Guest Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Oh dear Sorry Lesley, you will have to forgive us poor old 40 somethings wittering on about David Bowie, The Sweet, cetra cetra! Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Don't forget the Wombles, Showaddywaddy, Mud and Alvin Stardust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Not to mention the hideous Gary Glitter and the Glitter Band! Olivia (p.s. I have to confess to going to see Showaddywaddy & Gary Glitter ooooh yes I remember, and Alice Cooper!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Alvin Stardust used to regularly visit his mum who was in an old people's home just round the corner from where we lived in England. Most of Genesis and Pink Floyd lived round there too (not in the old people's home, though they'd probably qualify now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 ...and who could forget Abba? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Oh Abba, definitely - we still play their CDs now! Gary Glitter - ugh, creepy! Never did like his hairy chest!! What about the Osmonds - no mention of them yet, or the Bay City Rollers or am I too sad ? Also if we're talking the 70s, we can't miss out Starsky and Hutch and Morecambe and Wise, now, can we??

Guest Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I've got a corker I have - does anybody remember Wizzard? YUCK ! (do you remember the lead singer, a big hairy geezer who looked like Hagrid with a stripe down his face and a cloak!!) Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yes, I do - Roy something was his name. He was a bit scary, wasn't he! Roy Wood - that was it!!! Can't miss mentioning Slade at this point, can we! Those clothes they used to wear, especially the guitar player with the very bad hairdo !

Trish Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 If #I remember correctly the guitar players name was Derick Hill.I'm not that sad, honest . It's my brother's name spelt differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Yes, I think you're right, Trish. He was very sad in the fashion department, wasn't he - the guitarist, not your brother! No - it's Dave Hill - had to look it up . The line up for anyone as sad as me was:- Noddy Holder: vocals, guitar Dave Hill: lead guitar, vocals Jimmy Lea: bass guitar, vocals Don Powell: drums Edited March 21, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 DAVE HILL !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 That's it I knew I was somewhere close. At that time my brother,( Derek)was a bit sad in the fashion department too. He was one of the first punks in our area, way before most people had heard of it, but I think it had more to do with not having to iron or mend clothes than taste in music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I was a bit alternative in the 70 (suppose I still am really, chickens etc) and I was very into Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Jon Anderson, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Genesis. Basically Prog Rock stuff was my main stay never really got into much pop then, more interested now thanks to the boys I can sing most of the charts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 My kind of girl!! ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" used to be one of my favourite records but I haven't got it on CD yet - that and "Tarkus"! Led Zeppelin -excellent. I heard "Stairway to Heaven" on the radio as we were pulling into Tesco the other night and made LSH sit in the car until it had finished - long song, isn't it ! LSH got me into Pink Floyd and Genesis. Going back to Stairway to Heaven - that song was playing in the theatre as my youngest was delivered. Great, you say? No, not really - it was the Rolf Harris version ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Oooo haven't heard Rolf Harris's version, what drugs where they giving you Kate Physical Graffiti has to be my favoutie Led Zep and we that I do have on cd. The rest I'm slowly getting hold of, fortunatley LSH has same tastes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Kate, there must have been some very evil person choosing the music in your delivery suite or had you done something really bad to upset them? The amount of pain I was in, I think that would have finished me off for good! Olivia (I used to, and still do, love Dark Side of the Moon, in fact I feel like listening to it right now!) (When I went through my old record collection recently my daughted held up an LP and said "mummy, what on earth is this - I immediately felt about 400 years old!)

Trish Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Ahh Dark Side of the Moon. Best memory of that is early 1980's. I knew the album well and we LSH, then boyfriend, and me went to the London Planetarium to see a show which used a lot of the music with a special laser show. Sitting in those reclining chairs staring at the weird lights and listening to that music, oh boy I feel about 18 again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Trish - no drugs could get me through the Rolf Harris version, no matter how strong! Olivia - I think it must have been on the radio because I heard them say "Stairway to Heaven" and I thought "fantastic" then the wobble board accompaniment started and my spirits sank!! If I hadn't just had an epidural, I would have been out of that theatre like a shot !! Yes, Dark Side of The Moon is excellent although the first time I listened to it was on headphones in the middle of the night when I should have been asleep and the bit where the clocks all start chiming nearly made me wet myself ! I jumped out of my skin !! My favourite CD is The Final Cut though - LSH prefers The Wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
