I left school in 89, so it was the start of Acid House for me, and for the life of me the only song I can think of is Ride on Time which I absolutely loath.

There and to the left a bit

Left school in 82, so right at the end of the whole Two Tone/Mod/New Wave thing (which I loved) and the beginning of the New Romantic stuff (which I mostly loathed).

Left in 82 - The 6th form common room had a record player that we all chipped in to buy. So we'd bring in our albums and blast the place.

Common room favourites from that time 81/82 were things like

Town called Malice - The Jam

The Hanging Garden - The Cure

Tom Sawyer - Rush

Abacab - Genesis

Gloria - U2

Don't break my heart again - Whitesnake

Run to the hills - Iron Maiden

Just to name a few...

I don;t think I had any musical taste beyond that of my parents at that age.

Music came later for me.

My mum confessed to me the other day that she loves two songs of Ken Dodd. One was Happiness and i forgot the other (a soppy one) in an attempt to block out this unexpected turn of events.

Fleetwood Mac, Ah-Ha, Heart, and Lisa Stansfield for me. Tango in the Night had been released in 87 so i played that and the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack. Also had the Top Gun Soundtrack.

My friends were into Bros, Kylie, Jason Donovan and Sonia.

My mate used to play the Buster soundtrack continuously everytime i popped round.

Top Ten songs of 1987 was

1. Rick Astley - never gonna give you up

2. Starship - nothing's gonna stop us

3. T'pau - china in your hands

4. Whitney Houston - I wanna dance with somebody

5. The Bee Gees - so you win again

6. Mel & Kim - respectable

7. MARRS - pump up the volume

8. Judy Boucher - can't be with you tonight

9. Pet Shop Boys - it's a sin

10. Madonna - la Isla Bonita

Which was the exact reason I was listening to Pink Floyd , Jimi Hendrix , The Doors and a few others instead
