Spice Girls- Spice Up Your Life (the single)

[pomba gira]

My first "real music" record was almost certainly something by the Jackson 5. AFA kiddie records, my brother & I had a Dr. Seuss album with readings of "Fox in Sox" and "Green Eggs & Ham" that we listened to incessantly.

The first CD I owned was Metallica And Justice For All.

My Uncle Eric used to work at Shores Stakeland, and for a part time gig, he used to spin at parties.

So he gave me my first album.

Catching up with Depeche Mode.

I got it only because I would have him play it ALL THE TIME when I would see him. So he gave me his copy.

[Goth Brooks]

oh snap i take that back.. i just remembered my mom giving me a pile of records when i was 11ish.

Aerosmith, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, and Bill Cosby I believe.

I loooooooved Bill Cosby.

[Bernadette]

I think mine was a Michael Jackson one.

[Destroit]

I can't remember if it was Mariah Carey or Michael Jackson...

MJ it was the single for "You Are Not Alone" and for Mariah it was that one that came out around the same time in 1994 that had all of her "big" songs on it, like Daydream and Fantasy...

Wow...I can't believe that not only did I just share that with you guys but I actually remember the years and the names of the songs

I will now hide behind my couch in shame

[Fin]

This was also one of my first (can't remember exact order):

[tanuki1985]

The first one someone bought or me was "The Little Mermaid" soundtrack.

The first one I ever bought with my own money was............................................ Celine Dion's "Let's Talk About Love." Yes, that's the one with the Titanic song on it.

*crawls into a hole in shame and dies*

I found an entire forgotten old box of Sun and RCA records up in my Mamaw's attic, that had belonged to a great uncle who died many years before. I used to lock myself in the pumphouse for hours, and listen to them over and over on a Victrola I also found in the attic.

I remember "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", with the B side being "I've Been Lookin' For You" by Jerry Lee Lewis, being one of my very favorites from that stash; as well as Waylon Jennings' "Green River" album. There were also a LOT of Elvis 45's in there, Buck Owens and Buddy Holly ones too, as well as some Sleepy LaBeef.

Must be where I got my passion for Rockabilly music from..

When I left for Vegas years ago, my maternal grandmother cleaned out her basement, and sold all my beloved (and quite VALUABLE, come to find out) records and Barbies and GI Joes in a f*cking yard sale. I could have just died!

As for the first album I ever purchased with my own money, it was the "Rock And Roll High School" movie soundtrack.

[Nightgaunt]

My mother gave me a stack of old 45s - The Doors, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the MC5, etc. and an LP of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits when I was around 5 years old. The first record I bought with my own money was Thriller by Michael Jackson.

Yes, I'm an old geezer.

[JaneDead]

my first kid records were:

some sesame street one, a christmas one and disco duck. i still have them.

my first real records were:

michael jackson, prince and madonna. which, i also, still have.

my parents had some records that are mine now; some of my favorites back then were:

the cars, the police, the rolling stones, the beatles, frank zappa, lynyrd skynyrd, bing crosby (x-mas music), pat benetar, roxy music, queen, pink floyd, david bowie.... i should stop now, these have nothing to do with "first album"

you're not old, you're my age i just looked

thriller was really my very first album too (that was not a kids album. because really my first album was that sesame street one)

[tanuki1985]

The first albums that I ever owned (but didn't buy myself) were The Little Mermaid soundtrack and every album ever released by the Monkees. I also owned a lot of things by the Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, and tons of other oldies. I was raised on oldies, but hey, I don't see anything wrong with that. :D
