My first album
-
Bought from Tony's Records in Redcar - 41 years ago! Back in the days when Record Tokens ruled!
-
TOO MUCH PRESSHA!
So good.
INXS, still like ‚Never tear us apart‘ a lot. Sad end for Michael Hutchence, though.
Yeah for real. That documentary on him is great — such a sad story. F'n hell what a good lookin' guy and absurdly talented performer! Truly one of those charismatic rock stars.

@neph93 fucking awesome! My one friend liked them and I can remember when I was nine listening to Iron Maiden the entire summer.

I believe the first CD I ever owned was a "clean" version of The Eminem Show, via my half brother (ca. 10 years old) :D. The first CD I ever bought was Demon Days by Gorillaz, via K Mart (ca. 12 years old). Other standout formative albums that come to mind:
Heroes, Bowie
Guero, Beck
Elephant, White Stripes
With Teeth, NIN
The Sky's Gone Out, Bauhaus
VU and Nico
Pink Flag, Wire -
Damn, some good ones there! I never get tired of those first three Wire records.

My sister bought this for me for Christmas. Still possibly my favorite present ever.

When I first got into music we just bought singles,as they were always released before the album,and quite often the single was the best or in some cases the only good song on the album. Having said that,I have to think that the first album I ever bought was Meet The Beatles.

Van Halen during the 1984 tour was my first concert. My friend's mom took us. My parents didn't know until it was too late, because they definitely wouldn't have allowed it.
After that it was shit like The Smothers Brothers in LA at a studio (I had know idea who the Hell they were), Stryper, Amy Grant, and such until I eventually got to see bands I liked again. When I got old enough to drive (driving age was 15 in Mississippi at the time), my horizons expanded a lot, since I could drive to places like Memphis and New Orleans (drinking age in LA was 18 at the time) to see bands like the Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, KMFDM, King Crimson, Melvins, or stick around in Jackson, MS when bands like REM (in a SHOEBOX of a venue), Fugazi, Kyuss, Type O Negative (ha), The Cult, Rush, Prince, and others came through. One of those bands I really loved but they lasted like 6 months–I'll post them over in Music because I think a lot of people here would love Stompbox.

Monkees was my first live show. If you don’t count Sesame Street Live.
My first concert was Sting, with Squeeze as the opening act. Solid show.

@Jett129 My dad had a lot of 45’s that I got to dig through and I vividly remember playing “Goovin” (Sueno b side) by the Young Rascals and “Do Wash Diddy Diddy” by Manfred Mann. I loved finding great songs in his old records.
@mclaincausey 1984 as a first concert is kind of incredible. I was 13 when that album came out and had the cassette (and a yellow waterproof Sony Walkman to play it). You got to see some incredible shows as a kid.
Squeeze “Black Coffee in Bed” has been a favorite song of mine since way back. Can’t imagine getting to see them at CBGB’s.
