What are you listening to right now? (The Music Thread)
My Primary School years occurred in the late 80's. So while Frankie Goes To Hollywood might have been on the playlist at school discos/parties (I can't remember), the rest were certainly not. I remember Bros, New Kids on the Block and Brother Beyond being popular at the time and my class had a number of passionate Brosettes. I also remember Stock, Aitken and Waterman produced artists such as Rick Astley, The Reynold Girls, Kyle Minogue, Bananarama and Sonia being played at school events as well as the local youth club in Blaydon.
I don't remember attending too many school organised events when I went to Comprehensive school. However, every Friday night, there was the youth club at Winlaton Centre which was notorious for underage drinking, smoking and the consumption of drugs. The Centre, as it was colloquially known, actually had Decks and a range of budding DJ's - usually older kids between the ages of 15-18. The music played at The Centre was predominately Rave. Not just chart stuff like Altern8, Shades of Rhythm and Bizzare Inc, but also the more hardcore stuff like Neuromancer, Ezeee Posse, 2 Bad Mice and Manix. Looking back - it was quite strange!

I have a quite a weird taste in music...
I like all kinds, I like Take That and Robbie Williams, used to get the piss taken out of me for that, liking take that saw me labelled as a poofter in the all boys school I went to lmao...
I also like Coldplay, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, I also like some of the Beatles, Elvis, Phil Collins and Queen...
But I surprised myself about 10 years ago, in the midst of a nervous breakdown my doctor told me to listen to classical music, so I came home and downloaded the soundtrack from Titanic and listened to it, I also like Katherine Jenkins, she is one fit woman and a lovely singer, so when i feel down I stick a bit classical or opera on and it means I can wind down...
The playlist on my phone has a wide range on it, Clubland, Bonkers, Classical, Power Ballads, 60's, 70's, 80's all together in one playlist...
More recently I have been enjoying the songs we sing at Church on Sundays
Really like this band.

I know it's not exactly the first song that comes to mind, but I like The Flying Dutchman Theme from Pirates of The Caribbean.
My pick from the 70s, 80s and 90s would be;
Heart - Alone
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give you Up
Saw this video on Kerrang! yesterday morning and its still stuck in my head.
