what was your 'very' favourite decade for music?

[Bobbisox]

mine, no suprise here, was the 60s
Can you remember the first record you bought
God, that sounds so ancient now with the age of CD/Blueray/DVD

[andy-hughes]

1970's - for that time in my life, and the chance to see world-famous artists before they got to stadium level.

David Bowie at the Victoria Hall in Hanley
Pink Floyd at Trentham Gardens

list too long to continue here ...

BTW Welshyorkie - if you were around then, you'll remember that Abba were about as cool as Blazing Squad - no 'serious'music fan would go near them!

Personally, I loved them even then, braved the insults and had tickets to see them at Bingley Hall, Stafford, but had to go on a course, and missed the gig.

Nowadays, everyone talks as though Abba have always been cool, and everyone loved them - that is simply not so - nostalgia alters history yet again.

[Bobbisox]

well it was seasonal mazie..ha-ha
WELSH I was a married woman by then so tying a tartyan scarf to my waist and wrists?
well I would have be carted away..:-o(

[WELSHYORKIE]

OMG somebody just reminded me of my favopurite opening line from a country song - Goes something like - I beg your pardon,
I didn't p!ss in your rose garden

Lynn Anderson's Rose Garden if I remember correctly

[Bobbisox]

yoga and those brightly coloured shoes and bags...

[WELSHYORKIE]

Andy, there was only ever one good thing about Abba and she was blonde!

[Bobbisox]

WELSHY, you're a funny 'un ;-)

[WELSHYORKIE]

I try my best, Bobbi, I try my best If my long term memory reboots itself, I'll see if I can dredge up some more 'alternative' lines. Something along the lines of the Barron Knights or even Judge Dread - now there was a filthy bu99er

[Bobbisox]

you always make me smile WELSHY ;-)

[WELSHYORKIE]

Why thank you, ma'am, you just made an old idiot very happy.

[woofgang]

yup, mid sixties to mid seventies. I was a teenager in Chelsea when the King's Road was in full bloom and you really could get drugs at (well outside) the Chelsea Drug Store. The store itself sold tiny beautiful enamelled silver hash pipes....wish I had bought one.
but...as in La Cage aux Folles, the best of times is NOW.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha
and you Sir, have made an old woman very happy

[boxtops]

Sixties, bobbi - my first record was the LP from the film "it's trad, Dad", with Helen Shapiro and Craig Douglas. I've still got it.

[Bobbisox]

great memories woof eh?
wow, boxy, I bet that could be worth something?

[jd_here]

50's and 60's, I fell out with modern pop music when Sgt Pepper came out.

[Bobbisox]

me too jd, I found that LP kinda weird

[WELSHYORKIE]

In that case Bobbi & jd the psychedelic era must have totally passed you by!!!
Hippies spouting 'peace, man' and 'ban the bomb'. I once went on a ban the bomb rally and not long after joined the RAF and on my first active posting, I had to guard a Vulcan bomber!!!

[Bobbisox]

stevie I loved the Mersey Sound, they turned out a singer/group nearly every week, did you ever go to The Cavern Club?

[horseshoes]

First record was FBI - Shadows... First record bought woth my OWN money was Jumping Jack Flash in 1968. Late 60's and through the 70s best times. 80's music on the whole was awful and then along came Stone Roses and the whole Madchester scene to save us closely followed by Britpop. Loved it!
