I was born at the end of 1969, just my luck that the youth culture I hit was all the "second summer of love", acid shite. Fucking hated it, the crappy music that you needed drugs to enjoy, the stupid clothes. The only place I could go in town on a weekend that played stuff I liked was upstairs in the Changing Lights. Ugh 1988 the year of acid house music. In fact 1988 and 89 were dog shit years for music. A lot were but my not so guilty pleasure is girl fronted guitar bands so there were The Primitives, Transvision Vamp, The Sugarcubes, The Motorcycle Boy, The Heartthrobs and my personal faves The Darling Buds. Sunday nights spent listening to Annie Nightingale for all the indie stuff |

Punk/Goth. Born in 1967, so missed out on any direct involvement in Punk as it happened, but listened to it all retrospectively into the 80’s. Then moved on to the post-punk/new  /early goth scene and really got involved in the live music of the mid-80’s. First bloke in Hudds with a pair of New Model Army-inspired clogs! |

Had a massive poster of her on my wall - bought from Harvest in town. Bloody good band too. |

I'm a bit similar jello, born the same year . Missed the "punk explosion" but in hindsight that probably wasn't too bad a thing. My first records were a bit uncool but first gigs were xpozez, the fall, and Christmas on Earth with vice squad , chron gen, the damned,Chelsea etc etc. Got right into new model army from the off and saw them probably 15 times between the first single and second album . Never seen them since . I was never into the clothes really . Though have developed an interest in clothes in later life . I probably tried a bit of a goth look but I looked a bit daft so knocked it on the head |

I was 16 in 1977 and the punk era was superb while it
lasted, but was generally hated by the likes of Radio 1
at the time and was ignored as much as possible.
Probably the best band I have ever seen was from
that era , Stiff Little Fingers , I saw them at
St Georges hall in Bradford and the atmosphere
was electric!
As a youth I would roar about on my Suzuki GT250 in a
black leather jacket with the leather tassels on.
I was bloody lucky not to have been killed.
Being born in 1961 was bloody lucky , I still love
the music of the 60s and fondly remember the Glam Rock
era and fantastic artists such a Bowie , Bands such
as Led Zep ,Deep purple, the Doors, and Pink Floyd
made a big impression on a young lad.
I never really associated myself with one particular cult
as I have such a liking for many types of music, ranging
through Classical ,Motown , Northern soul ,Rock , punk,
pop and easy listening.

You mention Chelsea, they are at the Parish on the 29th this month. I shall be there and coincidentally it will 41yrs to the day since I first saw them supporting Clash at Leeds  |

Yeah I saw they were playing the Parish. There is something which stops me going back to watch old punk bands.. they were of their time is my view. Lots of fat bald guys bouncing about talking about "anarchy". But I might be wrong about that and maybe should go down. I just imagine Gene October being about 70 and still trying to look 30. I had never heard any songs before I saw them but I remember them singing a really long version of "the right to work" which we all lapped up .. I later bought Evacuate (Which i really liked) and War Across the Nation then they became dead to me again .

1969, wore for school, doc martins, stay press trousers, grandad shirt, with bracers worn, skin head days were brill, imagine walking into school these days like that. Wasnt around for that but a lot of things I wear now nod toward that original 60s skin fashion, button down check shirts, stapress or levis, fred perry, sleeveless jumper or cardigans, boots or loafers or sambas. I was into punk at school and came into reggae via the Clash and then the two tone stuff. Listen mainly to early reggae and original ska or folk music these days. |

I stand at the back these days with a glass of Chardonnay tapping my foot anyway . I wouldn't travel to a gig unless it was gonna offer something different or something new anymore but as this is on my doorstep I am going down and will probably bump into some old mates too. I heven't followed Chelsea throughout their career so will just see how it goes. |

Dresser. Did you drink in Lincoln's? Dresser central in there. Yup, mid 80's. Went to uni, came back and it all changed.... Acid House changed everything around that time, 87, 88. The dresser scene was pretty cool and you didn't have to be into hooligan shit. I was at college around 1984 when it morphed from casual to dresser. Marshleeds was a cool character and at that time, Leeds seemed to be a bit ahead of us in the fashion sense. Around that time, a few of us got into the look without the scrapping. |

Nice one - thanks for the reminder about the clogs (haven't seen them in 10 years or so), was thinking about seeing them tonight in Leipzig in flip-flops! It's the annual gothic festival over the weekend here at the moment. |

Eldritch has always maintained that the Sisters of Mercy were/are a rock band and distances them from Goth. |

Althoughyou're going to say Disintegration by The Cure aren't you? Which I can't argue with. See post above. Three seminal albums. Technique was massively influenced by Acid House and Balearic beats and it is absolutely brilliant. |

A lot were but my not so guilty pleasure is girl fronted guitar bands so there were The Primitives, Transvision Vamp, The Sugarcubes, The Motorcycle Boy, The Heartthrobs and my personal faves The Darling Buds. Sunday nights spent listening to Annie Nightingale for all the indie stuff Wendy James from Transvision Vamp was my schoolboy crush. Had a massive poster of her on my wall - bought from Harvest in town. Bloody good band too. She is interviewed on a bbc4 programme about the 1988 totp that was on last night if you want to get it via iPlayer. You'll just have to ffwd through about 15mins of stock aitken and waterman crap first  |
