Jeezus Kerrist! Am I glad I wasn't paying any attention to pop music throughout the 80s or what?! If even the dedicated indie-poppers of the list can get sucked into the dark and slimy underworld of Big Country t-shirt-wearing, there would have been no hope for a puir Midland preteen such as myself 10 years ago. But no, I adhered limpetlike to my tapes of Vivaldi concerti all those years ago, spurning the "charms" of Mr Michael Jackson etc. It does mean I have to catch up on The Smiths etc now, but I believe this is an acceptable effort to make in exchange for not owning anything by Satan's Bleachboy. What's the most hideously embarrassing record owned by a member of the list? Or have we done the embarrassing music thing before? My memory is going already...
