Oh, man, my locker-partner in High School adored Adam Ant! (I was much more a fan of her other favourite group, U2)
Ah well aren't many artists, as they say, a bit temperamental by nature?

Thank you ozbound! As the partner of a long-time Douglas Adams fan, that number is already engraved on my mind in all perpetuity.

Hey, we children of the 70's are "Stayin' Alive" out here, Lems! Just can't shake the groove thing as well as I once was able!
(Ah, to have known music before MTV and CD's!....give me my old 8 track and vinyl!)

Goodness yes, the 8 track! My mum had one in her car - she used to play Diana Ross and the Supremes over and over again. Did you find that the tapes, if played too much, used to corrupt and spew out into the system you were playing them on and you then had to spend what seemed like an eternity retrieving them. Yards and yards (whoops sorry I should say metres and metres) of tape everywhere!
Groove on 70's kid.
Love
Lemmie

I'm definately a child of the 80's but had 3 older siblings who were children of the 70's so I was exposed to the best (and worst) of both growing up. As for music, my favorite has always been classic southern rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special but I've always listened to a little bit of everything. I was never a "fan" of Adam Ant, but I remember liking what I heard of his. These days though I've been doing the typical mother thing - hollering for my daughter to turn that radio down. Wouldn't be so bad if she would listen to the music I like.  These days I would give anything to have a turntable so I could torture her with my old albums - Prince, Bonjovi, Cinderella......I have to settle for Flashback Fridays on the local station. For all you children of the 80's, Fox has a new show starting this week. I groan everytime I see a commercial, but I can't wait to see it. Can you believe we really dressed like that??? Michelle  |

Oh, yes....the spewing of tape...something like Linda Blair and the pea-soup in the Excorist! And I still have my turn-table. But I had to go on a major man (as it were)hunt to find a belt for it! I still have my original copy of "Jesus Christ, Superstar" on vinyl...and finally broke down and replaced it with the ORIGINAL cast CD remaster! Cost me $32.00! It's an expensive hobby, trying to replace those old albums! (if they indeed have even been re-mastered!) Still trying to find Traffic's album...the one with "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys" a particular favorite of my SO. He had that one on both 8 track and vinyl...and both are long gone!
But I'll tell ya, you don't have to go to far to see the clothes of the 70's...I've seen my 11 year old niece wearing things that could have come out of my closet 25 years ago!
Oh, now I'm gonna start waxing nostalgic...but thanks for the memories!

Daisylee, Do a google search on the internet, I am sure you can probably get some of those oldies off the net, maybe some for free and maybe others you may have to pay for. Yes, I do agree it's an expensive hobby, especially now with CD's costing 20.00 plus a crack. I thought vinyl was expensive and only bought singles for a long time to get what I wanted to buy, so I have TON's (thousands) of vinyl 45's at mom and dad's just waiting to be played on a recorder. I just don't have one yet on our stereo system. We are slowly building up our system for the current day, and eventually a turntable will be needed for all my oldies but goodies. I sure hope they are still in playable condition. Chris68

Chris, I never left my country roots either.  Just finally branched out from them. Sounds like we could have been sisters.  As for record players... I have 2, one my mother is keeping for me and one on my old stereo system in the garage. We haven't gotten it hooked up yet here, but in LR we had it hooked up to the computer so that I could transfer the record to the computer, and from there to CD. Not as good of quality as a CD would be normally, but you get the full effect that you were used to hearing on the song, with all the record's hiss's and static. Then I got smart and hit some of the Napster take-offs out there. Found a lot of my songs that I have on album floating around out there (can you say almost every one of CW McCall's songs?!) and downloaded them for my enjoyment once again. Instead of me transferring it from record to computer, someone else did it for me. Man I love the internet! CountriGal

CG...and BTW, that would be fine by me, Sisters part that is! Anyway, need to get me a vinyl record player, maybe hubby will take note and decide on either a tape deck or a record player for my birthday in April. I think he mentioned that this year. Besides we spent way too much on entertainment equipment this Christmas and am still paying that off. But we needed to upgrade. We had a mini stereo system with a VCR and that was 8 years old and starting to show signs of wear and tear. The display on the VCR is starting to fade out, and I think DH says once it goes were done with it. Thankfully we have a new VCR this year, anafter Christmas sale. We also bought a new receiver and a CD/DVD player. So we have to slowly build from there. But CG, you were mentioning about some websites you can pull up music and record from, now you burned CD's correct? If you wouldn't mind would you either post or pm me some of those sites you went to? I have an alphabetical index card list by artist of all the music I have at mom and dads house at my house (no room for the vinly and no place to play them except at mom and dad's) and I miss hearing some of that old stuff. For what it's worth, it was mentioned a while ago about internet radio and I really enjoy Spinner. It has lots of variety of music and can select what I am in the mood for. Thanks to whoever mentioned that. Chris68
