lol some of us keep keep hijacking other threads to waft off on tangents such as Pat Benetar & other such great music  icons that no one under the age of 30 has heard of so instead of waxing nostalgic in other people's thread heres our own one and maybe we'll convert some youngsters from lady gaga & justin biebel

Altered Images for me (Big Country also but they didn't have Clare Grogan).  Have mentioned this in another fred about Scottish advent calendars.
 
 
Edit:  going back a bit further Slade, T-Rex, Gary Glitter (the rocker, not the peado) and Lieutenant Pigeon.

Also as a bit of local curiosity. Anyone remember the Bulldog All Star Good Time Band?

A local version of Lieutenant Pigeon. One of my PE Teachers was in it (the little man in gumboots who jumped around on stage).

BASGTB where a bit of a local hit -they even made a commercial for an ice block (can't recall the name of it).

Lieutenant Pigeon were the bees knees: Mouldy Old Dough, Desperate Dan (was trying to find this for our Admiral Nelsen), Opus 2000 are the only ones i remember.

My thread and my only specification was music is olde... which I consider under 2000. And Gett Off was on Diamonds and Pearls released 1991 so 19yrs old which is older than some of the ones we're trying to wean off disney pop lol

My first record was a 45 rpm single from .... The New Seekers  "I'd like to teach the world to sing"
 
My first album that i bought with my own $$ that I earned all by myself was Pat Benatar, Crimes of Passion.
 
In between there were quite a few beatles albums and non-musical ones (Monty Python and the Goons).

My first album was Abbey Road by the Beatles that my mum bought me. Not when it came out, mind - I'm not that old!

First album I bought with own money was "Little Creatures" by Talking Heads, on the strength of this single -

Road to Nowhere

I just watched this video with my 3 year old son; he thought it was brilliant!

I always wondered who this song was by.  Max Headroom was the only place I heard it before youtube.
 
Thats also where I was introduced to a lot good music - How good was episode 1 of Max Headroom -I thought the whole series would be like that -a bit disappointed that the rest of it was just video clips..
