Can still clearly remember Xmas 1979 stood in HMV with enough Xmas money for two albums - already knew one of them would be Fine Art Of Surfacing (Boomtown Rats) but couldn't decide between One Step Beyond (Madness) and The Wall (Pink Floyd) for the other one.

Eventually plumped for Camden's finest's album and 38 years and more than 50 gigs later I still see them as often as I can and whilst my musical tastes have changed and evolved - ska/Two Tone will always be my first musical love and the foundation of my tastes

The Jam - In the city

As a seven year old kid it just grabbed me the moment I heard the opening riff to the single , then as I grew I became a Mod and listened to Motown , 60's mod bands , northern soul , have a few albums I love that have came out after but because of that album I will always be a Mod and it's shaped the music I've listened to over the years since then

I replaced many of my LP's with CD's ....... only to find that the term 'digitally remastered' should have read - 'digitally dampened'.

Vinyl sounds so much better!

No 80's kids on here brought up on Stock, Aitken & Waterman?

Rick Astley - Whenever you need somebody, was the first album I bought as a 10yo and still love a bit of Fab Cafe in Manchester on a Saturday night for my 80's fix!

Saying that I'll listen to anything from the Beatles to Beastie Boys, Oasis to Otis Redding, Whitesnake to Wet Wet Wet.

Can’t remember 1st vinyl album though - possibly Diamond Dogs.

First CD - Dream of the blue turtles Sting.
