that have resonated with you ever since and become nostalgic choices of your own?

For me:
The Police
Queen/Freddy Mercury
Phil Collins
Simply Red
Chris Isaak

My Dad went through a big Simply Red phase. I don't think he ever listens to them now.

My Dad owned this VHS tape and I remember watching it aged 7 or 8.

Probably was the first time I'd ever seen a rock band but I was blown away and mesmerised by Freddie Mercury.

 

[the_dormouse]

Marty Robbins

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Whatever was on Radio 2 in the 60s. My old man would turn it up whenever some country & western tune came on. Consequently I can't stand that rhinestone cowboy stuff.

The main one my mam used to have on in the car was the last Queen album which was more of a Freddy Mercury solo album. Some absolutely brilliant tunes on there that I still love to this day.
