Caravan - remember them well from my misspent youth! Remember them being played in the rollerena on occasion. To me they where a poor mans Moody Blues, but hey ho music is such an individual thing IMO.

The Smiths was a not thinly veiled dig my man - their most famous song - "Heaven knows I'm misserable now" just had to be your signasture tune LOL!

"Showaddywaddy" - REALLY? - what about the Bay city rollers? or Mud? jesus fella - they where included in the "mid/late 70's Shyte" I reffered to earlier - having said all that I did like a few bands from the 70's -TRex, The Who, Jethro Tull, Joy Division, Genesis - Saw Genesis at the Gaumont in Southampton in '75! and many more if I'm honest, but preffered the 80's

As alredy said - music is a very individual and personal thing

Total class- and so many people just didn't get the jokes, which always makes me laugh even more at the 'miserable' label.

I'm in a band and we do some Smiths stuff. Always crowd pleasers...

New model army, sisters of mercy , Mission, Cult, Nephilim for me.

"The time i think most clearly, the time i slip away
Is on the bus ride, that meanders, through these valleys of green and grey"

My favourite song about home.

Fav Northern soul is Duke Browner Cryin over you. . Into doo wop, Elvis, 60's Cliff. Load of early American 60's stuff. Drifters, Jay and the Americans.Too many to mention.

OMG

Now I really feel my age. Me and my brother were brought up on Frankie Laine. For those of you old enough to remember he sung the theme tune to Rawhide and Champion the Wonder Horse. We absolutely love him.

Other favourites Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Hollies, Searchers, Brenda Lee, Marc Bolan, ABBA, Eagles, Queen, Kaiser Chiefs, Dr Hook and loads more. Mostly 60's and 70's
