I remember my roommate walking in the door with:Peter Gabriel
the Jam, (Setting Sons)
The Clash (Sandinista)
Simple Minds (New Gold Dream) or was it (Sparkle in the Rain)?
Kraftwerk (Computer World)
Killing Joke,
Silicon Teens
Gang of Four, - (Songs of the Free)
and the number 1 record of all time: Joy Division's Closer..Truly and indistputably the best year in music ever IMO.
(Yes, I know, there isn't a soul who's ever read anything here who'll agree with the above).You're right, it's us getting older, looking back with nostalgia of who we were, - not a real, honest sampling of what's currently out there; that's really just as good to the those that it affects...
The problem of leisure, what to do for pleasure. Ideal love a new purchase, a market of the senses. Dream of the perfect life.
