Slade Goodbye to Jane or could have been Merry Christmas,
i certainly remember sending my parents insane playing it non stop.

I went to see Slade in my mid 20s for the first time and i was knocked out by how good they were live especially Noddy Holder and there was the largest cross section of ages i think i have ever seen at a rock concert.

First album was Green by REM.

Dunno what the single was - probably just as well given some of the ones on my shelf!
