Pop Years
 

Duran Duran, Japan, Bananarama, Haircut 100, Human League, ABC,Scritti Politti - I could go on.

1982 - my top pop year. I was 18, borderline New Romantic/Goth and so into music.

When was your year?

Re: Pop Years
 

I would say my year was the early to mid 70’s.
Mud, sweet, suzi quarto, status quo etc.

But I wasn't very good at doing the rubber legs. :D

But did you have tiger feet, Len?

Re: Pop Years
 

My main music years were 70 to 74, T Rex, The Doors, Eagles, Leo Sayer, Carpenters, Suzi Quatro. I was listening to Galaxy with a bunch of schoolkids at work this afternoon and the music of today just doesn't hit the spot somehow. Could I have been experiencing a senior moment?.

Desperado is one of my all time favourite songs!

Re: Pop Years
 

Just been watching that to Gayle it was very good :)

Hmm my year? Though I really like the 80's and aquired the nickname 'lil Miss 80's' from friends because of my liking for it, I would say mine was '93 .... I think. I was young, single, carefree and the music out at the time was music to dance to. I only need to hear Real McCoy and it puts me back in the Lar De's.

Thanx Gayle I'm feeling all nostalgic now lol! :D Better go and root my old casettes out :D

I was a smoothie at that time, complete with electric blue parallels and a green fish tail parker but then I so the light , I advanced and become a greebo, black back, smelly etc complete with badges studs and tassels. I even had a BSA C15 motor cycle. :D

Re: Pop Years

Re: Pop Years
 

2005 - The year i left school and 'the' festival year.
Ashcroft performing Bitter Sweet Symphony at Live8 after a 2 year hiatus; Pink Floyd reforming and The Who - all on the same stage!
Also saw Oasis at City Of Manchester Stadium in late July - best gig ever :D

16 years old and ever so slightly anarchaic, the best summer of my life was backed up by the perfect soundtrack :D

I hope it stands the test of time for you!

Re: Pop Years
 

1978-
Massively in love with Debbie Harry of Blondie, and was quite smug that I was into them before they charted this year with Denis.

The charts were full of late punk/early new wave to Disco. Everything from Siouxie and X-Ray Specs, to Sylvester and Chic.

I was thirteen, and was mainly wearing Italian suits, button down collar shirts, and very narrow suede ties. It was also the year when I started with a bunion, when I shoved my size ten, E-fitting plates of meat, into incredibly pointed shoes.



WE WANT YOU, WE WANT YOU, WE WANT YOU AS A NEW RECRUIT!
