@ChippySuave Being from Liverpool & with parents who used to go to The Cavern, it had to be The Beatles (I later made my parents really proud by playing there myself). My Dad loved The Who & Kinks (still does, actually), my Mum The Stones so it was them. But Sweet were the first band I paid real attention to. I begged them to use my birthday money when this was on Top of the Pops, so by default this became the first single I ever bought.

Sweet - The Sixteens

Elvis, from my parents, hence the Avatar Then glam as a small kid. T-Rex, Gary Glitter (we didn't know! 🙃 ) Suzy Quatro, Bowie, Sweet

@killingfloorman Are you sure we're not brothers? I still love Gary Glitter's music, shame he's a twat.

My Dad's always fancied Suzi Quatro (and to this day is the 'famous person he'd be allowed to shag' lol). We met her together after seeing her with The Rubettes & Alvin Stardust. Saw her backstage and my Mum had to convince him to get a kiss from her! My Dad's an ex-policeman, big fella, hard as hell but turned into a blushing schoolboy that night 😆
