Paid Members PunkStep Posted September 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) I honestly can't remember the last album I bought, might've been the last Prodigy one, because being a massive mark of theirs I wanted it in physical format to sit alongside their other albums. Â So, have we done the obligatory 'what your first album' question on this forum yet? I'm quite lucky, mine were decent for an 11-year old and not embarrassing. Bought for me: Nirvana- In Utero. Bought myself: TLC- Crazysexycool. Both were Christmas '94, when I got my first CD player. Edited September 16, 2012 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I think it was Bon Jovi's Crossroads. First single was Scatman's World I think, but that might have just been my first CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoistVaj Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 First single was Coolio- Gangsta's Paradise and my first album was The Fugees - The Score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Single: Chubawumba - Tubthumping Album: Stereophonics - Performance and Cocktails  Could be a worse album to get. I despise that single now though. Which obviously means I can't find the album while the single is still intact. Fuck sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 16, 2012 Bought for me? Hot Chocolate's Greatest Hits on tape when I was about 7. For myself, it was Automatic for the People when I was 12 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Milano Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Bought for me, one Christmas my folks got me a music system and also got me a couple of cassette albums which were Genesis Live and Cher's Greatest Hits. When I eventually got a CD player the first album I bought was (I think) Laid by James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted September 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) First single was Spooks - Karma Hotel from WHSMITHS. Â Fuck knows what Album it was some part of me think it was a Korn one. Â Here in Halifax town center there isn't one place that sells CD's.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Bought for me: Batman soundtrack by Prince LP or Use your illusion 2 for cd. Â Bought by me: ugly kid Joe - America's least Wanted (I think that's what it was called.. the one with 'hate everything about you' on it.) Â It's an odd one though, because the implications to the answers to this question are different depending on whether you had older siblings or not, I think...

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 16, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2012 First album I owned was a cassette of Trash by Alice Cooper when I was 8, I had a walkman and that one tape I stole off my older cousin and I listened to it constantly  First album I bought was Guns N Roses Appetite for Destruction a short time later, It was a big influence on me because over 20 years later I still think it's amazing and I listen to it all the time.

Merzbow Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I was bought a cassette of Bleach by Nirvana along with some 6ft poster, i wore that tape out eventually. Â First i bought myself? Honestly don't know exactly but it was some 90's dance compilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. My older brother and sister are 7 & 5 years older than me and they definitely influenced my taste in music- as did my Dad. My Dad was into the early Chicago & acid house stuff, so I got into all that through him. In the early 90s my older brother was well into his hip hop (especially NWA, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill) and rave (espec Prodigy), whilst my sister liked her happy hardcore & jungle. So it was always inevitable that I was going to be into dance music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Burchill's Buddy Posted September 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 Without the luxury of elder brothers or sisters, my musical taste was left to fend for itself. Luckily Britpop came and sorted me out from '95 onwards. But my first single and first albums were  Album: PJ and Duncan - Psyche Single: 2 Unlimited - Tribal Dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 17, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 Can't remember what was my first single (it might have been Lovely Day by Bill Withers) and aside from NOW and Smash Hits compilations, my first proper album was Introspective by Pet Shop Boys. Quite proud of that, actually. Â Speaking of whom, their new single, Leaving, is fantastic. One of this country's greatest ever music acts.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2012 i might be off here, but im pretty sure the first cd single i ever owned was WWF Slam Jam. Â Album wise on cd i believe was one of the Gladiator compilation album. If we're talking cassette i actually think it was Guns n' Roses 'Appetite for Destruction' which is pretty fucking cool.

What a great album to have as your first, I love Pet Shop Boys. My Mum didn't influence much of my music taste, because she mostly listened to shite, but Pet Shop Boys were an exception. Please and Introspective are their best stuff for me, Actually is also very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
