I saw Genesis in Roundhay Park about 1987.
Fantastic but still only loved the Genesis album. The others seemed a bit of self indulgent twaddle.

Good call. Bought that in 1975. Loved playing Time through my posh headphones :obscene-birdiedoublered:

I could try to think of something more cool but even after 40 years Spotify told me I was in the top 1% of Cocteau Twins listeners :oops:
After that probably a kiss in the dream house or Hyena by Siouxsie and the Banshees

Given that I have a wide collection of music which I listen to randomly and love it all, this is a surprisingly easy question to answer:-
T'Pau - Bridge of Spies

It stands out because of the complete originality.
01-Heart and Soul
02-I Will Be With You
03-China in Your Hand
04-Friends Like These
05-Sex Talk

06-Bridge of Spies
07-Monkey House
08-Valentine
09-Thank You For Goodbye
10-You Give Up
11-China in Your Hand-Reprise

Every track a musical adventure that is incomparable to any other pop song I can think of. Anyone who recognises these tracks will instantly recall the melodic tags for each one. Carol Decker's all too fragile voice attacks the songs and wows the listener.

I just played China In Your Hand and whilst the voice is amazing, the band is a bit lightweight IMHO.
A remake with rock band behind would be cool :(

The best Greenday album is Dookie... followed by Insomniac.

Which on a semi-related note has reminded me what a cracking album Offsprings 'Smash' is.

Just like motorcycles, music from the 1990's is the best.
Fully agree on Dookie, and Smash is bloody brilliant too - those two lived in my oh-so-modern 5-disc CD changer in the 90s 😆

I'm off to see Greenday this year - 30 years since Dookie and 20 since American Idiot 😬

American Idiot was the sound track to my 2nd year of Uni, back when we thought Dubya was the most absurd president possible.

Music from the decade when you were a teenager, maybe your early 20s is the best. That's what most people mean when they say something like that.

Well, I do, and that's what's important, innit. :D

I did turn 13 in 1991.
