OK added a couple for now:

Promises - the best rack EVER in rock and roll.

I remember my parents telling me turn off the TV (Ready to Roll) because 'that is disgusting'.

Edit: I've still got a turntable and it is used frequently - it's in the garage and is hooked up to a Pye amp and speakers.

We hunted through our old albums searching for songs our daughter could use for a medley the year 13 girls put on at their farewell celebrations being held in November.

Brought back alot of memories (fond and not so), that we now have to have a nostalgia night or should that be month, as we have so many records.

Damn C4! The "Flashbacks" programme was brilliant for a weekly dose of '80s music but, alas, is no more.
