I bought 'Hits 4' on cassette with my 7th birthday money - I still have it and listen to it quite often - it still plays perfectly well and the sound is great. It's full not only of classics like The Sun Always Shines On TV, Borderline, Chain Reaction and How Will I Know, but great overlooked tracks like Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love, ELO's Calling America and PIL's Rise. One of the most consistently good of those 80s Now/Hits series IMO

I still listen to all the old songs from my childhood. Summer pop of 1992-94 was the best.

I listen to loads past and even more recent past.
I feel when they come around it is good to listen to old songs again. But not all the time. It is really good to hear a track I have not listened to in months.

My sisters brother-in-law is a producer who having his own recording studios often works with present famour music acts and new up and coming ones whilst on tour. So I get to know about some new bands before the hit the big time.

Music has always been my first love it is the best way for remembering events, occasions and even people.

Just as you remember the times with your dad playing Pet in the car.

Rod Stewart's Maggie May still brings me out in goose pimples 40 years on. To go back even further, Daydream Believer and California Dreaming still sound great.

Heard this: Eddie Calvert: Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White while in my pushchair on a warm summer day.

Despite now having other modes of transport at my disposal it's a great memory to rekindle by playing it.

Wizzard's (wall of) sound transfixed me as a youngster and still gives me goosebumps today.

Beatles, Madness, The Cult, The Cure, Marillion, Genesis, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Celtic Frost, ELO, REM, Sadus, Cannibal Corpse, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, The Specials, Beach Boys, Elvis and a lot of soul and motown stuff.

Music that shaped by younger years that I still listen to now. All still sounds good.

There isn't much modern stuff I like really, my Ipod is full of 60's, 70's and 80's music.

I'm very old
When I was very young, there were other kids in the street and I sometimes went into their houses. This was always on in one of them, the parents loved it
The Stargazers - I See The Moon (1954)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g8b1WuNifQ

I also remember hearing a lot of World War era 2 material, not surprising as my father was in it.

My grandparents had quite a few records and this was one of their favourites.
"'Leven Thirty Saturday Night" Harry Hudson's Radio Rhythm Boys (1930)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezkzCJ4pgvc
It sounded better at their house as they had an "electric gramophone"

It put me off much of that era's music for a long time, I now find I can listen to it - in small doses.

Here's another 1930 "Edison Bell" record - properly restored

I still listen to Making Your Mind Up by Bucks Fizz. I was allowed to stay up late to see them win eurovision.

I also bought alot of the early 80's music that was out when i was under 10 later in life. The Human League totally love thier Dare album, Kim Wilde, Soft Cell, Ultravox, Culture Club. How i would of loved to of been in my late teens in the early 80's. Music/Culture was so much better then than in the early 90's when i was in my late teens.
