From the Archive - DiScover: MySpace Trail #3
My first proper album was OK computer
My mum bought it for my birthday. Thanks mum.
pretty sure it was linkin park - hybrid theory
Def Leppard - 'On Through The Night'
Fuck off, I was 8!
Oasis - Whats the Story (Morning Glory)
My brother bought George Michael - Older. I felt I won that little competition...
Bill Wyman - Je suis un rockstar 7"
classic!
...
The first album I owned was the B*witchd album, but the first one I bought was Dookie by Green Day, one of the best albums EVER.
Can I start next week's thread?
BTW
it was Origin Of Symmetry.
I was 11 years old! Good times...
I used to bring it into our youth club, and freak everyone out, apart from two others. We just stood by the CD player silently rocking out, making sure no one put Now 48 on.
:D
NO !
"What was the first record you ever bought?" threads are only allowed to recent board users who haven't already reply to 145 704 same threads.
The Smiths - 'the queen is dead' for me
Duran Duran - Arena
it was also the second because the tape deck in my dads car chewed it!
The first single I bought was stutter Rap bu Moris Minor and the Majors
it was probably
Billy Idol's greatest hits and U2s Rattle and Hum bought on the same day with holiday job money. On cassette!
hmmm.
pat benatar - heartbreaker.
yes i do still have it. its ace!
blur - the great escape
(on tape) oh yes!
score!
Parklife on cassette here! I still only have it on cassette!
Gorillaz - self titled
still love it!
Limp Bizkit
Chocolate Starfish!
get in.
hahaha
likewise.
Bleach, Smash and Blood Sugar Sex Magic
as part of a 3 for whatever at HMV
Dangerous
by Michael Jackson
Meat Loaf's
Bat Out of Hell on cassette. Good lord.
That said, there are actually some tunes on that album....
Id love to say Definately Maybe, or A Northern Soul
But if I did i'd be lying...
To my recollection the first record i ever bought was trouble by shampoo - Classic :P
shampoo
were much better.
Be proud !
I thought I answerd this last week?
Drag City by Jan & Dean
Flash by Queen
in 1980!
P.s Sorry if I've started a thread that has been done a million times before (actually I'm not, as it makes a change from the moronic "What are you listening to right now?" threads that get thousands of replies, so Ner!)
Actually, it was a rupert record
http://notebooksscrawlandglory.blogspot.com/
Phil Collins ....but seriously
no seriously !!!
Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory
I saved my 8th birthday money for a few weeks until it came out. My friends thought I was very strange.
around '93 or '94
smashing pumpkins siamese dream
.... still one of my favourite albums as well, bought mazzy star so tonight that I might see at the same time based on fade into you
My bad album time was 98-99 listening to korn and other nu-metal sh*te
I bought this strange
dance remix of the Tetris music by this guy..God, that was a while ago. Can't even remember who it was..I hate dance music as well!
I think I bought that too
on cassette. maybe from Woolworths. I've also no idea who it was by.
It was 1996,
I was nine, and I recieved my mums copy of Travelling without Moving by Jamiroquai because I liked it and she didn't. Its still one of my favourite albums, no matter what people say
if you start with this question
and then follow it by asking if you could give any advice to any up coming musicians of today, then you automatically are as qualified as Jools Holland to run the Later show...
Still proud of mine
Blur - Parklife
the sound track to bill and teds bogus journey
Sinead O' Connor
I Do Not Want What I Havent Got
I was about ten yrs old :)
The Beatles Abbey Road
yes i still have it it had been realesd almost 40 years ealyer
I think it might've been Black Box -
Ride On Time. I can't exactly remember. I don't still own it. And it was a bloody great tune. Drove my parents insane with it on repeat though.
1989 -
aged 14.
Something shit, no doubt.
Possibly Travis - The Man Who. I would've been...ten. Or maybe (What's the Story) Morning Glory?...
Daft Punk
homework. On tape.
the first CD i ever bought was Craig David born to do it.
I am not ashamed at all.
First single
was Irene Cara 'Fame'
First album was Smiths 'Hatful of Hollow' which im really proud of.
First cd was Queen 'The Miracle' . Sorry
"Reet Petite"
by Jackie Wilson when it was re-released in the late 80's... I was so young way back when
First record
Have got to admit am not that proud. It was Adam Faith - What do you Want if you Aint got Money? But I am 52. However more into SexPistols Marilyn Manson. Quite an eclectic taste. Like blues Rory Gallagher Nimmo Brothers and various others
First record
Got to admit it was Adam Faith "What do you want if you dont want money" but i AM 52. More into Marilyn Manson and Sex Pistols these days. Also like blues Rory Gallagher, John Mayall etc.
