way back in the 60s:

First single: House of the Rising Sun. - The Animals

My funniest memory of that song, is Mark Lamarr doing a very rousing rendition of it on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, even going way past the intro, to some young pretender from some modern, popular, beat combination (Kenzie? whoever the hell he is...) and him still not getting it, despite him "... knowing all the tunes..."

And then I quickly moved to Megadeth and Metalica :?

God I had awful taste for those few fledgling years.

i would have stuck to ninza tutles :evil:

First 7" single, Come on Eileen, 50p from Woolworths in Totnes High Street. Album? I think it was Zenyatta Mondatta (sp!!) by the Police.
