i stopped buying music to a great extent between the years 1987 and 1994-ish...
with the rise of the Stock/Aitken/Waterman stable of artists back in 1987(Kylie minogue,Rick Astley,Bananarama/Cliff richard etc etc), and those dumbass big hair guys from the States(Poison,Bon Jovi,Aerosmith, Van Halen etc etc) eveything sounded the same to me on the radio and MTV...
even the artists i loved at the time (McCartney,Style Council,Tim Finn) seemed to be releasing uninspired music...it just seemed like music was declining in originality and individuality...
wasnt really until around 1994 when Paul Weller released "wildwood", Britpop, Alanis Morrissette "jagged little pill" that my ears pricked up again and i started purchasing albums again....
that might explain why i missed the whole Grunge/REM thing at the time....and am just getting into it all now.
went off music again around 1999, luckily Limp Bizkit"hot dog flavoured water", Linkin Park and Eminem sparked me into action again in 2000...
and the rest is history!
