Yah, boo, sucks to you !!! ABC, Steve Strange, Human League, OMD, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, all Ska & Mod groups = utter, utter ****** & crap!!! Factiest fact in the history of facts.
Later on in life it would have been Dept S - Is Vic there Emerald - Thin Liz I'm A Hog For You Baby - Dr. Feelgood
Not 40+ but The Jam Going Underground Adam and the Ants Prince Charming Kylie and Jason Especially for You
Age-ist post! Mine Missing You - John Waite Boys Of Summer Don Henley The Sign - Ace of Base (bit later if I'm honest)
It's her age. Actually her list is (and she told me this personal at the Yeovil game some years back) I'm a Pink Toothbrush - Max Bygraves The Gas Man Calls - Flanders and Swann Stranger On The Shore - Acker Bilk
RE: Hocus Pocus Highway Star Knights in White Satin "Really Like to See you Tonight" by John Ford Cole & England Dan ? Surprised that's not on your list ... along with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (about the right era, no?)
Not biting Never heard of the first one, but I do remember Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, but I suspect that's not what you mean. Anyway what about "Let's Dance" by Chris Montez? That's about the first record I can remember - one of those round black plastic things with grooves in it. Anyway stop moaning about my age I can't help it and I might get all depressed and miserable.
</p> sex and drugs and rock and roll - Ian Dury</p> dazed and confused - Led Zep</p> ace of spades - motorhead</p>
Teardrop Explodes - The Great Dominions (28b Newtown Rd, Colchester, just discovered Teardrop Explodes, circa 1984, aged 19) Julian Cope - Head Hang Low (heard this on Janice Long in a lonely candlelit bedsit in Colchester swotting for my resits, circa 1984, aged 19) Led Zeppelin - Ten years Gone (read an interview in Sounds where Robert Plant said this song was written about an ex girlfriend of his, who he subsequently met 10 years later and she was kinda .... different. I was going through my unrequited love phase with Stephanie Middleton at the time) </p>
I'd start with.... Everlasting Love by the Love Affair (starring Steve Ellis), then move onto Something in the air tonight by Thunderclap Newman (incidentally the only no 1 which Pete Townsend featured on) and then top it all off with Rod Stewart - Maggie May. Absolute class.</p> I Thank You (nodding2fingers) (clap) (nodding2fingers) (clap) (nodding2fingers) (clap) </p>
