Cougars and Silver Surfers, what was your taste in music, fashion and Political views in your Youth?

[Bobbisox]

Did you have strong political views back then?
what were you,,,Teddyboy/girl...Mod/Rocker...Punk
and did it influence your taste in music

[Bbbananas]

Hippy(ish) for me. See-through cheesecloth shirts, hippy long skirts, tight jeans with midriff showing. I drew the line at afghan coats because they stunk. Long black hair, black kohl around the eyes and bare feet.

I used to listen to Pink Floyd & Genesis (pre Phil Collins).

[Bobbisox]

I never could get away with Floyd Salla, Bill loves their music

[funnygirl]

In my younger days lived in hot pants whilst getting down to James Brown!

[Bobbisox]

Older people, especially pensioners, who use the net. I am not keen on it but then I am not keen on cougar either. We are women.

As for me - I was a goth, listened to The Smiths and was less a lot less political than I am now!

[Bobbisox]

in the arly 60s it was mostly the Liverpool sound and Motown but as I became a Mod, I was into The Stones, Moody Blues, funnily enough, never The Who though

[Bobbisox]

OK girls, not Silver Surfers..LOL

Cougars are women who date much younger men.

[funnygirl]

[mazie]

[Bbbananas]

Thank you Mark. They were never as good once Gabriel left. I saw them at Knebworth once, and Floyd at Wembley. Floyd were excellent - the first tour of The Wall.

[Bobbisox]
