    I'd just been to visit my girlfriend at uni to split up with her, didn't want to do it over the phone. I remember being sat on the coach heading back home, there was the most glorious sunset, this song was on my walkman and I instantly new I'd done the right thing for both of us. As it happens, I was right, she's doing great and I'm doing great.

    Teenage years are tough as fu ck but you do pick up a load of useful experience along the road...

    Well my teens covered 1973 to 1979, I lived through Glam rock to Punk Rock, with the Bay City Rollers in between. The rise of Northern Soul and of course Disco. I’ve chosen this as I thought the early Dire Straits stuff was their best. I love this song

    1979 - 1984.
    Dunno where to start. Disco, Punk, Mods, rock. Never a fan of new romantics.

    Got me thinking now .....

    I was a bit lost in my teens. Hated school, went backwards, crap at home. But I managed a fantastic 6 week holiday in Canada. Lots of prog / soft rock about in 82 Canada. Loved Asia, Heat of the Moment but every station, on a 3k mile road trip across the country played this. It has stuck.

    Used to get off the bus outside the old library on my way to college (Honeywell or Hudds Road, to retake my GCSE Science), and the Libs soundtracked just about every morning.

    It's a bit like early Cars. Guitar break is a bit naff, but has something.

    This was 4 years earlier, but brilliant:

    Cud were my late teenage band. The first band I sort of discovered myself and the first band that I could truly relate to. High camp, glam and kitsch with a provincial slant. I've seen them live more than any other band and they were the first band that helped me find me.

    Beautiful song! I was about 9 when this song came out & It was my first real foray into music & understanding that I can find stuff I like rather than going with trends, which at the time was stuff like The Spice Girls, Westlife & all that manufactured pop rubbish.

    All superb.

    Jilted Generation was fu cking ace. Their Law with Pop Will Eat Itself was on most of my tapes.

    Infernal Love was a massive departure from Troublegum but it was just as good.

    Must have seen Terrorvision about 20 times over the years!
