    This is a difficult one, as in my last year at school (1983) I was into ELO in a big way and not much into the (then) current music scene.
    ELO's album of that time was Secret Messages - which I do like, but was more into Out of the Blue and Discovery from the mid-late 1970s
    My sister was into Genesis and I think Genesis(Genesis) was about that time (the album with Mama on it) - which I like
    Foreigner Agent Provocateur was around that time - but I preferred Foreigner 4.......

    Going to join in if you don't mind. Counting my last years at "school" as my final years at Stafford CAT - would have been mid 70's.

    I wasn't really a hard rocker nor a punk rocker, pretty middle of the road I suppose, so here goes: -

    Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton
    The Cars - The Cars
    Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
    Hotel California - The Eagles
    The Stranger - Billy Joel

    I'm having a third go, I've dragged out all my old stuff from under the proverbial stairs, I won't mention Eddie Cochran, Elvis , Bobby Vee, The Hollies, The Merseybeats but what a fab time I'm having recollectimg and firing up old memories.

    Here are 5 more favourites from my early days ~

    Bridge Over Troubled Waters - Simon and Garfunkel
    Mr Tambourine Man ~ The Byrds
    Sergeant Peppers Lonely Heartclub Band - The Beatles
    The Sound of Bread - David Gates & Bread
    Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player - Elton John

    I won't bore anymore just really enjoying myself listening again and doing a cleaning job on them all.

    Totally agree, my tastes are extremely eclectic but mainly of that period, I can even look back on prog rock with fondnest, punk rock sort have passed me by, I did like the Clash, Stranglers and Buzzcocks and singles by the Sex pistols and Sham 69.
