Came across this via Olly who was in turn inspired by Martin (sorry, no idea who you are Martin, but for better or for worse, likely the latter, you are on my radar now). As this is my first post on this marvellous, Pagecord Blog, it seemed like a good way to introduce myself. Like Olly, these are not necessarily the same as my five very best and favourite records (which may be another, more verbose post) but are 'five albums that shaped me', however, 'Badmotorfinger' is my untouchable best and favourite. Enjoy, everyone loves a list right?
- Soundgarden ~ 'Badmotorfinger'
- Peter Gabriel ~ 'So'
- Stiff Little Fingers ~ 'Nobody's Heroes'
- Neil Young ~ 'Live Rust'
- The Monkees ~ 'The Monkees'
I need to comment on the last one, it was my Mum's.
It was the record on which I learned to use turntable.
It was magic, so I kept doing it, it had made me magic too.
