            Seeing as that big soft bear D666 was apparently "thinking about" me when he made this thread, I better contribute. I'm not even going to try and "be cool", this is the genuinely the crap I listened to at very distinct stages of my life.

            The first album which I ever bought, I was about 7 I think. No accounting for taste.

            First band I got properly obsessed with and my introduction to real METAL !!!! My mother took me to see Europe when I was 10, she died when I was 11. They're laughable as a group but will always be special to me.

            My first ongoing musical obsession, and from the greatest Rock album ever (imo), when they were good they were untouchable and they have never left my top 5 bands.

            This band carried me through all the important shit you go through in your early to mid teens, sex, drugs and rock n roll. I lost my virginity listening to FNM, blazed my first jay to FNM, learned to kickflip to FNM, and got arrested listening to FNM. I saw them 5 times on 5 tours and they were Epic (pun intended) right until Big Jim got sacked off.

            Continued….

            Made in England, clothed in Japan, fed in America and drunk in Belgium !

              In my late teens I became a total "indie kid". Madchester was happening and we all wore baggy jeans and baggy hoodies with "bowl head" hair cuts.

              This phase lasted a loooooong time, so it warrants 3 videos.

              From here I began to "embrace my roots", and went all Irish.

                Around this time (late teens/ early twenties), I rekindled my love of skating and the whole old scene including the music.

                Possibly more than any other song, this song lyrically says more about my mindset from the death of my other to present day.

                From here my music taste kinda mellowed I guess to where it is today. In the last few years I've gotten into some really great bands, I like bands who have something to say for themselves and make music with a point to it.

                So my final selections are…

                Honourable mentions to….

                The Beastie Boys
                The Cult
                Aerosmith (early)
                The Eagles
                The Soup Dragons
                Neds Atomic Dustbin
                PWEI
                The Wonderstuff
                The Beautiful South

                    Well, I have a very embarrassing eclectic musical life journey, ever the 'indecisive', mega will testify to this.

                    First ever record owed, I won at the grand age of 4 in a dancing competition at a local disco (sympathy win, I'm sure) was by Adam and the Ants, Stand and deliver.  Still can't resist a good sing along to them now!
                    Adding the links, so you can laugh at me the next time you see me..

                    My first record player (delivered by Santa) came with my next phase of musical happiness, Madonna (obvious!) Shakin Stevens (I practised dancing on my toes everyday) and Talking Heads (this musical journey really is going to lead you to nowhere… of any interest anyway)

                    By this time I was truly loving the 80's (and still to this day, it's a massive cheese fest in our house when i get control of the IPOD dock, be warned if ever you come to one of our parties)
                    I was a HUGE Wham fan, bedroom was decorated with Wham posters, bead spreads and clock, thats as much as Mum and Dad would allow living in an army house, or possibly all they could take!  Besides this I had an infatuation with A-Ha, loved a bit of Tears for Fears and had brief flirt with Bros, there are more, but I feel I have already gone too far.
                    Wham

                    A-HA

                    Tears for Fears

                    TBC…

                      … approaching the late 80's and on occasions behind the trend, my taste changed again, and I started to listen to The Cure, i had a little thing for Robert Smith even though he was a little on the chunky side. This progressed into soft rock and Poison became my next tipple, quickly followed by Guns n Roses and iron Maiden. My Dad even suggested 'Bring your daughter to the Slaughter' as my walk down the isle song for our wedding!

                      this went on for a few years and in this time I also found Van Halen and reverted back to 1984 for a while 🙂

                        You are all most likely bored by now, or drunk, so I will skip through the next lot as fast as I can.

                        I also hit the rise of the Manchester music scene, but not at the same level as Mega, i listened to the usual suspects at this time, and when i was 18 l loved Oasis.  After this I kind of lost my way a bit and didn't overly take to many bands.  I stated listening to Texas, Tracy Chapman and a bit of Macy Grey

                        When I met Gav, I claimed i didn't like U2, but every time one of their songs played on MTV, I would say ' I didn't know they sang this'… so that started my next phase and I suddenly became a U2 fan.  I still listened to GnR a lot and other artists from my past like Susanna Hoff (Bangles)

                        Fast forward a few more years and I am now with Gav on the music front, 9 years of marriage and our musical tastes are starting to align, and mellow out.  Now we enjoy a bit of Arcade Fire, The Black Keys, Band of Horses and a little Noah and the Whale

                        but also influenced by Tom too, he went through a massive Kiss phase, and therefore so did we 🙂

                        This being said, my Mum was big on Motown, 60's and 70's music, and as kids my sister and I used to dance in the living room with my Mum to a number of her favourites, special memories ❤

                                    I basically assume if you lived in the UK during the Spice-alution, you were a rabid fan.
