    OK. Born in the year of our Lord 1961, on this day actually :). Most definitive moment, Born to Run, album. First concert, Stranglers. Love interest, Is she really going out with him and Teenage Kicks. First love, Debbie Harry ( obviously. Spot Avery threw his arms up and combed his hair over when she first adorned my lower sixth history books). First man crush, Ronnie Glavin.

    This lot were a huge part of my teenage years, me and my mates dancing around like idiots at house parties. Good politics underneath it too.

    I listened to healthy amount of rock growing in before my teens so it held me in good stead for the future. Teens revolved around.

    Terrorvision, NIN, Stone Temple Pilots, GnR, Bush, Silverchair, Soundgarden, RATM

    I'm 42 now and tbh it still revolves around them with a few additions.

    Mine...



    Worked at Butlins, Filey in 1973 and woke up one morning to the sound of Schizoid Man. We were in the staff "chalets" and generally only ever heard a mix of chart singles on the PA (only decent song was "Is there Life on Mars") so hearing this was a shock. A lad a few doors up had plugged his record player into the shaver point with an extension cable out onto the grass in front of the chalets. Within minutes a crowd had gathered to listen.

    Then when I got to Uni I played the **** out of Blur's Leisure. My housemates had to tell me to stop, it was just on repeat.

    It had the perfect blend of funky, poignant and heavy.

    And in my early teens it was Tears for Fears "Songs from the Big Chair" and Heaven 17 "Penthouse and Pavement"

    And throughout my teens and ever since then, Depeche Mode have been the soundtrack to my life.

    Saw Tears for Fears at Leeds a couple of years ago and we’ve got a weekend in Scarborough in July to see them in Peasholme Park - hope the weather is kind!

    Good old Spot. The comprehensive system & the painting of the oak panelling at Holgate gun mettle grey was the death of him sadly.

    Saw them at the Leadmill around the time this came out. I'd be in my twenties by then though.

    Spade were a very under rated band …. possibly because of their commercialism

    Very un
    derated in the US but not here imo anyway.
    Went to watch them live and it was as manic as watching any other top band or performer .
    They had the distinction of two audiences the Glam rock audience and the hard Rock audience , always a mixture of these at their concerts .
