Lighthouse Family

Ocean Drive

I'm so sorry


i think

the spice girls


OK Computer

and my second was C'est La Vie by B*Witched, true story.


The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation

a totally acceptable selection :)


Chorus

by Erasure


Peter Cetera

Solitude/Solitaire...must have been something to do with The Karate Kid 2


Bought with my own money:

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Soundtrack

Used some of those coca-cola ring pull tokens to get my first cd:

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory


Purchased ? With my own money ?

The Smiths - the queen is dead


OK Computer


All Change - Cast

Shameful


There are still a few songs on that album

i'd be happy to listen to today. Happy memories...


And as it happens

I still listen to quite a few songs from 'Chorus'. Lovely stuff.


I think I actually bought them on the same day.

'Speak and Spell' Depeche Mode
'Greatest Hits' Queen (now called Vol 1 I think).

I'd've been 12 I think.


The Verve

'Urban Hymns'


Snap.

On Cassette.

First ever CD I bought with my own real saved up pocket money was Nevermind by Nirvana.

I 'owned' so much shite before that I asked mummy and daddy to get me before though. Spice Girls and Stereophonics come to mind.


Sash! - The Greatest Hits

I still have it and listen to it.


Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

by Elton John. Still play it every now and then. Great album.


Presidents of the USA - S/T

... and I thought I was a bad-ass because they say 'f*ck' in the first song.

I'm pretty sure I'm no longer a bad-ass though.


Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

was the first album I purchased on CD. I can't remember the first album I got on cassette, too long ago. I think it may have been Roxette's first album. Yuck!


Haha...

My first cassette was 2Unlimited.
I hang my head in shame!


Also Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation

First album purchased with my own money.

I had several Michael Jackson albums before that on the free though ;)


snap


(What's the Story)

Morning Glory


An album of WWF intro songs

Still own that classic.


Fugees

The Score


even draw?

Dodgy - Free Peace Sweet!!
"Good Enough" is still a tuuuuune!

single however was Hanson - Mmm Bop - hang me now


yes!

i had volume 4. loved that.


East 17

I can't remember the album title though.


Blur "Leisure"

on cassette...yeah, cassette.


probably U2

War or Under A Blood Red Sky, it's so long ago....


With my own money

8 Mile Soundtrack. Listening to that in my room as a 12 year old with massive headphones is a good memory


8 Miles Soundtrack...

bought when you were 12.
Man I suddenly feel way too old!


I was just about to say exactly the same thing

Although I'm not much that much older, I remember going to see 8 Mile with my first serious boyfriend when I was 16. I have no idea why we went though, since neither of us liked Eminem and it was just us and a cinema full of chavs...


it gets worse for me...

Haha.
I knew all the words to 'The Marshal Matthers LP'
I am that sad.
I hang my head in shame (yet again)
Oh the sad things we do when young(er)


Mechanical Animal

By Marilyn Manson.

I was such a rebellious 13 year old ...


Jamiriquai

Travelling without moving.

pretty good first album i reckons.


Same here

Come on, Cosmic Girl was quality.


Now 32


turn on the bright lights

because i liked the cover.


Sepultura - Chaos AD

on tape after hearing it at my new neighbours house. Fucking mint album.


The Simpsons Sing The Blues

Although the first tape I ever owned was the Now 11 compilation.

The first CD I ever owned was Black Sunday by Cypress Hill.


Erm.

Yourself or Someone Like You - Matchbox 20.
In my defence I didn't buy my first album until I was 16. But I'd stolen hundreds of my bib sis's tapes (which were much cooler).


Lightning Seeds - Jollification

And it was ace. Still is!


ELO - New World Record

I was 12, still got it and the vinyl still has no scratches!


Pipes of Peace - Paul McCartney

Does being 5 years old excuse this?


...

on cassette The Bends.

then on CD Crazy, Sexy, Cool.

Both on a par i'm sure you'll agree.

RIP Left Eye.


Limp Bizkit

Significant Other


Drag City

Jan & Dean


Now That's What I Call Music ...

something-or-other, probably around the 20s. There was always one side of one tape worth listening to. This one may have had REM on it.

It was dark red, I think. Anyone out there an expert on these things?

Proper album: Nevermind, probably.


probably smurfs go pop if that counts

my music taste hasn't changed much since


Abbey Road

Probably the most inconsistent of all the Beatles' albums. The second half is the most amazing thing I've ever heard in my life, but I can't stand the first. It was just a sign that they were all gonna be really shit when they went solo.

APART FROM YOU, PAUL <£


....

Ash - Free all angels

and

Muse - Origin of Symmetry

I didn't really start collecting stuff till I was 16, as I was far more into games and Bruce lee films. Well I was 18 when I buying music seriously.

The student loan has bought me hundreds of albums.


Ace of Base!!!

That was the first album i owned but I dont remember the first one I bought. I think it might have been G'n'R Use your Illusion 2, but Im not sure


Maiden

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden, £4.99 from the record shop in Long Eaton.

a mere 28 years ago?
No shame in either.


Running in the Family by Level 42 (1987)

Nothing like a bit of slap bass, is there? Thank goodness.


Tom Petty

something to do with heartbreak...... free fallin etc.


NIN- Pretty Hate Machine

& Depeche Mode- Violator

This was followed shortly by the year that I wore only black.

Thank god I discovered Aphex Twin or who knows what would have happened!


You probably would never have touched drugs

and now you'd have a proper job rather than spending the day on DiS.


What's The Story Morning Glory? by Oasis

That was the first one I bought, but my first record was 'Vault' by Def Leppard.


ladysmith black mambazo

the star and the wiseman.

still got it somewhere i'm happy to say.


Something by BROS

It changed my life.


i think my first cd was..

chumba wumba...that one with the 'i get knocked down and i get up again' song. I think I mustve been really quite young. I was into a lot of the 'one hit wonders' growing up the 90's. I'm not ashamed....well, not that ashamed


*Chumbwamba


Beat this...

Appetite for Destruction
Licensed to Ill

love ya
x


Def Leppard 'On Through The Night', I was 9

MEGALOLZ!

Anyone who's claiming to have bought Out of Step when they were 6 or anything like that can fuck off right now.


dr dre

2001

a classic i think you will all agree


well...

i bought 'hysteria' when i was 6. does that count?


Origin Of Symmetry

by Muse.


1977

Still love the sound of that Tie-Fighter


i really don't remember

it might have been 'nevermind'. but i can't remember. i was about twelve, anyway and that's about nine years and thousands of cds.


errrm

i think it was
Life through a lens - Robbie Williams.

I'm sorry, i'm so sorry.
