Your first album

[Invader Zim]

In my experiance most people, including my self, bought tragically bad albums when they were young, I thought it would be a laugh to see what other people bought when they were first getting into music, and probably are now totally ashamed of. Having said that however, I was just looking through my CD's and discovered "Dizzy heights" by the Lightining Seeds and "Morning Glory" by Oasis, these were the first two real albums I ever bought. However my initial great buys do not excuse my not marginally later attrocities, which included a shameful Offspring album... but we won't go into that.

Of course I had been buying shitty compelation albums (they don't count) prior to the momentus occasions when I purchased that Oasis album in 1995 (which would have made me 9, and Dizzy Heights in 1996, and I can still say that they are both fantastic albums. While other people my age listened to Shaggy and the Spice Girls, I was listening to Oasis and scouser brit pop icons the Lightning seeds.... and unfortunatly the Offspring.

What either astonishingly good, or momentously bad music were you listening too before you refined your tastes a little?

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I was into oldies when around 9 util I was about 12. So I think it was either a Beach Boys compilation or A Hard Day's Night or a Drifters compilation. :lol:

[Rockfan]

Mine was linken parks hybrid theory, which i don't lesen to much now and regret buy to be honest them the chillis by the way which is one of my favs.

[The Forum Idiot]

Started off listening to my parents Oasis and Elvis Costello when I was mega-little (5) in the car and stuff. Around 7/8 I started listening to serious crap, I mean below Spice Girls, S Club 7, etc. I mean, the lowest of the low. My first single was a Westlife thinG. >_< Then I got Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears which admittedly is understandable for a 7/8 year old guy. (Not only was she the prettiest girl I ever saw at the time but her videos were kinda sexy for my still developing libido. I remember the B-side being pretty good but that&#39;s probably by my (6 years) old standards. Then after a Westlife album I actually got into Grieg (yes, the old classical guy) for a while when I was like 8/9. Then a little after Westlife&#39;s second album I started listening to real stuff, 4 Star Mary being my favourite band up until I got back into Stereophonics (who I actually liked what I&#39;d heard of from about 7), then with Stereophonics, Oasis. This takes me up until about 11, when I got into Nirvana. I&#39;d like to say the first album I myself owned was "Just Enough Education To Perform" by Stereophonics but I won&#39;t lie... However I can&#39;t remember the Westlife albums so meh. I do remember the Grieg one I liked "Pyr Gint 2" or something.

[Ian]

I bought a shitty tape by the Out-There Brothers when I was about 7, first CD was Cereal Killer by Green Jelly, it&#39;s a shocker.

[BOZG]

Outhere Brothers too, or possibly PJ & Duncan&#39;s Let&#39;s Get Ready To Rumble.

[Eddie Van Halen]

was never really into music for much of my life (the heavy religious thing kinda held it back untill i was out of the childish phase)

When i was 12/13 (i forget), i bought 1984 by Van Halen and never looked back.

[FriedFrog]

First tape: Spice Girls first album :lol:
First CD: NOW 42

Both are shite

[celtopunk]

I think this has been done before, or maybe that was another site.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

I remeber my father putting rock music all the time since I was born.When I was like 6 i used to listen to classical music.The first CD I bought was "Let&#39;s talk about Love"by Celine Dion :ph34r: , a cd that I&#39;ve lost now.Then when I was about 10 I got into what my dad was listening,and I found myself owning almost all of the Beatles cd&#39;s&#33;

[BOZG]

"Lost"......sure.

[bolshevik butcher]

I bought now 50 when I was about 12. I suppose my first real album was Nirvana, that was when I was 13 though, I didn&#39;t used to like music much.

[The Forum Idiot]

Mwhaha I only ever had one shitty Now album and that was when I was like 7.

[NovelGentry]

I think my first album ever was a New Kids on the Block album. The first album I bought that I can still bare (and for that mater love) listening to is Radiohead&#39;s The Bends.

[Knowledge 6 6 6]

when I was 9 years old, I bought Bon Jovi&#39;s &#39;Crossroads&#39;.

Scary.

[The Forum Idiot]

When I first heard Bon Jovi (it wasn&#39;t particularly hair metallish fyi) I thought it was ok. HATE them now.

[Ligeia]

I never bought any album and I never owned one,too.
But a friend gave me "Angels with dirty faces" from the "Sugababes". <_<
And before I got "masters of classical music" as a present when I was 9. :D

[QUOTE]Celto Punk "Black Sabbath - Paranoid. "

Me too, on cassette Hmm dont like it anymore.

