My elder sister still has all of Cliffs early recordings, she was a huge fan. I can honestly say, the only music I don`t like is modern jazz.

I think I'd go with the 60s, and yes, I like Roy Orbison too!  |

60s One of my favourites Roy Orbison, Favourite song, You Got It. Then there is Pretty Woman, always reminds me of my Mother, During the 60s when I was in my teenage years, my Stepfather hated my music, he said it is all bang bang. Now he was the old school, a very domineering man, never heard my Mother have any rows with him, what he said went no argument. Anyway, 20 odd years later my mother, had to have her lung removed for cancer. They had a caravan in Bridlington, they were stopping there while my Mother was recovering from the operation, we went through to see them and my Mother wanted to go for a short walk round the old town my Step Father stayed in the caravan. She said to us do you fancy a drink in that pub. We were sat chatting, when I said shall I put some music on the Juke Box, while I was there my Mother said have they got Pretty Woman, there was a small selection of golden oldies on there, Pretty Woman was on there, so I put it on, after sitting back down, I asked her why that one, her reply was, you used to play it over and over again. Two months later my Mother died. Now every time I hear that song, it reminds me of my Mother and on occasions brings a tear to my eye. |

I like Running Scared Tel. Orbison was a superb talent. Rosie, Steve, I too like the 70`s. Was a big fan of T Rex and The Sweet. In the 60`s it was Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch also Creedence Clearwater Revival.

I much prefer 60's/70's music to the modern stuff. My car radio's tuned to a station that players the oldies. Abba's definitely my favourite though. As a 70's child though, I was brought up on music on 7" and 12" vinyl discs, there was no such thing as downloads, CD's, and the only other format available was the cassette. I can even remember when there were only 3 tv channels to choose from before Channel 4 launched in November 1982, and even they didn't broadcast all day before Breakfast tv arrived in the 80's. No mobiles phones either. How quickly things have changed! |

Not always for the better, either.  I like "I drove all night" and "Heartbreak Radio". I've got them on my iPad. |

I think as Tel has pointerd out that many songs/records bring back memories good and bad and that can define whether or not you like a particular recording.
Someone said they don't like modern jazz. i agree and possibly the only other genre that I actively dislike is this modern rap rubbish. Thoroughly detest it and would sooner have my teeth pulled without anaesthetic than be forced to listen to it.
The seventies did have some good stuff I must admit but 1967 - 68 really excelled. Still remember Tony Blackburn opening Radio One with Flowers in the rain by the Move. A year or so later I was in civvy street and lorry driving when I had to stop the night at a certain transport cafe near Redruth. The place was packed because The Move were doing a gig there but the lady at the cafe let me stop in one of the special cabins and gave me a special HUGE truckers breakfast to make up for any inconvenience me being a regular and all. I've been a fan of Roy Wood ever since and have all the records featuring Roy, ELO, and Wizzard but can only blast them out in the car as my OH isn't a fan.

My sister and I used to go around there to be terrified by " Quatermass " We had our first tv in 1955 ready for the start of ITV, in Wales the commercial station was TWW. |
