Last year there was a great thread re music that you listened to as a teenager that you are still listening to.
Inspired by this I have had months and months of trawling through music neglected but not forgotten. In the process my 6 and 4 your old music lovers have gone nuts over some things (The Beatles, the Pixies, the Specials) and have been indifferent to others.
I am interested in what others are passing on and their experiences of doing so.
Below is the standout track from this process of discovery / rediscovery - A classic bit of white boy mod soul - the boy practices his Tim Rogers / Steve Marriott / Pete Townsend moves every time it comes on, but its hard to get him to do his piano lessons as all he wants is and axe
ENJOY

Would have to be this one, I still remember listening to it on a mates walkman for the first time. Couldn't believe anything could sound so amazing. First CD i ever owned...first CD to sell 1 million copies. Cutting edge video at the time too.
Recently, I tought myself to play the elecy guitar for one reason, so I could play along to this. Took a few years, but worth the effort. Right, time to torture the neighbours some more ![]()
Oliver - fantastic - but would have seriously tried playing this to your kids - if so pls play it to them again and post an accompanying video of said moment![]()

I am passing this guy on to the next gen.
Tim Buckley. First heard him in 1975 on this album "Greetings from L.A." and it blew me away. Sexiest singer I have ever heard.
Any Australian that did not pass on the music of the Great Joe Camilleri to their offspring would have to be declared just Un-Australian.
Here he is in 1979 in pretty good shape as he is today.
