Haircut one hundred etc though.

    90s was my era. Started the 90s as a school boy and ended them as a married Dad with a mortgage. But, by Christ, did I have some good times in between.
    Wages paid cash, in an envelope on a Friday and blew the lot over the following three days chasing birds round Whispers or No.7 Club at Wombwell.
    Very dubious period for music though.
    60s was before my time, but those of you who were teens or above, in the 60s were lucky enough to have been around when music was actually good. Better than good. When songs were written that remain classics to this day.
    Give me The Kinks or Who any day, over this modern age of shouty crap that they call music.

    2000s for me, but I think the mid 90s would have been a better time to reach drinking age. I loved our promotion aged 11, but I'd have loved to have gone out round tarn afterwards. I assume it's a point in time that will never be recaptured.

    Oh, I think I had a good idea it was being at least vaguely misspent, when I staggered into one of my final exams on a Tuesday, having only got home for a shower that morning after a ridiculous weekend of clubbing! Somehow managed to scrape a 2.2! But the amount of time I spend frequenting nightclubs led to some useful contacts in the music industry, a few very interesting years as a professional DJ mostly in the wilds of Russia, learning to speak Russian, meeting my wife, setting up a small business here, and generally being a happy camper in life. So was it misspent? In the conventional sense, yes. But as far as where my life path has taken me - well it's certainly not been dull.

    Similar tastes it appears. Like my pop rock n heavy rock n’all.. Love watching Oliver Dawson’s Saxon. and to be honest Marlon seen lots of Named bands but frequently tour clubs/pubs. Lots of good bands to watch. Edenthorn up and coming especially. (Planet Rock group of the year) The Force. The kill. Top gun.etc mainly covers.
    Edit. If I was put on the spot
    Best band seen live . Green day followed by U2
    Artist Cyndi lauper.

    1970's were great, punk was over way too soon, and I saw Blondie for the first time, a love that has never died.
