Been a terrible year for losing some very influential figures...

The video below is what really started me getting into electronic music and widening my musical tastes from the Queen, Genesis, Dr Hook and Barry Manilow my parents inflicted on me. Since then my taste has broadened even further, and whilst I love most kinds of music from The Beatles to Bach, Pink Floyd to Pet Shop Boys, Neil Young to Nelly Furtado (err, maybe not that last one), it's electronic music that really got me going.

The extract is from a Tomorrow's World special from 1984. As well as the sequence below, it had Midge Ure demonstrating a midi guitar, and cutting edge sonic research from France. But the bit below really got me hooked on this new type of music and the studio process in general, and has fed my love of music for the past 25 years.

So what floated your boat? What got you so passionate about music that you spend time nattering about it on a site like this?
