Bands you used to love as a teenager...

[MCFC BOB]

Placebo!

*hangs head in shame*

Yuck. They MURDERED 'Bigmouth Strikes Again.'

 

[Blue1973]

...but would never listen to now.

Off the top of my head:

Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Pop Will Eat Itself, Kingmaker, Senseless Things, New Fast Automatic Daffodils, Trashcan Sinatras, Ride, Curve, Pele, The Frank & Walters.

Ah, the memories.

Kingmaker is a great shout. Going to have to dust off my old eat yourself whole cassette (and then find a cassette player) to have a listen to that again!

in addition: the high, mock turtles, wonder stuff, jesus jones and (not strictly teenage years) ultrasound!

You've nicked my vinyl collection by the sounds of it! (Apart from Adam & the Ants - you must have knicked that off my sister ;-))

This plus New Model Army, Jesus and Mary Chain, Half Man Half Biscuit and a good few others. Good shout all the Carter USM fans too - I was in my 20s by then but still a good shout - Playing Mcr Academy in November.

 

[piffy on a rock bun]

The Stranglers,
The Undertones,
Thin Lizzy,
AC/DC,
Motorhead, (after a few pints of special brew)
Blondie, (not really for the music)
The Clash,
Never really got into new romantics but did like some electro pop, Kraftwerk, Human League etc,
& I am not afraid to admit I did like Status Quo up until they did that rag cup record.
