i'm only 31 (SHE'S ONLY TWENTY NINE!!!!!!) sorry, i had to sing that Sex Pistols lyric there... but I've been buyiing ALBUMS since i was 16...
Since we're all in the musical spirit here, I thought it'd be interesting to see how many bands we could name that were near or maybe notso dear to our hearts... you know, genre wise...
I'ts funny, when I was about 17/18 we did an instore (instore = when the band shows up and the record store and generally signs autographs and bullshit like that) with the Ramones... that whas 1987 so they were definitely past their peak, but nonetheless they looked the part... they were pissed because there was such a crappy turnout, and someone asked them to sign a Village People album... they signed it and gave one of the people on the cover a little Hitler mustache...
neways... here's my fond list...
btw, does everyone here remember the Peel Sessions, lotsa good bands on those!
Ramones first 5 albums...
The Police (especially their firt album)
Wire (especially their first three albums)
Buzzcocks (just about anything except their most recent, very recent album)
The Clash
The Pistols (of course)
Joy Division/New Order
Bauhaus/Tones On Tail/Love + Rockets
early Elvis Costello
The Soft Boys (Robyn Hitchcocks old band)
the Modern Lovers first album
The Tubes just for "White pUNKs on Dope"
Most anything produced by Martin Hannet
This Mortal Coil/Dead Can Dance/Cocteau Twins
Psychic TV/Throbbing Gristle/Coil/Chris + Cosey
Caberet Voltaire/Clock DVA/Haffler Trio
...lotsa more where that came from, anyone else?
