    Yeah 1969 ehh guys (two years before I was born lol).
    Apparently there was Woodstock in the Usa, and there was the Chappaquidick incident there as well.
    And there was Ian Paisley shouting very loudly again lol, in his Norn Iron accent!.
    And the student Jan Palach killed himself, in the Czech protest against the Soviets invasion.
    And there was the Us soldiers refusing to follow orders in the Vietnam war, and there was the mysterious death of Brian Jones, of The Stones!. :eek:

    My 1969 went like this. Attempt to get born, medical emergency, get cut out instead, spend the first 2 weeks in the SCBU (it won’t surprise anyone who knows me that I even started my life unwell!), then eventually get discharged and spend the final 2 months of the 60s at home in Dodworth.

    1969, I was a Bob Dylan fan but when our trendy English teacher got us to bring LPs which were played in class for discussion, somebody brought "Court of the Crimson King". Most of us had never heard anything like it. It made a lasting impression on me, I've never properly recovered.:eek:

    Aug 1969 walked through the Gates oh HMS Ganges as a 15 yr old
    The begining of a 12 year playtime. Just about every major release of the 69 - 82 era brings back a place and time.

    I
    Good choice there and what an enlightened English teacher you had! I had one the same, at Broadway, and he got us interested in an Irish singer called David McWilliams. His one hit wonder was Days of Pearly Spencer. I bought the LP. I also started a life-long love of Crimson music with ITCOTCK by the way, that same year.

    Started at Agnes Road infant school in 1969. Not many memories really other than drinking free warm milk that had stood in a hot corridor for a couple of hours. The days before Thatcher took it away!

    Started 1969 living and working in Hull, ended it living and working in Derby. In between, a few different styles of music from 1969 to keep me movin' and a groovin'.

    Credence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, Proud Mary - John Fogerty still rocking in concert at 80.


    Zager and Evans - In The Year 2525


    Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer


    Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsburg(?) - Je t'aime ......


    Max Romeo - Wet Dream

    Fleetwood Mac - Albatross





    Harry J Allstars - The Liquidator





    Return of Django - The Upsetters
