zappoI was never much for popular music when I was a kid, until I was 16 or something and started following the charts -- actually the same year I started listening to the BBC World Service, "H2G2" and "Brain of Britain". What a coincidence. Also, that was the year of "Return of the Jedi" and my first really big plunge into fandom. An eventful year for me, 1983.
Anyway, so I missed out on a lot of really good music, like this. Pink Floyd! It's like listening to the opening credits of 1960s "Doctor Who", with the blobs and stripes and wobbly bits. Wow.
I'm pretty sure I heard rock and pop in my childhood, at parties and at my parents' friends houses, but I don't think any of them were very much into that sort of thing. At least not that I ever noticed later, when I was older. Danceband music at parties, yes, but nothing really interesting in their record shelves. In my family it was all classical music, mostly Haydn and Mozart.
A lot to catch up on then, from the golden age of rock.
