Title: Your first CD (not album)
Post by: yesno on April 18, 2008, 01:34:37 PM: "First album you ever bought/got as a gift" doesn't work as a topic, because for me it would be some Chipmunks or Popeye tape I listened to when I was 5. I do have specific memories of listening to Popeye radio drama. And then I collected tapes throughout middle school. I think I was into the Fat Boys and G'N'R Lies before I started to imitate cool high school kids by being into/pretending to like Front 242, Jane's Addiction, Pop Will Eat Itself, and Concrete Blonde. I actually did like all those bands, but I think I brainwashed myself into liking any old band that seemed "cool." But I don't remember, for example, what the first tape I ever bought was. I do remember a treasured mix tape I made that I recorded off of 106.3 in Jersey when it was actually kind of good that had such songs as "Ship of Fools" by World Party and the Butthole Surfer's version of "Hurdy Gurdy Man." Anyway.

But I do remember the first CD I ever got. And it was God Fodder by Ned's Atomic Dustbin, and it came with a t-shirt which was way too big but which I wore all the time.

The first cd I bought after I got a cd player was Julee Cruise's Floating Into The Night.

Eminem, The Slim Shady LP
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication
Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Questionable purchases? Sure. Still, "Doo Wop (That Thing)" = one of the best songs of the nineties. Prove me wrong!

That album sparked my very real love affair with the Weakerthans, and my very imaginary (but no less valid) love affair with John K. Samson (who I have met, mostly by accident, enough times that he recognizes me at shows now! Which kind of freaks me out and makes my life better simultaneously).

I had already owned a CD for a few years, though--a nice CD of Bach keyboard concerti that had come with a club membership. Was all LP and tape up until then.

First CD I actually bought was this, followed by Kojak Variety:

Flood was the third cd I bought. I have no clue what my first cassette was but Quiet Riot's Mental Health is a contender. My first 45 was Juice Newton's Queen Of Hearts when I was really young and the first album I remember buying was Def Leppard's Pyromania.

That was my first CD. I got it on my birthday but I didn't have time to listen to it because I had to get to school. Later that day I was hit in the knee with an aluminum bat (someone's grip slipped in softball) and I got to go home early. I was pscyhed because I got to listen to my new CD and I hated softball anyway.

You must be close to the same age as my kid sister. That was her first album which she played it endlessly on family car trips. This thing gives me horrible flashbacks of being driven aimlessly around Pennsylvania and New York State, bored out of my mind with my head jammed into a pillow.

Hey, I have my father's copy of that! Also, I'm sorry that we both bought 90125 (mine is vinyl). The show I saw from that tour (Rochester 1985) was good. The album, much less so.

Yeah, those are great. I just wish he'd pruned it a bit; even Thriller would have overstayed its welcome at 77 minutes.

I don't think it exists, but I once had a Michael Jackson cover of "Army of Me" stuck in my head for days.

I got "Echo & the Bunnymen" too, but PiL was opened first.

I still love that record. It meant a lot to me in high school. So did "Boys for Pele" and "Choir Girl Hotel". Tori Amos=heroine of my teenage-hood. Her, Ani Difranco, and Kathleen Hanna.

Too bad her new stuff is so disappointing.

I remember thinking then that the honeymoon was over with Adrenalize. They kinda just started sounding like Shania Twain. Or maybe she sounds like Def Leppard, for whatever reason. (http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003804263) But it's nice to be able to put on Hysteria if I ever want to feel 14 again.
