That f*cking picture of the dog...

Damn we're doing this now? Fun fun

First tape I bought: Face Dances - The Who
First CD I borrowed from my parents: I think it was The Wall, although I didn't borrow it, I just found it in our barn in a dusty cabinet. It was definitely the first one I listened to over and over.
First CD I bought: probably some thrift store PoS. I probably bought more than one CD that day anyway out of excitement.
First vinyl given to me: a bunch from my mum in commemoration of my first record player. I remember The Game (Queen) and Hi-Infidelity (R.E.O.) best.
First vinyl I ever bought: Cornerstone - Styx

Hey, something I can actually contribute to now.

First tape I bought: Dogman - King's X
First CD I borrowed from my parents: Uh, probably several. Maybe Let There Be Rock by AC/DC.
First CD I bought: I think it was Greatest Hits - Aerosmith
First vinyl given to me: Live Bootleg - Aerosmith, got it as a birthday gift along with my first record player.
First vinyl I ever bought: Night in the Ruts - Aerosmith

lol I forgot how much I was obsessed with Aerosmith when I was first really getting into music.

Dope album, grew up on this one as well.

Unitron · 10-23-2018, 09:51 PM

Yeah, Dogman is easily my favorite King's X album. I think the grunge influence really fit well with their sound.

First CD I borrowed from my parents: n/a

^ LOL at "Piss Vortex"! Luckily these days you don't have to go into a record shop and ask for stuff by name.

^ Whatever it is, it's very flattering to be "done", so many thanks Neapolitan. I will return the compliment later in the day, I hope.

Meantime my five ignorant cents on Miles Davis: I'm like Goldilocks trying out the three bears' favourites, "Hmm, this Kind of Blue is too conventional, let's try Bitches Brew. No, that's just too out there to be comfortable. Ah! In a Silent Way is just right."

rostasi and Frownland clearly had an unusual affinity for music right from early on, whereas the only thing exceptional about my musical firsts is that they happened so long ago:-

First single I bought*: Seventy-Six Trombones (* meaning I heard it on the radio and my big sister took me to the shop to spend some birthday money)
First non-Beatle* album I bought: The Kinks self-titled (* because between us my sister and I bought every Beatle release as it came out)
First cd I bought: Roy Buchanan self-titled
First parents' cd I borrowed: Never happened as they never owned cds. They had some classical albums and 78s, but me and my parents were on opposite sides of a generation gap: they didn't like what I listened to, and I avoided their diet of exclusively classical music.

I bet Frown got called an avant garde weirdo for that POD CD.

Nah man, it was the Tim McGraw tape that made me so hard.
