Dad: Lonnie Donegan, Garth Brooks, Dr Hook, Military guards tunes, Houghton Weavers.
With the exception of the first two on Mum’s list I can’t say I hold much affection for any of that lot.
Like Cavey, I think my three older siblings were more of an influence, not only in helping me know what I do like but also what I don’t. In the case of my two sisters I disliked almost everything they listened too (Nichola’s Meatloaf summer is horribly scarred into my brain). My brother had his Adam and The Ants phase; his Queen phase; his Michael Jackson and Prince phase; Terrence Trent D’Arby phase; but it was when he moved on to The Stone Roses, James, Acid House and a little Hip-Hop that he sparked my interest and fired my love of music. He moved out though shortly after when I was 10, so from that point on it was up to me to find my own path and ward off Nichola’s evil New Kids On The Block empire.
For good or bad though music was always on in the house, be it Radio 1, Top Of The Pops, The Chart Show or latterly MTV, and that more than anything influenced me, as it allowed me to shape my own tastes - or lack of them!Statistics: Posted by Shands — Sun Sep 15, 2013 12:26 pm
