First band you liked?

Post by **cassydale** » 05 Sep 2008, 06:29

Probably Slade for me,They always seemed to have a single in the charts and i liked them all but bands like Sweet & T-Rex also got a lot of my attention.

Then the summer of '76 came along and murmurings of a new music scene happening in London started to filter through,And the rest as they say is history .

Nostalgia aint what it used to be

First band i seriously got into were Adam And The Ants, around the time of Kings Of The Wild Frontier. Still play a lot of the CDs now, as theer are some cracking tunes in his back catalogue.

I was quite lucky though, in that my sisters played a lot of decent music, so from a fairly young age i was listening by default to things like The Stranglers, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, JOy Division and Rush.

For me it would have to be a toss up between Jimi Hendrix,The Stones, Jethro Tull & Cream. I was very young at the time and shared a room with my big sister,who was 12 years my senior.Probably Jimi Hendrix on reflection. I was, however,besotted by George Harrison aged 4 ( My Sweet Lord and all that).

Fine Young Cannibals since I was born. Not into one band in particular but it was mainly The Police, Vandross and maybe EMF.

You'd be about the same age as my children then Georgie!
I remember my daughter dancing to Fine Young Cannibals in nappies.

My daughter will be 21 later this month!
...which is why I'm sat here because I'm skint having bought her a present.

Ah but the 21st birthday, you have to be skint. She'll be an adult so you can send her on her way.

Obviously you shouldn't but I'm sure some parents can't wait for the day.
This was my 21st birthday pressie. I choose it with my mum and her mum down Walthamstow High Street (not off a stall!) so it means that little bit more. It's quite expensive for us so until I get it fitted I wear a ring in front of it! plus the added security of fat knuckles.

God bless The Undertones too. Once supported 'em and while we were on stage some one nicked our beer so they gave us their rider. True gents.
