first vinyl- Simon & Garfunkel (can't remember the name of the album but cover had both guys profile pic, lots of trees.)
first cd-Handel's Messiah
latest cd purchased- Eagles very best of.(just HAD to have it.)

First vinyl album I bought was............ are you ready for this........... The Smothers Brothers Live at the Purple Onion (I think it was purple) But that's not really a music album. The first music album was Led Zepplin III. Had lots of 8 Tracks back in the day.   First CD, I've no idea.




[Message Edited]

First Vinyl I ever bought was a 45, "Brandy" by Looking Glass, with "Golden Rainbow" on the B-side.

First LP I ever bought was Bachman Turner Overdrive (self-titled).

Don't remember which was the actual first cassette, but I think it was either Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive" or Kansas' "Point of Know Return"

First 8-track was Dan Fogleberg's "Greatest Hits".

My first CD was Bob Seger's "Greatest Hits". My most recent CD purchase was "The Long Road" by Nickelback.

First CD was D-A-D: Helpyourselfish - Danish rock gods.

Nowadays I buy new CD's from CDWOW: http://www9.cd-wow.com/ They're extremely cheap, but the downside is they only have the new stuff available, which in most cases means pure crap like Justin, Britney etc. There are some highlights though such as AIR: Talkie Walkie

Otherwise I go to a special music store called Sexbeat Records in the center of Copenhagen, he has the records I'm looking for in the heavy genre.

Sometimes I go to the regular CD shops as well.

The download era haven't reached Denmark yet (at least the legal). There are some music stores available, but they're not somthing I wanna indulge myself into. Bad offers and lame catalogs. I'll probably use Napster when that service is available here. I will never use iTunes.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road the day it was released in Ansonia Connecticut

First vinyl LP was The Isley Brothers ... don't remember the name, but I wore it out until it wouldn't hardly play

First 8 track was Rare Earth ... probably not too many people remember that group.

First CD was Joe Satriani ...Flying in a Blue Dream

Wow, dig back into the archives.
First vinyl: Either Sixteen Tons by Tenn. Ernie Ford or Elvis, You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog.
" 8-track: The Doors
" album: I think it was the Rolling Stones, Aftermath.
" cd : I think it was the Eagle's Greatest Hits or a compilation album.
Also have had a few 78's and some open reel tape, and one of the first cassettes-the cassette itself was about 4 by 6 inches.


pictoratus, Like all your choices

WOM can't remember back 50 years. They had 33 and 78 rpm's then.

First vinyl, was the Beatles red double album.
First CD was Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason.
And today I still buy CD's when I want music.

I can't remember!! 30 years is a long time

First vinyl album might have been either (same as Essencay) Elton John (Captain Fantastic) or Moody Blues (Days of Future Passed)...I think!

First 45 might have been something from Donny Osmond!

First 8-track was John Denver's Greatest Hits

First cassette...have no idea, could've been something local (from Hawaii)

First CD Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here)

First anything was a 45 - Sugar Shack by Bill Haley and the Comets. I did get a bunch of 78's with old jazz. I miss those a lot.

First album was (I think) Soft Parade by the Doors. First CD - hmmm. Oddly I can't remember. As you get old, recent memory goes first.

HMV is usually the place I get stuff now.

First Vinyl: The Monkees, Greatest Hits. (I'm so embarassed)
First CD: Van Halen, Diver Down or Rush, Signals.
Latest CD: Third Day, Wire or David Crowder Band, Illuminate.

Typically...if it's not available on ITunes, I don't bother.

roflmao @Jafo's post hahahahahaha

I was born in 56.....that would make you only about 8 yrs older... dang where did the time go????

While I was upstairs quietly listening to a vinyl 45 with 'Paint it Black' on one side and 'Hey Little Girl' on the other via a plastic orange and grey record player...my 4 yrs older than me brother was gyrating and stomping the cheap 50's modular style accessories off the walls dancing to Elvis....after which he would wear his earth colored paisley print cotton short with the sleeves torn off...a 4'diameter sombrero hanging off his neck and his $10 acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder (no he couldn't play worth a toot) and go walking around town in cowboy boots way too tight with a james dean/elvis attitude plastered all over his face until it was suppertime.... My 2 yrs older than me sister was fussing over her blonde hair and practicing frowning attractively and kissing herself in the mirror

. I had a 'Mr. Machine' that I subliminally programmed to attack her for being such a sick prissy.
