When you were growing up where did you come across your fave stuff for the first time?

I grew up in a small rural town and was (& remain) an avid consumer of music. My journey went something like;

 

• The cooler elements of my parents record collection
• Through friends at junior school / Top of the Pops 
• Being stuck at the parties of my parents' friends with their older cooler kids introducing me to their tastes
• Discovering stuff through the Rock / Alternative charts on mainstream shows like The Chart Show
• Reading the music press and learning which journalists I liked and taking chances.

I thought send in the clowns by Glynis Johns was in 1975?

Otherwise, no clue - Slade / Wizzard / Gary Glitter?

Slade all the way , mate. Massive fan , always have been. Got to share a stage with the Dave and Don version a few years back. Huge day for me.

One of my musical lightbulb moments was at secondary school studying for GSE music around 1980. One aspect was to listen to different musical styles. One of the albums was Dark Side of the Moon. I've been a massive Floyd fan ever since.
