Been busy around the house today fitting new light units on the stairs, hall, landings, lounge, dining room and bedroom, the result of some recent Ikea therapy of my other half.

Decided to crank the sound system up a tad   and played some of the music of my yoof - ELO, original Genesis, Yes, Floyd, Tull etc etc.  Didn't half bring back some really dusty memories of what I was upton waaaaay back then.  Genesis 'Duke' reminded me of sailing under Sydney Harbour Bridge on a scorching day on a particularly happy ship that I worked on then.     Twin V12 Stork Werkspoor medium speed 4 stroke diesels working through air/hydraulic clutches through a reduction gearbox and onto a single shaft.  Like meccanno, big(ish) bits for little hands....

Anyone else got any particular tracks that bring it all back and willing to share?

Bunking off school on Monday morning to buy Going Underground by The Jam & going round my mates house & playing it all day......

Boston; More than a feeling.

Totaling my Cortina and four other cars on the Forth Road Bridge at 5pm one Friday night in 1988. Boy was I popular!! The brake lights on the car in front of me didn't work. They certainly didn't work after I'd finished with it!!

Other than that anything by Iron Maiden, Asia, Van Halen, Kiss, Breakfast at Tiffanys by Deep Blue Something and various other random toons from the late 80's and early 90's.

Ah! Halcyon days!!  8-)

The Who, Quadraphinia (think Ive spelt it right)  The origonal album not the crappy film sound track.

Me and my mate were going on holiday to Torquay, travelling overnight, late seventies in my old M2 Cortina 1600E, tent in the boot, we were 18.

No cassette player and the radio was nakered, he had an old portable cassette player that the batteries ran flat around Stoke.

We were well in to that album, so we sang every track over and over again the rest of the way, to keep us entertained

I have it on CD now

Can ya see the real me, can ya, CAN YA.  

Happy days.

i'ma bit younger than you guys  

LFO - Frequencies & Tricky Disco's Tricky Disco -   reminds me of trampling through fields in stirling in the pitch dark trying to find the secret rave.....trying to follow the sounds and ending up back where we started.....

Kernkraft 400`s Zombie Nation reminds me of Manumission in Ibiza a few years and still makes me tingle.

I think the oldies call it Acid House Music and its normally associated with  

And going waaaay back anything by The Police or Madness reminds me secondary school and my Yugo Zastava and MK II escort

Aye, but the film did have a rather tasty Leslie Ash in it (before she let herself go )
