New Order - Power, Corruption and Lies (1983). Totally changed my taste in music.

Actually it was Blue Monday which did it for me (it wasn't on the album), but they both came out around the same time. It was just so totally different to anything I'd heard and I've stuck with it ever since. I still listen to it loads.

My 10 Fave albums in no particular order:

Roman Beach Party - Celibate Rifles - Garage Punk at its finest.

For The Country - Dumptruck - Early Rem esque. No stand out songs but a solid album all the way through.

16 Lovers Lane - The Go-betweens. IMO Forster and Mclennan are the best songwriters ever and they reached their peak with this masterpiece. Criminally neglected by the masses.

Brave Words - The Chills. Another great song writer with the groups debut album. Who else could write a love song called Wet Blanket?

All Fools Day - The Saints - Well past the Kuepper/Bailey punk sound. Blues at a ceilidh was how someone described it to me once.

Starfish - The Church - Solid album like For The Country earlier has no weak spots and is a regular in the Splodgemobile for Fareham home matches.

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 - Midnight Oil - Forget Beds are burning. This is the Oils at their finest.

Hail - Straitjacket Fits - Sublime mix of songwriting from Shayne Carter the more punky sounds and Andrew Brough the more poppy songs. Worked so well - a shame they didn't last more than 2 albums before that old chestnut Irreconcileable differences.

George Best - Wedding Present. Say no more

Boogada Boogada Boogada - Screeching Weasel. Skatecore in its 1 1/2minute per song length at its finest.

Anyone with any queries or need any help planning a trip to Fareham Town FC - give me a bell.

Any pre 1979-80 Fareham Town programmes wanted plus any further memorabilia/press etc.

Splodge, I hardly know any of those at all!

Off the top of my head, and there will be a real scattergun approach to this so they are not in any order:

The Adventures - Theodore and Friends . The first band I "discovered" so rsponsible for all the CDs I buy every month. Also terriffic first 4 tracks for a debut.

A Flock of Seagulls - First album. Again packed with killer tracks.

Nightwish - Wishmaster. Probably their most varied and complete album of the Tarja era, combines folk and power metal in equal measures

Sonata Arctica - Winterhearts Guild. Power metal perfection.

Icehouse - Primitive Man - Australias answer to David Bowie. Less confusing and more poppy.

Dare - Out of the Silence - stunning melodic rock debut that sounds like it was written yesterday

Lovebugs - In every Waking Moment - Swiss Indie pop. Almost flawless.

Stone Roses - Stone Roses.

Metallica - Ride the Lightning. Without which I wouldnt have 1/3 of my CDs

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of Seventh Son - without which I wouldnt have half of them!

My favourites in no particular order.

Radical Dance Faction - Borderline Cases. Punky alternative dub with monotonal lyrics. Great album to use to test out the sound of a stereo / live PA / any new musical contraption.

The AK 47s - Don't Call Me Vanilla. Punk / ska / folk with a bit of anarchism thrown in. I think this was all they recorded which is a shame as they obviously knew how to write decent songs for the style of music they played.

Magazine - Real Life. I think this could nearly be classed as a classic album in punk / new wave circles. Every song is excellent but special mention goes to Shot By Both Sides. Duff radio stations like Absolute play certain songs to death until they get boring, Ever Fallen In Love?, Teenage Kicks etc. Shot By Both Sides could never get boring.

Crass - Penis Envy. The first Crass album I bought and, luckily, the one I still consider their best. This album changed my life forever as it opened my eyes and ears to the sound of 'anarcho punk'. If I'd bought 'Yes Sir, I Will' as my first Crass album I'd probably have never listened to them or any of the bands they spawned again and I'd be a completely different person to what I am now. In a bad way.

Alabama 3 - La Peste. A bit more up to date. A mix of loads of different genres. Alternative, blues, soul, gospel, acid house, country etc. Can listen to this over and over again.

Adam & The Ants - Dirk Wears White Sox & Kings Of The Wild Frontier. Dirk was art-school punk from 1979 but is still very listenable today. Kings saw Adam recruit a new band and change direction but is still a great album to listen to. Don't laugh, I'm being serious. I was drumming along to 'Antmusic' at work today. How can you not? By the time Prince Charming was released it was going downhill a bit but that has some good tracks, as do later albums. Dismiss at your peril.

Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy - Billy Bragg
London 0 Hull 4 - The Housemartins
30 Something - Carter USM
Automatic For The People - REM (amazingly bleak after Shiny Happy People etc etc)

But not by those of us who regularly tuned in to John Peel.

1) Bizarro - The Wedding Present (must be played ear-bleedingly loud though)
2) The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths (Morrissey & Marr's finest hour)
3) Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy - Billy Bragg
4) Automatic For The People - REM (amazingly bleak after Shiny Happy People etc etc)
5) Achtung Baby - U2 (not a massive U2 fan but just think this album holds your attention from start to finish)
6) This Leaden Pall - Half Man Half Biscuit (because me and Jamesie have debated this ad nauseam)
7) Nevermind - Nirvana

1) Nothing wrong with that.

2) It's a close run choice between this and Hatful Of Hollow.

3) Billy Bragg at his best. So few people realise he wrote A New England.

4) I'm not a huge fan of REM but do like the bleakness of the album which you've pointed out.

5) A good album but War, The unforgettable Fire, Rattle And Hum and All That You Can't Leave behind were better in my opinion.

6) HMHB must be one of the most underrated bands of all time.

7) Such a shame Kobain only turned out three albums before he topped himself.

'Day I Met God'.

October the 8th , 2012 wasn't it ?

That depends. Do you think you match the description in the lyrics? Tongue

Adam & The Ants/Day I Met God
Day I met god I got so carried away
Day I met god I got so carried away
Not with the vision But the streaks in his hair
Not with religion But the size of his knob

The day I met god
The day I met god It was pissing with rain And we went

Day I met god I got so carried away
Day I met god I got so carried away
Not with the vision But the streaks in his hair
Not with the vicars Or the nuns or the priests

The day I met god, the day I met the big boy
It was pissing with rain And we went
And the herald angels sang Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh....

We were coming back in the van
From milan
And I saw god right there
