Old Farts Only....Great Albums of our teenage years

[Blandmum]

I bought Yes, Close to the Edge on CD for £4.99 today.

Bloody Magic!

I know that some of it is cobblers, by I was 14 all over again

PS DH and the kids think I am bonkers because I'm playing it very loud.

What music makes you remember being a teenager? (no 80s please , it will depress me )

How about Gene Pitney, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley then are they old enough?

Yes, as you will make me feel a bright young thing

mb but I am a nanna surely i qualify for old fart status

Only if you are a sit and knit nanna....not one of these new fangled nanna types

sit and knit no chance I am not a twin set and pearl girl just yet
I am a new fandango type

Love Santana. When I heared his most recent single on the radio, i though Fuck me, it is Carlos Santana.....such a distinvtive style

of course, Transformer Lou Reed what an AWESOME record

The Animals.

(Also Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Who etc but the Animals were my band.)

Anyone noticed their favourite (old) albums seem to be sold el-cheapo for around £3.99 on the old farts music stand in Asda? So lacking in credibilty they're virtually giving them away with the milk. Some I remember saving and saving to buy. REM's Green was three times the price years ago when I bought it.

I never know whether to be delighted to pick up CD's so cheaply or die of embarassment because they're obviously now considered naff and past it - a bit like me really
