Think us early 70s lads had very mixed influences, reggaae/ska, glam rock, rock/prog rock, soul, punk and lots of us liked a mixture of all and I'm happy to say that my musical tastes have mostly been "left of centre, alternative" with quite a few differing influences. Sorry I can bore for England on the subject of music mateds wrote:Strange really 'cos I would have had you down as a soul boy.

Must be a generation thing. The type of music you liked seemed so important at the time and said loads about you and what "tribe" you were part of in a way that it does'nt now. The only "tribe" that transcended it was your football "tribe" and I think I would have even got on ok with greasy, Elvis loving rockers if they were gooners not that many greasy rockers ever went to the Arsenal thods wrote:Ha ha me too, I think Onebardgooner has opened a pandoras box with this threadcharliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Think us early 70s lads had very mixed influences, reggaae/ska, glam rock, rock/prog rock, soul, punk and lots of us liked a mixture of all and I'm happy to say that my musical tastes have mostly been "left of centre, alternative" with quite a few differing influences.

It's funny as I was raised on Stax and Motown by my elder brother - but if I liked something I liked it...and even though there were (music factions /Tribes) in school - I was only ever in a Football Tribe (Arsenal of course!) my best mate was a Gooner as well - but was into classical music - mind you he's now in an orchestra so!charliegeorgewhocanhitem wrote:Must be a generation thing.

If they did go to footy it was probably to some backwoods arse of a club like wolves or bristol rovers




I do remember saving up my paper round & pocket money for about 3 weeks to buy my first 45RPM - I had to walk to the nearest record shop 4 miles away - to buy it - I've still got that single the one and only:
"Reach Out (I'll Be There) The Four Tops...I still get shivers and tingles down me spine whenb I play / hear it now....

I was into prog and stuff too in a BIG way...I still Love Yes, Genesis (with PG) but love all sorts now - Funk, Classical, Jazz, Folk, Rock about the only stuff I'm not keen on is Gangster rap and the like
Went awol from school (Missed exams and got a right beating) to travel up to Crystal Palace Bowl to see Yes premier Close To The Edge...aaah those were the days...young, free - no mortgage...no debts...
