One of my favourites too. And he's a Worthing boy done good.

His autobio's an interesting read. An eventful life in more ways than one, and he does cover the Worthing part.

There have been a lot of awesome tunes on this thread but have to say Blue Monday was a game changer for me,

I was a Rock Fan & despised Dance Music although I was comfortable with German electronica such as Neu!, Kraftwerk and the inevitable Tangerine Dream.

New Order completely blew me away, they mixed rock/electronica/dance and they were local boys (at the time) as well.

EDIT: Sorry Gillian - they weren't just boys of course!

The first new wave band to move to electronic dance. Someone told me recently that the legendary Georgio Moroder admitted that New Order influenced his future work. Until then, he was thought of as the godfather of electronic dance music.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Neil Young Sample and hold

I adored Clare Grogan.

We could easily have a whole new thread of favourite Talk Talk songs!

I think I'd rather see them reform than The Smiths or The Jam.

I think I read a while back that Mark Hollis retired circa 15 years ago, he actually meant it and has stuck to his guns.

Very unsual when all and sundry have made comebacks.

For an ageing Metalhead.

Has to be this!
Loved it so much, I have it as a Tattoo

Plus I guess I'm duty bound to this:-

Amazing how fresh that sounds, maybe not the vocals of course but the track could easily sit inside a techno set in 2017.
