What was the first album you bought?

[wafflecone111]

soundgarden - superunknown

I was pretty content with my local oldies station growing up though

 

[kulpable]

The Go-Gos - Beauty and the Beat.

I got the cassette tape and wore it out. I loved that album........


(still do ).

 

[TxRad]

Uh, Sandy Nelson's "Let there be drums".



What years was that? Mid century last, me thinks.

Edited to add: 1961

Let there be Drums

First one...hmm.. Bad Company... We had to do some something with the song 'Shooting Star' in English class.. I liked it, and we went and found the CD.

A close second was AC/DC. I heard 'Shoot to Thrill' on the radio and thought it was a new band. My mom had a blast making fun of me for that, lol.

First CD that sort of actually shows my age? The album 'Load' ~ Metallica.
'Bleeding Me' is still my favorite song ever.

One of the local bars used to have a bunch of Glen Miller on the jukebox. More than one younger lady has asked who the great new dance band was.

Those "younger" ladies are pretty good dancers if you put a little dab of grease on the bottom of their walkers, Tex.

See? No fair, lol.

Limp Bizkit did a remake of 'Behind Blue Eyes'... my mom isn't much into rock business, so when she started singing it I about shit.
She messed with me for a couple days, then finally told me that it was a remake. Nothing like lookin' like an idiot!

No Ben, even though this is a retirement area, we do get some younger women around ever so often.

The walker crowd can usually make the younger ones mouths drop open when a "swing" song comes on.

I did the same thing with the same song with my daughter. Talk about your double takes.

Around here, the 'walker crowd' ride motorcycles and/or drive old Vettes.

I think the first CD I ever bought with my "hard earned money" was a Stone Temple Pilots CD I bought last year.

But the first CD I bought with money that didn't come from anyone I knew (cause I found it on the side of the road) was Mya. It was during the stage where I liked rap and music with those beats. I think I was 12.

I have very few CDs and all but 3 were given to me. I usually listen to the radio in the car, but lately the music on the radio sucks so I've been playing my Within Temptation CDs and my Evanescence CD. Woo for Gothic Rock! lol.

The same here for the most part.

Although you see more 60's muscle cars than vettes around this area.

 

[SamScribble]

[avioletmuse]

Follow the Leader by Korn back in 1998. I was so hardcore lol.

[Handley_Page]

First Single "Pipeline", by the Chantays.

First LP. Flanders & Swann. "At the drop of a hat"

You lot make me feel really OLD on account of me having to think that far back.

 

[jomar]

I honestly don't remember. But I do recall having the Beatles, CCR, Who, Stones, Steppenwolf, and Led Zeppelin in the mix.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

THE FIRST FAMILY by Vaughn Meader, 1962.

 

[autoplot]

Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet on cassette. I'm not proud of it.

 

[LucyH]

Tape.
Milli Vanilli's Girl You Know It's True.

Hah! Me too. Though I figure the music was made by somebody, even if it's not the guys on the album cover. To tell the truth, I still like a couple of those songs.

No way, that was mine too! I got that the same day I got Vanilla Ice- Ice Ice Baby

Does it make you feel better to know I still have that, also on cassette?

It will make you all happier to know my wife has seen Bon Jovi over two dozen times

The last ten of which I have taken her.

Works the other way around, too. I enjoyed stringing my mom along with the Johnny Cash version of Hurt.

I'll admit to knowing the words to about a dozen songs. And to playing air guitar in my wedding dress to one.

Try Brooks & Dunns, "Good Girls Go to Heaven" A remake of the same song by Meatloaf.

Did anyone get any photos or better yet a movie of that Air guitar solo?
