Nothing much strange there to me, ow!
Kraftwerk's awesome! I adore Ultravox and The Cars.
The Bee-Gees (early era: '67-'74) & The Grass Roots
were the musical milk I was weaned on (as well as The
Guess Who) I came to admire the Joy Division later on
into the '80's. I was the kid with the hair past the
shoulders in sophomore year ('78) who sat in the courtyard
between periods blasting "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"
by Genesis and skipping lunch to work in the darkrooms
of Art Class. The music I listened to ranged from early Kansas,
Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Roxy Music, The Residents, early Devo,
Joni Mitchell, The Pretenders, Nina Hagen, Lene Lovich,
King Crimson and scores and scores of classical (Bach, Beethoven,
Tschaikovsky, Mahler, Debussy and Rachmaninoff to name a few.)

Yay - I've found more Buffy freaks! I love Spike - my cat is named after him! And Tigger, I was a huge Roxy Music fan.

Tee hee, I was a huge Bryan Ferry fan, if I'm honest it was him rather than Roxy Music as such, though I did love Avalon and the one they did before that... I loved his solo albums and those eccentric, slightly wacky cover versions he did, used to play them over and over...
But Buffy.... I have every season on video... Played them over and over again too.... Right up there with The Prisoner and GBH as my three best TV shows EVER...

Jcat - I had Bryan Ferry posters all over my bedroom and a scrapbook! I have all those solo albums. Love his version of Take me to the River. We really do have to meet soon.

I actually meant meet Bryan Ferry, but I guess you'll do.

My Clive Owen fetish is just a grownup version of my Bryan Ferry fetish - tall, dark and handsome. I'm nothing if not consistent in my taste!

Good grief, I remember KK's Bryan Ferry crush.

She used to swoon around the house and turn the radio up when one of his songs came on and woe betide the person who talked when he was singing.
Now as for me I had a huge picture of Beethoven on my wall and I absolutely thrashed the 5th symphony on our wee clam shell type stereo.Posted 3 years ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

Sibling love, in my house we had to listen to Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings otherwise it was nothing....dad ruled the radio!

Oh, Deb, I think that counts as an unhappy childhood, lol. I like Johnny and Waylon actually but I don't think I'd heard of them back then. I nicked my Dad's transistor radio and he never got it back... (used for listening to the cricket, I think, originally...)
I am trying to watch 1980s music vids, thanks to this thread, but because I'm on dial-up it takes about half an hour to download each one. One day I'll have broadband *wistfully*...

I can remember the family all listening to the radio in the days before we got a TV, this is also pre KK. By the time we got TV my brothers had either left home or lived in a room outside so I don't know what they listened to. We had a lot of Sesame Street thanks to KK and our favourite song was the Manamana song that we did as a duet.

Hope that one day soon you will have broadband! In my house, nothing was nicked without my dad knowing it...he was in charge of everything, even my mom didn't have a say in things.

Jcat so you're still on dial-up too. I have to search Airy's 'junk' for something to do with broadband and then when Meegz is here one weekend we're going to sign up for broadband. It'll make video chats with Airy so much better. I totally understand about the time downloading.

Did you become a rebellious teenager?

Either of you.

I joined the Army @ 18, there went my rebellious moments, lol!

Of course I wasn't rebellious. I went out with a bloke from a heavy metal band, then a geeky trumpeter with a computer fetish then a double bass orchestra/jazz/musical player who carted me all over the place on his trail bike. Ohhhhhhh, common denominator is music. Mr MS is the latter. Rebellious ? Nah, but Mum would probably disagree.

Ohh Mum and I argued like hell cats Jcat. I moved out at 18.

Deb, you can be rebellious now and if anyone gives you trouble just say you're growing old disgracefully and get used to it.

I needed to get away, far away from home and that was one way to do it...so the Army it was, plus no one else was doing it.
