my Mum's home-made copy of the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, [/QUOTE]
God no - I have nightmares about that film. I was alwas forced into watching that as a kid by my mum and older sister-arrgggghh
But for me, music has always been a big part of my life. Muy Mum loves music and has a vast record collection (so I damaged in my youth). I started listning to Music at a very early age - my parents used to keep a radio on at night otherwise I would not sleep in my cot and would cry when they turned it off!!
Music for me started with Queen, then ML came next. In the early 90's I was not really into much chart music like GNR etc. I listend to Bin Jovi, Queen, ML, Bryan Adams and alot of county music. Mum loves soul and motown, so I always liked soul and motown, and still do now. In the late 90's I discovered bands like Zeps, Cream, Hendrix and still love the bands to this day. I heard the opening riff to the doors roadhouse blues, covered by a local band, and was hooked with that riff, and still love it today.
I got into Indie bands such as The Stereophonics, (who I still love now and have never missed a show since 97), Travis, Toploader etc. For me 1999 was the bets music year I can remember, some great music was released.
I sitll listen to the same stuff i did 20 years ago, and it never sounds old to me. I do like some new indie/rock music, but find alot of the music samey.
Music is a big part of my life, I have a tattoo on my back that says 'no music, no life' and its so true for me. I always have the digi radio on, either on tv or the radio and always do things music related.
Ive fortunate enough to have a freind whos mum works at Sheffield arena (my mum used to work their) and I do get tickets to see alot of people, some I would never pay to see or even listen to on the radio, but some have been amazing live - Robbie Williams, Tom Jones. Its good to have varied music style, Yes this site is about ML and ML fans and god I love Meat and the music, but its nice to listen to other stuff.
For me, the biggest type of Music I love is 60's. All genres from the 60s. I would have loved to have lived the 60s man
