Can't remember the first album I bought, I think it was a Smashing Pumpkins album LOL! Not a fan of them anymore.
The first song I ever danced too, when I was really little, was Walk Of Life by Dire Straits
Bands all young people need to know: Deep Purple, Rainbow, Saxon, Black Sabbath (and it's later reincarnation Heaven and Hell), Judas Priest, Iron Maiden.
Yes my tastes lean towards the heavy LOL!

I was at school in hawkes bay when dire straits toured and i'd swear half our school came down to the concert at athletic park and it was postponed one day due to weather so we all got in major trouble for taking two days off

another big kiwi hit back in the day

Since you seem to be stuck in the 80s and consider it suitably "old" (whatever that means) , I offer in addition to Clare Grogan, Big Country and Pat Benatar:
 
Amazulu
Madness
The Specials
 
More mainstream would be Dire Straits
NZ would be Dalvanius Prime and Patea Maori Club

I wdn't call it 'stuck' in the eighties. The night is long and we'll get to the 90's eventually. everyone shd just be glad we didn't start in the 60's

anyway... another great lady (one to turn gay for)

nope I don't know what you mean... there is no era restriction here - add your 90's stuff. tho I have noticed how incredibly WHITE our music is. Which is funny because I was seriously into Prince and Kid Creole and the Coconuts whn i was young. Can't find any decent Kid Creole classics but here is a recnt version of an old classic... he always had a great horn section and man i wanted a zoot suit

Viv = Antonio Vivaldi (Kennedy was a classical violinist with a punk haircut who spoke wiv a bit of a lundun accent)
 
George Phillip Telemann 1681-1767
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozrt 1765 - 1791
Arcangelo Corelli 1653 - 1713
 
My 90s stuff would be 1790s ...

I'm not a cretin and Gorecki & Verdi are my faves and my coming down music. but this is the thread started to try and woo the Justin Beibel lovers so classical will prob drive them further into disney culture. lol start a classical thread. i'll still have more links

someone put on the youtube link to Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth and I think we're alone now by Tiffany and then close this thread.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

I may have forgotten them, but I didn't forget the Metal Gods, Judas Priest But yes, Twisted Sister are a good band, and always happy to fly the heavy metal flag, which earns many points in my books hehe.

back to where we were again StealthKiwi

One of the tracks from the 80's that had a big influence on me as a musician in those days.
The recording production values were, at the time, totally unlike any other commercial music of the day.

Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWvzZCZF1gw
