I used to LOVE Adam Ant. I had his poster on my wall when I was about four.

And I used to know all the words to 'Another brick in the wall' when I was teeny too.<br /><br />My boss used to have a mobile disco called Electric Orange when he was a lot younger than he is now and had long hair and a natty hat and logo t-shirt. He foolishly showed us the photos at work. Did you have a DJ 'uniform' too? Great post, even if I don’t know some of the bands you’re talking about! I used to LOVE Adam Ant.

I used to buy Melody Maker just so I didnt have to buy NME. And Smash Hits, my god how I loved it... like you, my introduction into music at a young age. My first ever singles were 2 purchases, one Adam and the Ants and one by Toyah, I though I was the coolest 3yr old on the block!<br /><br /><br />My first gig isnt as cool as u2, but I went to see a-ha in Brighton. I am off to see them in Dec as well, 6th row seats.. I'm (sadly) well excited!!<br /><br />Nice pic of the vinyl btw... I can smell them now!

Aside from me having about the same vocal range as him, thus making him my future karaoke artist of choice, he can just GET YOU. Somehow, and I'm sure a musicologist could tell me why, his songs build in certain ways that are almost like emotional blackmai: you are powerless to resist the progression of the song!<br /><br />Ailsab: Yeh, it used to really exciting.
