I was ten. Birthday present. By the time I could afford to buy records, my taste had changed.

Mainly bought singles after that.

 

‘If I Fell’ is the best Beatles record ever.

Two States - we want Two States! :)

I could listen to Loretta's Scars over and over.....

I’ve listened to all sorts. Would totally say shaped my taste in music though because I like totally different stuff now. The albums I used to listen to a lot though are:-

 

Twenty Golden Crates - Macc Lads

Pills n thrills and bellyaches - Happy Monday’s

Come Home - James

Stone Roses - Stone Roses

Mother Nature calls - Cast

Adam and the Ants - Kings of the Wild Frontier - I still love this LP, first music that felt my own, not long out of nappies.

 

Michael Jackson - Thriller/Bad - I won't bullshit and swerve/deny this one - everyone my age loved Jacko before, well, y'know...

 

Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction - got me into metal AND drinking - I've often thought of legal action...

 

Slayer - Reign In Blood - led me down a more extreme path that led to total devotion to 'the scene'; tape trading, record collecting obsessively, gigs, guitars, doing a 'zine, meeting and interviewing and writing to bands - it cost me any female attention though :)

 

Primal Scream - Screamadelica - turned me from the previous path onto all electronica, Mondays, Roses, Tricky, Leftfield, Underworld, Detroit, Chicago, 808 State, New Order - the lot...(I also got my hair cut, smartened myself up, got some female attention finally ;))
