Do you still like the music you liked in your 20’s?

nostalgia is key to music and moods and life changes are easy to remember when you hear a song from the past it bring the pictures back from the locked room in your brain

funny thing is back in the late 70s early 80s was punk and ska mod and new wave and i hated synth music new romantics. but now i love listening to it and it brings more memorise back than the old stuff like punk and mod stuff. human league album dare is right up there with anything from that time period

Was very young when the Rollers were around (prob 4-8 ish), had a sticker of them on my bedroom door for years and thought Elvis was the lead singer! Music definitely evokes memories and feelings!

You could buy the rollers clothes. Everybody jumped on the bandwagon with trousers, shirts and jumpers. As you can imagine they were even more popular up here as they were Scots.

I always wanted a pair of the white flares with the tartan down the side. My mum, who couldn't sew for toffee, decided she would see a strip of tartan on a pair of trousers I already had. Go mum!

You can imagine how much of a pathetic imposter **** I looked in them. If I had worn them outside I would have been in a fight roughly every 12 minutes.

They never saw the light of day. I wish I had taken a photo of me in them though. I could have used it as my central piece of evidence at my mothers trial for crimes against fashion and reality.

For the reason I could never get the roller gear, I had to kid on I hated them. I certainly hated the breeks my ma cobbled together. She thought they were great. I told her she should wear them then.

I got a clip for my cheek. :)

My wee ma was the height of nothing, but she took shit off no one. Not even secret Roller fan kids who thought she was literally insane and could sew jack shit.

Her cooking was even worse than her tailoring.

But that's another story.

Inflammable material - SLF.
Breakfast in America - Supertramp.
Cool for Cats - Squeeze.
Voulez Vous - ABBA.
Replicas - Tubeway Army.
Saxon - Saxon.
Discovery - ELO.
Number 1 song in heaven - Sparks.
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division.
Highway to Hell - ACDC.
Down to Earth - Rainbow.
Off the Wall - Michael Jackson.
Quadrophenia - The Who.
In through the Out Door - Led Zep.
The Pleasure Principle - Gary Numan.
Head Games - Foreigner.
The Long Run - The Eagles.
Singles going steady - The Buzzcocks.
Regatta de Blanc - The Police.
Tusk - Fleetwood Mac.
One Step Beyond - Madness.
The fine art of Surfacing - The Boomtown Rats.
The Specials - The Specials.
Eat to the Beat - Blondie.
Setting Sons - The Jam.
The Wall - Pink Floyd.
London Calling - The Clash.
Quiet Life - Japan.


That will do for me. There's a shed loads of others that I have left out.

You would need a fucking shed to house all of those. :)

It depends on first release, condition etc etc but yes, he probably is rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

I have just over a thousand. Slowly building my collection.

They are all mint. All first release. Collecting music was his thing. His dad had a drink problem, so he never drank. He's a politician now but music is his first love.
