Watsy's Music

My music tastes are wide and varied from dance to rock to indie to punk to 80's electro music.

For my latest purchases and reviews please view the web log. I mostly just buy CD albums these days. My most prolific purchasing days was at College when I had more money than I knew what to do with and was armed with a copy of record collector and spare time to trawl through the second hand record shops of Camden and Notting Hill (also a particularly good one behind BHS in Slough but that closed down years ago!).

I've listed some of my favourite artists of over the years on the left and will be adding to the records I have purchased.

By far and away my most obsessive was with Billy Idol and Generation X - from some reason I own White Wedding over 30 times on various 12"'s and CD's etc. Nowadays, my only really collectable artist is The Human League.

Quite remarkably, there is something that connects most of the bands I appreciate, ie Billy Idol, Human League, Altered Images and others and that is Martin Rushent - the producer of Dare and many other top quality albums of that time.

I haven't covered the 7"'s or CD Singles I own as they are buried well away in the loft - maybe one day I'll photo them for the site....
