So nobody listened to Mud, Bay City Rollers or David Cassidy...

Not me -before my time. Mother liked abba but we didn't have a stereo, just a radio that I couldn't reach and it was always stuck on radio 4. I grew up in a remote part of the middle of nowhere
Eventually I saved up some money and bought a small portable radio and listened to talking heads, U2, simple minds and Duran Duran.
Watching live aid in 1985 was formative though as watching Bono go off into the crowd made me realise music wasn't set in stone once recorded (I had only ever heard it on the radio remember) and could be adapted on the hoof.
