My first 45 was Cliff Richard & The Young Ones - Living Doll (my parents bought it, does that count?)

I think the first cd I actually bought was Sid Vicious - Sid Sings. Or it might've been Use Your illusion 2.

Eh, I had older siblings so I didn't really need to buy albums when I was young.

Of course, that means I was subject to their tastes, and the albums I remember they had were: Def Leppard - Pyromania, Styx - Mr. Roboto, Rolling Stones - Tattoo You, Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind, KISS - Double Live, Ratt Out of the Cellar.


The first time I spent my own money on music I bought two cassettes, one I didn't care for very much and never really listened to after the initial interest:

and one that is still an all time favorite:

I never really got into 45's until I got into LA punk at the beginning of the 80's. But I do know (and still have) my first single which was Quiet Riot's "Slick Black Cadillac" that was given out for free when I saw them at The Roxy around late '78 before they were signed and still had Randy Rhoads in the band. Through the 80's, the only reason I'd buy a single 45 was if it featured a non-album B-side or a new song from a soon-to-be released album (mostly U2 and Springsteen) or if it was being given away free at a show or record store which meant mostly local punk band stuff like from Black Flag, Fear, X, etc.

i still have this first album i bought in 1974. my parents were unto jazz and i had a neighbor (while teaching me drums) turned me onto this. this album was before the pop fool for the city and had a more blues boogie rock with the slide guitar sound going on. i still dig playing this from time to time

i got these two, around 91

that second one is a local band, it had a similar effect here than janes had abroad, paving the way for successful 90's bands, being themselves a blend of post punk, hard rock, psychedelia, funk (and reggae) with a deep love for velvet underground:


i fucking love 'em :rockon:

I got that one as a present, I only remember one song (she drives me crazy). I always thought the singer had an interesting voice and look. But yeah, I can live without that album
