I remember telling the ones in work that I had just got Paul Young's greatest hits for a fiver of play.com and they all answered...."Who?????" :-\ :-\
O'Neil you are truly the king of WUM's I hope that you list is indeed a wind up and not a sample of your record collection. If it is from your own personal archive I'm glad you decided to follow football in such an enthusiastic fashion. It just shows how important where you born is in relation to future development.
My own choice of music from the 70/80s
Horslips
Thin Lizzy
Planxty
Moving Hearts
De Dannan
Undertones
Pistols
Springsteen
Neil young
Cash(he never went away you know)
Generational choice I know but what the heck!
