Ahh music has played a big part for me over the years. I was lucky to have older brothers and so got introduce to more adult music when I was quite young. I was the only 10 year old I knew who had even heard of Led Zeppelin let along know the words to Stairway to Heaven.

But as you grow so your musics palette grows with you and so through school and college I was forever swapping tapes with friends and soon we would all start going to concerts together. Those were bonding experiences where you felt so grown up and where parties and under age drinking were the stuff of life.

Going to University brought more music my way as the Manchester scene was very big at the time. Plus I started making friends from all over the world and so it was not long before I was sharing music from the US, Canada Australia, Holland, Romania and more.

If I have a regret it is that I don't take time and listen to albums any more. Life is just too busy it seems to take time where I can just lie down and listen to music. This is a shame because I have grown older I have become more and more obsessed with album themes and journeys. Some artists and bands so carefully work in stories into their songs and link them , however subtly to each other. Roy Harper is one of those artists and I love diving into the world he creates.

I wonder how different our tastes are @soldier?
