Just a thought that spun off from the 'Duran Duran' topic, because I was very specifically captivated by a few early 80's tracks...
As I said in that post, if it hadn't been for Planet Earth (and possibly a couple of Human League tracks like The Sound of the Crowd and Open Your Heart) I probably wouldn't have gotten into music anything like as young as I did, if at all.
But those few early tracks (oh, and while I think about it, also Visage's Fade to Grey and Ultravox's Vienna

) were pretty much the start of a pretty hardcore obsession (which has on occasions threatened some of my normal, human relationships!), which even survived my very early misadventures in attempting to recreate the sound of the Human League on a Bontempi reed organ (didn't work - nobody should ever try it

).
So what got some of you others out there into this game?
