I think it was Tom Verlaine "Days On The Mountain" as well as Television's "Marquee Moon".

at 6 I was enthralled with the Oingo Boingo (Danny Elfman's band, brilliant from 78-85...not so much after, though the last record from 94 'Boingo' is great) record 'Good For Your Soul' which I picked from the shop for it's art of a weird looking figure in a tank top eating electricity. It deffo shaped me into what I am today....a huge impact on my artistic development. At 7 I heard the Beatles for the first time and Hey Jude and Revolution in particular captured my young juju. Also at 7 Hendrix entered my life and I loved manic Depression and Hey Joe...also G n' R's Appetite for Destruction came out and I fucking LOVED it. I wore that tape out in a matter of months and had to buy a second one! At 9 I was in the parking lot of the druggist with my stepdad inside when I heard Kashmir. This made me forget about G n R and I hummed it over and over for my family until my sister finally recognized it and gave me the tape. Zeppelin was almost all I listened to for about 2 years. Also that year I heard 'Stand' by REM. Upon getting the album 'Green' I became a pretty big REM fan. Everyone at school thought I was weird when I came in, a fifth grader, wearing the 'Green' t-shirt I had found at Musicland. Ok....I then discovered metal...particularly Anthrax. My metal phase lasted about a year and ran concurrent with the end of the Zep phase and the REM phase. I loved Anthrax's 'Among the Living' and 'State of Euphoria.' At 12 Pearl Jam's 'Ten' came out and the metal phase was over. I played that record over and over and over. I listen now and wonder what the hell it was that attracted me to it but I remember the feeling of awe I felt listening to 'Black' and 'Porch' At 13 John Zorn's Naked City and Mr. Bungle blew me away...after that I was all over the map, devouring music at an unprecedented rate. Goblin, Gary Numan, The Damned, Faust, Can, TMBG, Blur all followed.....by 17 I was a true music nerd.

Beatles-Red & Blue albums-still maintain that really these albums are all you need , the rest are just decoration and variations on themes found on these two Free-Live listened to this yesterday , absolutely superb Black Sabbath-Black Sabbath-equalled maybe, never bettered-my early music collection consisted of 3 Beatles compilations, all the Sabbath albums up to Technical Ecstasy and Tubular Bells, and a couple of singles by Curved Air & Atomic Rooster. I also had the Mary Poppins OST which I played quite a lot pretending to be ironic but really I liked it a lot Tangerine Dream-Zeit assumed this would be like Rubycon/Phaedra but as it was cheap I bought it. After initial surprise i.e when does it start, I grew to love it and still do Who ¡VLive @ Leeds-turbo nutter guitars-classic Ramones-Ramones never a regular Peel listener as a youth I heard this probably when it first came out as he was still playing prog at the time, ruined punk for me because I never thought the Pistols, Jam etc came anywhere near this Amon Duul 2 ¡VYeti , Status Quo-Live I remember buying these together in a record shop in St Marys Street in Southampton, the lad with me got the first Dead Boys lp and some other punky racket-I often wonder if he is still listening to them, I know I still listen to these Hawkwind-Hall Of The Mountain Grill-first Hawkwind LP I got, magic I suspect I¡¦m well over my 10 limit here so I¡¦ll avoid Thin Lizzy & Supertramp, The Doors, NMTB, oh the list is endless ƒº

As a pre-pubescent these singles ( amongst many others ) really grabbed me... Kinks - Waterloo Sunset Lovin' Spoonful - Daydream The Who - I Can See For Miles Beach Boys - Good Vibrations Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane Move - Fire Brigade Lorraine Ellison - Stay With Me Baby The Four Tops - Reach Out I'll Be There Diana Ross & The Supremes - Reflections Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Tears Of A Clown T.Rex - Ride A White Swan Although i should add that with the exception of the last one i didn't have these in my collection until much later in life ( thanks to wunnerful radio 1 for playing 'em ) But the one that totally warped my 9 year old head in 1970 was Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile - I heard this for the first time when it was released as a single after Jimi's death, it got to number 1 IIRC and Tony Blackburn refused to play it on his breakfast show 'cos he thought it was noisy crap. I'm not sure if the word wanker escaped my lips but i'm sure i thought it! Yeah, i know that's a dozen but i couldn't help myself, er, Louis Prima - King Of The Swingers from the Jungle Book soundtrack should really be on there too ! As a teenage schoolboy these LP's were formative ( and in some kinda personal chronology )... T. Rex - Electric Warrior ( was 10 still ) David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure Todd Rundgren - A Wizard / A True Star and Todd I got into sports a bit at this time and suddenly the choices became more macho.... SAHB - Next Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak Edit - Pink Fairies - Kings Of Oblivion - Shouldn't forget this or the fact that the inner fold out card poster of the 3 hairy fairies used to stare down at me from the bedroom wall. Hawkwind - Space Ritual ( Another LP sleeve that ended up on the bedroom wall ) Then i broke some bones and went all sensitive again.... John Martyn - Solid Air Then year zero came around ( 1978 for me out in the 'burbs ! )...... Television - Marquee Moon ( punk rockers can't play for shit, hahaha, on a personal level this is the most important record i own, life changing stuff ) which in turn let to the purchase of this.... Iggy & the Stooges - Raw Power - All it took was the intro and the opening line to Search & Destroy and i was hooked. Sorry about the autobiography but it beats working ! |
