Back in those days I only a tape deck (no vinyl) and I played Seventh Sojourn to death. A few others went the same way too. It was Hakwinds Silver Machine that inspired me to buy the In Search of Space album. Silver Machine was the groups only hit single I believe although they never released many. I loved that single so much I even painted my push bike silver...including the tyre's...

just an afterthought.

[Dmacca]

Never Mind The Bollocks - The Sex Pistols

Parallel lines - Blondie

Thats Life - Sham 69

Public Image - Public Image

A Tonic for the Troops - Boomtown Rats

So there it is then, this lot helped shape my musical (or not) interest. I became a teenager in 1978 these were the albums I remember that I listened to again and again with my mates and alone the first album that I actually brought and perhaps should have been mentioned was The Great Rock N Roll Swindle.

Happy Days.

Singles Going Steady - The Buzzcocks

I was only seventeen

I fell in love with a ***** queen

She told me: hold on

Her father was the leading man

Said: youre not welcome on our land

And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack

And put a whip across my back

Then told her: leave me

I was out for quite a time

Came back with her on my mind

Sweet little girl

She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen

Will she still be torn between

Her father and lover

One day I will go to him

Strong enough to fight and win

The kind of a man

That hell understand

Fooled ya :thumb04:

I feel sorry for the youth today...in the days of disposable music. I Dont think they will be fondly reflecting on the music of today in 20 yrs time. I think the likes of U2, Madonna, REM, Bruce Srpingsteen etc are the last of a dying breed, never to be repeated.

I have to disagree SMEE, you have a point in that there seems to be a lot more sh*te music around these days but i think thats just the cr@p that we get constantly shoved at us (marketed!) and all of the X-factor, britians got talent, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc..... p1ss that is always in your face everytime you turn on the TV or radio.

If you look about there are a still a lot of good bands. You just wont find them in the singles charts too often or recieving much coverage on TV or radio as the TV and radio channels are too busy earning money from reality show phone votes or from record companies for airplay. (I'm sure the annual fight to get some reality TV f***wit to the Xmas No.1 spot will be as annoying as ever).

There are a lot of good bands - you just have to look a little further.
