I thought I'd start a music themed thread.

Do any Browncoats remember the first LP record, cassette or cd single (albums are also welcome) that they bought? Do they still like them today?

It would be great to see the diversity this creates.

The first vinyl single that I ever bought was "Rhythm is a dancer" by Snap!

(A 1992 dance track that caused controversy at the time with the lyrics: 'I'm serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer.')

The track featured a few verses of rap with the above lyrics and it had one of the moodiest intros and base lines to a song I'd ever heard.

I think it still holds up pretty well today...

Hi!

I'm old so bear with me: The LPs (albums/vinyl/whatever you want to call them) of Nazareth "Hair of the Dog" and Queen "Night at the Opera" were my firsts. And yeah, I still listen to them. When I'm in my car (on cd obviously). Alone. Then I hide them under my Metallica and Linkin Park discs.

The first cassette I purchased was a compilation of Glenn Miller Orchestra songs (way before my time - digressive story on how I got into them). The first LP that I purchased was the Stray Cats, "Built for Speed" (which was new at the time). I still like both groups but haven't listened to either of those albums in years. I had a decent vinyl collection of 50s and 60s motown/rock before I bought my first CD player, but I donated all those albums to my brother to supplement his 70s and 80s disco/funk/old school vinyl collection that he uses when he DJs.

OK, I'm old, too. My first cassette tape was Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and my first vinyl LP (I never bought singles) was The Beatles' "Yesterday... and Today". Unfortunately, I wasn't one of the lucky few who got the original collector's item cover.

I sort of outgrew Black Sabbath, but I still love the Beatles' album. It's kind of surprising though, when I'm watching college football, I notice many marching bands still play "Iron Man" from the "Paranoid" album.

Iron Man is one of my favorite songs, but only because my older brothers used it to scar me for life (long story). I can't even remember the first LP I bought, but it might have been KISS Rock n' Roll All Over. I think that was the title. Obviously, I don't still own it, nor do I still like KISS, except when I'm drunk and with my friend, who still bangs to heavy metal.

As an aside, for those who like Iron Man, do a search for Iron Man on iTunes sometime. It's shocking how many bands have covered that tune, and the variations. There's a loung version, an all-piano version, a mellow version by the Cardigans (think), a girlie-pop version by someone who sounds like all the girlie-pop singers on the radio these days, &c. Crazy.

The first album I got, I went in together with my brother and we bought "Meet the Beatles" (back in the early to mid 60's). I think my brother may still have it if his kids resisted the urge to use it as a frisbee when they were growing up.

Prior to that, I had bought some 45's of the Beatles and the Dave Clark 5... but I don't remember which songs.

The first album I bought entirely on my own nickel was called something like "The Romantic Strings of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra," conducted by Eugene Ormandy (mid to late 60's). I was always a sucker for Borodin's "Nocturne" and Barber's "Adagio for Strings."

First single (I was really young then, honest, still at primary school) "Flowers in the Rain", was it the Move? The guy who went on to form Wizzard anyway.
First album "Deep Purple in Rock" about 1972 I think. Have you seen how large Ian Gillan is these days? Him and me both I guess.

My first ever CD that I bought was the debut album by Third Eye Blind. I was in love with modern alternative rock... I was also in love with the lead singer, Stephen Jenkins!

I eventually sold the CD to a pawn shop (along with alot of my other modern alternative CDs), and got into 80's pop, heavy metal, electronica, dance, and house, Celtic, world and new age (like Enya), orchestral, Gregorian chant, and film soundtracks. I still listen to modern rock but most of it nowadays is not that good. I listen to hip-hop and R&B quite a bit since it is all the rage on the Top 40 stations, but likewise, most of it ain't that good.

I loved that album, too! It wasn't the first one I ever bought, but it was the first one I ever wore out by playing it too much. I used to play guitar and I worshipped Ritchie Blackmore. I still get shivers up my spine from listening to "Child in Time".

First album I ever bought was "Night Moves" by Bob Seger; I was 12 when it came out. "Come to Poppa" is still one of my all-time favorite songs. I have no idea what my first cassette was, but since it was in the early-to-mid-80's, I'm certain it was either REM or Oingo Boingo...

First CD was "In Step" by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - an amazing grace note to the too-short life of a true guitar god.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

First ever album or CD? Well, it was long before CD technology existed. I still have the album, which is KISS Alive II from 1977. Got it around Christmas of '77. I was all of 8 yrs old and thought KISS was the coolest band ever.

Hmm.

The first 45 I ever bought (I was 12, I think) was You by Rita Coolidge. I still have it, though I haven't listened to it in years. Still like the song though. Might have to see if that one is out there on CD or music download somewhere...

