I was very much an NME reader - and I thought they were very punk! Still that was the 70s - before there was much in the way of a heavy metal new wave. (Did I ever tell you I went to one of Motorhead's first gigs? No? They emptied the venue - they were a support act - until there were literally just a couple of us down the front... I am sure this goes some way to explain the ringing in my ears... oh no, it's the phone!)

Well I started reading da music press in the late seventies/early eighties, by which time NME were championing the indie cause - hanging was too good for them, as far as I could see...
