I don't mind being 'shit', then, I love Marc Bolan and there were more strings to his heavenly bow than just 'glam rock', he knew how to write a great pop song.

That said, I am a fan of original glam, so na na nee na na.

anyway, rubbish things:

21) brown

22) beige

23) turquoise

The back end of the 70s gave us some fantastic music, but other than that it was a horrible decade in which to spend the whole of your teens, as I did. I feel very little nostalgia for it. I lived on an estate which was, frankly, violent. Youth culture was fragmented to the point that if you belonged to a particular faction you were fair game for a kicking from any other faction. As much as I loved being a punk, so many of the memories involve running away from skins, rockers etc or having to fight your way out of a pub or club.

I discovered punk in the first place because a bunch of us were fleeing from Chelsea supporters following a midweek match at Bramall Lane, and scooted into the Top Rank, where the vastly underrated Vibrators were playing.

Then we got Thatcher and everything became even worse for a very long time......................

This thread should not exist and nor should the comment about Marc Bolan. I strike it all from the record.
