Big big influence on me as was Big A Little A and Nagasaki Nightmare

Pop really is ok

4.Never Mind the Bollocks-Sex Pistols
Music as rebellion

5.Kings of the Wild Frontier-Adam and the Ants
Shy boy loses inhibitions

6.Wonder Stuff- Eight Legged Groove Machine
And off I went to indiedom, NME and the Melody Maker(I was in the air force it could have been late 80s genesis and Rumours)

7.Louder than Bombs-The Smiths
I didn't like the Smiths I was informed by a friend I wasn't listening right, this is the album that changed that

8.Japanese Whispers-The Cure
The Walk is the reason I love The Cure and possibly Siouxsie and the Banshees(my all times)

9.Low Life-New Order
If I hadn't heard this I may not have gone back and listened to Joy Division

10.Blood Red Shoes-Box of Secrets
A restoration of enthusiasim

apologies to Bowie,Sweet,Lou Reed and many many more artists new and old who have shaped and continue to shape my musical tastes