[Hampton]

I remember buying the cassette version of Black Sabbath- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath for like &#036;2. I remember buying like all of their albums for like 3 bucks each.

[refuse_resist]

From what I can remember the first albums I ever owned were "Cinema Verite" by Dramarama, which is this band that was around during the 80&#39;s. Another one I remember is "Dookie" by Green Day, then of course, then of course there was Nirvana.

[Hate Is Art]

It was Nevermind by Nirvana.

[h&s]

The Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavoured Water, by Limp Bizkit.
I hang my head in shame.

I bought that one too, and it really sucks. I cant believe i bought that piece of shit.
But i wont tell you which was my first album since its even more embarrasing.


Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

Good for you&#33;

[EneME]

I had horrible taste as a kid. I LOVED The Carpenters, I&#39;d sing along to all their albums at the top of my lungs, and I still remember the words. I had all of the New Kids on the Block cassettes :lol: I was in love with Joey. :blink: I also owned some Madonna, Paula Abdul, and DEBBIE GIBSON was my favorite. I had some New Edition and BBD too....man I was really lame... well... some would debate that "was"... :huh:

[Motorcycle_diAries]

Well, i was into CCR and The Beatles when i was a kid. Now i&#39;m stuck with Metallica and Oasis. :) And i love&#39;em all. Still&#33;&#33;

Ohh yeah, I remember that, I actually got that as well. Same kind of time I got "Dizzy" probably... I had forgotten that attrocity. :D


Didn&#39;t it have some line about smashing the mike?

First CD: NOW 42

Was that the one with the Wamdoo project on it, or some rubbish like that?

I never bought any album and I never owned one,too.

Ohh no&#33; You must be joking, music is fantastic and a good album is a work of art.

As for my origional stuff, I am actually listening to the Lightening seeds now.


Who out of the Brit/Irish members remembers them? They did that football song for Euro &#39;96, you remember "Three Lions". For the record, the only time patriotism is accaptable is when the football is on.

[Des]

first album : Megadeth - Rust in Piece

amazing stuff&#33;

I believe it was "Watch us wreck the mic, watch us wreck the mic, watch us wreck the mic, psych&#33;"

They never really went away. They reappear every so often. I wouldn&#39;t say patriotism is acceptable outside of England, but massive anti-England sentiment is acceptable in every other country.

It&#39;s largely due to how the media must portray England/Britain in sport, as the greatest team in every sport and competition, even when they&#39;re clearly not. Another example of the patriotism in the British media was at the time of the Greg Rusedski drug links, when originally Rusedski was always considered British (as a Canadian playing for Britain), as soon as the drug smear appeared, he was no long British but "Canadian Greg Rusedski".

[STI]

"Happiness is Not a Fish that You can Catch" by Our Lady Peace. Still love it.

[Pawn Power]

I think it was some Weezer albume.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

I think the first album I went out with a conscious desire to get a hold of was SUM41&#39;s "Half Hour Of Power" EP . . . about five years ago (I feel so young, haha). Interestingly, the liner notes mentioned Closet Monster (http://www.closetmonster.com/), who were instrumental in politicizing me . . .

[anarchocommie]

Some of those albums are actually pretty good....and none are bad enough to make my first album any less pathetic. I bought Poison&#39;s "Flesh and Blood&#39;. Do you have any idea how many replays of "Will The Fetus Be Aborted&#39; it took to wash away the feelings of shame associated with actually owning a poison album? My taste got better quickly..Living Colour and Faith No more were two of my early favorites. but still..I bought a Poison album..((shudders))

[FriedFrog]

To give you an example of what was on this atrocious CD, there was:
Cartoons - Witchdoctor
Vengaboys - We Like to Party
Cher - Believe

And many other God awful songs :lol: :lol:

[truthaddict11]

my first album was the Beatles Anthology Vol 1

[RABBIT - THE - CUBAN - MILITANT]

first tape : Straight Outta Compton - N.W.A

frist CD: Me Against the World - Tupac

[Don't Change Your Name]

Most people who has "good taste" with music started with Queen and the Beatles. So if someday you have a child, buy him/her "Revolver". Otherwise they might end up buying crap as Britney Spears, Poison and Motley Crue

[The Forum Idiot]

I&#39;m gonna get my kid into Jeff Buckley, Weezer, The Kinks, New Order, Pulp, The Breeders, The Vaselines and REM.
