First album you ever bought

Originally posted by Push My first buy was an Elvis Presley tape - Rock is back, must've been approx 1978. No accounting for taste when you're 10, but I bought it for the song "Baby I don't care" and especially that bit where he goes all mumbly and Elvis cool and keeps going "Baby, I don't care, care, care, care, I don't care..." and then the drums crash in and I'm in front of the mirror going off, skinny as a rake with a big boof afro, but in my head I'm a dead cert for the King.

Don't feel too bad about that. I thought "Pump up the volume" by Marrs was good music when I was younger.

My father bought me Greatest Hits of the Bangles when I was 3.....the cd I actually bought was Savage Garden's self-titled debut when I was 15. The first New Order cd I bought was Get Ready.

That was my first LP, by the way. Before that, I only had a tape recorder/player... So the REAL first piece of music I bought was The Police's "Zenyatta Mondatta" in 1980. I was 13 then and already had a fixation on a Mr. Sumner, albeit the wrong one

Electric Light Orchestra's TIME, since it was the only record I had back then (I must have been 9 years old at the time) I listened to it all the time. I can still sing along some of the songs

Hold on tight to your dreams....

Utter crap, brrrrr

Thank F... Blue Monday saved my live!

I'm not sure i remember which album i first bought, i think it was "Greatest Hits" by Abba (i split the cost of the album with my sister) or "Dynasty" by Kiss much to my mum's horrer (she confiscated it off me).

Bought Movement on the strength of Blue Monday in 1983 and never looked back.

Out Of The Blue, complete with cardboard space ship model.

Mr Blue Sky please tell us why...

I did wonder who that was in Shug's avator. He does look younger than my 15 year old. So whats the secret of eternal adolescence then?

I dunno? Alcohol? Extra estrogen? New Order? I'm 19 years old, and by that pic taken in February in my NOOL profile, according to several people, I barely look like I'm 15.. Hmm.. so if Barney didn't age that much - he can't even grow a mustache - can we call this symptom of not aging bernard sumner syndrome?

Oh wow!!! I forgot about them...I loved Echo and the Bunnymen

me too!

The first album I ever bought was Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

The very first album I bought was one of my brother's Led Zeppelin albums which I 'accidentally' wrecked and I can still feel the bruises on my arm as my mother dragged me to shop to get him a new one. I must have been about 10. The irony of it being that once he left the house, I spent a forture on the entire Led Zeppelin collection (and later Robert Plant solo)... and I still love it.

The first voluntary purchase was, dare I say it, Peter Frampton's I'm in You in '77 :o. Luckily the Cure and Joy Division followed shortly after that.

First album bought was Prince Charming by Adam & The Ants. I was 12. (That's just pointing out a fact; not making an excuse, although if it's an acceptable excuse, then that's fine with me!)

First NO album was Substance.

Drinking far too much alcohol and smoking like a chimney...... it's not done me any harm:D

I bought that when I was 13, when I still thought RHCP was cool, after hearing only one hot minute. I know a lot of people liked this album, but it majorly dissapointed me, with the exception of about 2 songs.

I do not remember what the first tape or album I bought was...but I do remember that the first CD I purchased (before I even had a CD player) Was the Pleasure Victum album by Berlin. I was in love with the dual colored hair of Terri Nunn and like my efforts to meet the NO crew...I was successful in meeting the band. I pretended to be a reporter for our school news paper and went to the interview that was the day before the concert...it was cool to meet and have John Crawford sign the two tapes I had (so I had purchased music before...nothing sticks out like that first CD though), but the princess of my heart, Terri was not there...she was ill. She had a history of being ill and did not sound all that great during the concert. I still liked her though. Berlin has a web at :

The first album I ever purchased was Blondie's Parallel Lines back in the late seventies. I had an unhealthy obsession with Debbie Harry at the time.

First album I ever bought was 'The Clash' - and it still gets the odd play even now...(well the latterly purchased cd of it does!)

Substance... and what a choice. i'm sure the majority of this website will agree...

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen, cause the local store didn't have any New York Dolls or Roxy Music back then.

nothing wrong with that back in the day...now if you still had an obsession with her...I'd be worried!!!

I still have an obsesseion w/ debbie harry; every time I see an old clip or her singing Heart of glass, my heart melts

First NO album I ever received, Christmas of '99 Too bad I didn't become an H-Core fan until Get Ready-era, sooo many wasted nights. :( Not enough nights being wasted though ;)

my first album was 'the joshua tree' when i was six or seven...

and on the blondie discussion: DH is hot but Toni (from curve) was hotter. i was in this club i was playing in, and they were projecting videos on the wall above the stage. they had this one curve video and, in a couple shots, toni looked like DH with jet-black hair. ((melt))