I can't recall the first album or tape I ever bought - which is weird - because I usually remember such odd stuff.

The first CD I bought was Alan Parsons Project greatest hits (forget the actual name of the CD) so I could hear Lucifer really clear (as opposed to hissy or scratched up from tape or record)

"Rock and Roll Over" by Kiss was the first lp that I picked out myself. I think I had purchased with my allowance 45s of the songs "Convoy" and "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" before that.

Prior to these were records my parents picked out for me ("Free to Be You and Me", "Puff the Magic Dragon", etc.)

I don't have any Kiss records anymore. That is an easy band to grow out of, thank god. After Kiss I went through a prolonged Beatles phase. I still have all of those lps.

All of the above took place before I was 13 years old.

Thanks for all your input guys. This has been fun so far!

It doesn't matter about being embarrassed. There are always albums and singles that we first buy (or are already part of our collection) that we wish we hadn't bought. There are a few I can think of..

What matters is that we bothered to take an interest in music in the first place. It doesn't matter if it's a cheesy pop act or soundtrack from a movie or tv show. It's a strong influence in our day to day lives and things would probably be totally different for us if we never listened to anything at all.

Oh, wow. What a fun thread.

The first CD I remember getting was "My Reflection" by Christina Aguliera. Still got it. I can't take most of the songs anymore, though. I STILL jam to "Reflection", though. That's a pretty song. Made me want to be a singer. Sadly, nature said otherwise.

First cassette was "Crazy Sexy Cool" by TLC. I was too poor and too young to get that CD.

I'm standing up proud behind my collection. I bought the CD for Aladdin last year and the clerk questioned me about who it was for. I proudly replied me.

I love my Disney movies.

I bought "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits. Then I bought it again on cassette. Then I bought it again on cd. That cd got messed up and I bought it again. Currently it is old and scratched, and I'll probably buy it again.

I also have all of Mark Knopflers solo stuff, as well as Dire Straits. I love it!

From my screen name, you can probably tell I'm a big Eric Clapton fan. I've been playing guitar for around 12 years now, and I'm in two bands.

My first album purchased was "Pyromania" by Def Leppard. My first CD was "Operation:Mindcrime" by Queensryche, followed shortly thereafter by the purchase of "Empire" by Queensryche.

EMPIRE
Music and Lyrics by Michael Wilton and Geoff Tate

Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown.
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what's wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose

They're building EMPIRE!

Johnny used to work after school
at the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
he's got a long way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day
selling Crack to the people who pay.
Got an AK-47 for his best friend
business the American way.

Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, the walls fall down

Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE! Can't you hear it calling?
Black man, trapped again. hold his chain in his hand.
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
Game point, nobody wins. Decline, right on time.
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down, we'll put it up again. Another EMPIRE?

Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.

Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming EMPIRE!
Can't someone here stop it...??!!

{{{SOB!}}} oh, man, you guys are making me cry...this thread is making me feel SO old, especially after passing yet another birthday this week...

Ok, I really don't remember exactly what single I bought first, as my mother and aunts usually bought them for me, but I did have "Snoopy & the Red Baron" and "Convoy" in my collection too (as well as "Baby Elephant Walk" and "Telstar - The Lonely Bull")...I think the first album I bought for myself was Paul McCartney's "Ram" (because it had "Uncle Albert" on it). I think I was in Junior High then, somewhere about 1974ish...wow, where did the time go...

OH! Here's a trivia question for you all...The band that recorded "Convoy" (and some other really nice songs, believe it or not!) was called "C.W. McCall"....some of the members of that band have continued through to today as a new band that has been performing under their current name since the late 70's, but they're known for an entirely different type of music now....anyone want to guess what "C.W. McCall" evolved to???

DING DING DING DING!!!!! Thaaaaaaat's Right!!!
I remember how floored I was when I went to a MS Christmas concert and Chip Davis told that story....It was a definite OMG moment, until I thought back to some of the other songs on the Convoy album, and how "orchestral" they were, then it kind of made sense.

Yeah, I admit it, I have a weak spot for MS, especially some of their earlier themed stuff ("Songs of the Sea" is still my fav) and the first couple of Christmas albums. After that it all started to sound alike.

Yeah, I was a touch concerned my ownself about lurking through this site, until I came upon a couple of "how old are you" threads. Quite a range.

Which gives me the confidence to allow that the very first album I ever bought was Hocus Pocus, by Focus. Got sucked in by the yodelling, I guess.

Firefly was the first (and only) television series dvd set. A lot going on in that show, I can see why Fox got scared.
