Faith No More - Angel Dust
REM - Out Of Time
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
Pixies - Doolittle

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Bjork - Homogenic

Some of these wouldn't get anywhere near my all time top 15 now, but they all helped me get there.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Incidentally, I have left out best ofs and compilations. Had I not, then NME's 1993 'Singles of the Year' would had to have made it. Arrested Development, PJ Harvey, Belly, Elastica, Smashing Pumpkins, Sugar and Leftfield/Lydon were all on that little beauty.

In fact, I'm off to play it now.

Front 242 - 'Tyranny for You'
Bruce Springsteen - 'Tunnel of Love'
Led Zeppelin - 'Led Zeppelin II'
Garth Brooks - 'No Fences'

Age shouldn't really be an issue. I'm only 21 but have been most influenced by what my parents used to lisen to when I was a kid stuff like The Stones, Hendrix, BB King, Cat Stevens, The Byrds etc.

I've always felt quite lucky to have been brought up in a house where David Bowie* and The Jam LPs were played a helluva lot. That was hugely influential to me.

There are lots of gems in my Mum's vinyl collection such as Blondie, The Smiths and a fantastic old Motown compilation that I still love listening to when I'm back on the Island.



*Note to canveyshrimper - I found the programme from the Serious Moonlight Tour at Mum's the other day!

i spose, my housemate at uni's obsessed with santana, beatles, rolling stones, all that kind of stuff but it's never appealed to me...but yea, my dad's into rage, jamiroquai so i spose he did influence me, unlike my mum....i will NEVER listen to ronan keating if i dont have to!
