This afternoon I have been mostly playing random CDs from my teenage years.

James
Ash
Divine Comedy

I'd forgotten some of it is bloody great.

Anyone else got any favourites that remind them of their teenage years?

diving comedy , are you still drinking.

whoops. you know what I meant.

  I took it as some sort of wacky teenage pun.

  I've got loads and loads.

only because i.m pissed. :beers:

nah, just sloppyness.

disappointingly I am yet to have a drink today. I didn't have one yesterday either. weird.

the drug,s don,t work................................................................................verve classic.

I fucking hate that twat Ashcroft.

I am the only one though it would seem.

The Language of Thieves and Vagabonds - The Throbs (bet I'm the only one on the TEF who has this)

Appetite for Destruction - Guns N' Roses

Earth vs - The Wildhearts

thats a new one on me.

heads gone

heads gone where?

Like a more glam metal (or cock-rock if you prefer) version of GNR.  Very,very good.  Used to play it whilst playing Repton on my Spectrum.

Nirvana, Feeder, Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, Blur, Red Hot Chilli Peppers... the list goes on.

The Verve  8)

divine comedy are ace

Cast, Lightening Seeds and Len for me.

Although Ive currently been listening to the new Ministry chilled album 1991 - 2008 which is pretty good!

Kriss Kross  8)

ooh, manics, good shout sam, putting design for life on now.

or even Everything must go as the album is of course called.

Oh, and the Stereophonics as well - but they're still ace now.

Cast is a good shout, I've got a couple of their albums.

I've never been able to listen to the Lightning seeds again, seems rubbish now.

Was Len the steal my sunshine lot?

Is All That She Wants - Ace of Base, the greatest song ever written?

No

wasn't as good as 'I Saw the Sign'

It opened up her eyes y'know.

I might put a bit of Pulp on. Unfortunately I can't listen to Common People since the William Shatner version was made. Shatner is too epic.

e's and whizz is a great track too.

Ha ha, that song reminds me of a family holiday at Pontins when my sister:

a) decided to chuck a patio chair through the window of our chalet (she was only 7 or 8)

b) my sister fell out of the top bunk onto the floor and just carried on sleeping, didn't even wake up!

The most random song that reminds me of stuff is 'She's on the phone' by St Etienne, as sung by 30 drunk 17 year olds on a biology field trip to the Gower peninsula.

the wannadies were and still are amazing

on a random tangent I just read this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7426971.stm

the rest of Europe's fishermen are on strike, let's get out there and steal their quotas while they're not looking.

As a bonus I got three variations of 'There' into that sentence.\ :D /

  I quite like the Lightning Seeds, Lady.....fav track might be Sense, mainly because it features Terry Hall.

  The thing whereby you  associate events in your life with particular songs, which develops in the teen years, never leaves you....well I suppose it might if you grow up.

which, let's face it, is something none of us are planning on doing anytime soon.

 I'll drink to that  :beers:

me too, an '03 Blason Noir, tasty. :beers:

Bushey and Si might want to.

 I think Fred is nearly getting there.

I thought i was the only one who was going to add some old hip-pop as my teen tunes. Everyone else seems to talk of music which i look at as being quite recent. :? I recently bought Totally Krossed Out, for nostalgia's sake. I used to love "Jump" more than my parents.

Tunes by all of these gangsters fill me with memories. Snap, Rebel MC, Bobby Brown, Redhead Kingpin and the FBI crew, Salt and Pepper, Technotronic, Nina Cherry, Soul II Soul... I could carry on all night. I'm visiting YouTube.

Edit: Just stumbled across Heavy D & The Boys, Naughty By Nature, Arrested Development, i've said i could carry on, so i'm gonna stop before i write another essay.

KRS-1, BDP, Public Enemy...

Yes Len was steal my sunshine, ace track!

I also listened to corner shop the other day!  That video was super tack!

Get a job and have a wash  :D

i'm not saying i'm number one, oh sorry i lied, i'm number 1,2,3,4 and 5  8)

that cornershop album was great, don't think I have it though.

is he a yankee no im a londoner :D

Ah, Leicester's finest (or was that Showaddywaddy).  A mate used to work with singer of Cornershop in a pub that no longer exists...the two may be related.

  I thought it was Kasabian.

The KLF

 Make mine a 99

KLF were from Leicester?  Never knew that.

I beleive my old lecturer Sunie Fletcher had a kid with Bill Drummond of KLF fame. She used to talk about her days working for NME and MTV - then we found a blog about her by one of her old colleagues - her stock was raised when we read it!
