What was the best music you ever made?
When I was around 14, my best mate and I started an AC/DC covers band. He played guitar, I sang and played the snare drum (too poor to afford a full kit).
It was probably the weirdest music I've ever made, and the best. Squalling guitars, spoken vocals (I can't really sing), Mo Tucker style drumming, riffz, things that were very much not AC/DC, long solos (he'd just got into Hendrix). We'd've been DiS favourites.
Last time I saw him, his girlfriend had got him listening to Jessie J.
So, what were you proudest of in your glittering musical career?

oh, my turn
probably this. The track clocks in at 18 mins 31 secs and took ages to write/piece together. Recording it was staggeringly frustrating but I'm well chuffed with it.

Especially the first track. It's short and simple, but I really love it.
When I was 16 I played bass in a band called The Riffage (name owing to the 3 guitarists). We were really unproductive, and there were a lot of egos involved.

Staying at my brother's place one night
He was out, I was stoned. I fired up his Tascam 4-track and created a cover of The Velvets' I Can't Stand It, using nylon string acoustic guitar, drum machine, Roland SH101 synth, spoons (metal and wodden), thumb piano and a bunch of pedals. I had no idea what the fuck I was doing, and the result was pure unalloyed lo-fi demented genius. Years later as a "serious" musician I still wish I could come up with something half as good as that.
