Thought i'd start this thread because apart from being a Meat Loaf Fan, We all had to start somewhere with our musical journey. well I grew up on Motown and soul, I remeber at a young age, listening to Barry White's lp "Can't Get Enough" when my dad put it on, and i loved it, the others artists my dad and mum played were as follows

Jimmy Helms/The Defonics/Stylistics/The Drifters/Otis Redding/Jimmy Ruffin/Isley Brothers etc

My Best album I really loved was an Ronco Complilation LP called "Black Explosion", still have the album in excelleny condition. but do not play it as now have all the tracks on cd (took me a long time to find all tracks, as some obscure).

When in secondary school in 1981 - 1987, Everyone was into Chaka Khan, Duran, Duran and Wham, fair enough!!! (each to their own). I was the outcast there, listened to MEAT LOAF, everyone else thought i was weird because I didnt listen to there stuff - (oh well, so what), ever since 1981 then I've been in fan!!!

I do listen to other artists from All About Eve to Joe Cocker, Lagwagon to OMD and from Chris Rea to ZZ Top

But once in a while I go back to where it all started - to 70's black soul, hey just seen Matalan advert and the music that was playing was one of my childhood songs grew up with (The Delfonics - I didn't I blow your mind this time)

So Tell Me Yours!!!!!
