CD...

The Sisters of Mercy - floodland, I think...


yes

Attack Of The Spiders, the b-sides collection that followed debut album Spiders by Space. Because it wasn't released on cd and i'm an obsessive compulsive completist.


*tape

it wasn't released on tape.


RE: Snow_Bridge

That is an amazing first CD, well played sir.


Loser

Beck


First CD

was probably the Spice Girls 'Wannabe'

BUT the first piece of music I ever owned was the Ace of Base album, on tape, which I bought from ASDA and we listened to it in the car on the way home. I LOVED IT


i think.im not sure.i think it was

liquid skin by gomez.i didnt buy it.twas a birthday present


Bodycount's first album

reissue unfortunately :(


It was a tape

Kylie Minogue. I was 5.


I do

I bought three from Woolworth's in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. They were:

Feeder - Comfort In Sound
RHCP - By The Way
The White Stripes - Elephant

I got into music reeeeally late compared to most people. I'd honestly not even noticed stuff on the radio until I was about 14.


.,..,.,.,.,

'into your arms' - lemonheads


Cowes!

That Woolies is an untapped goldmine =D


I remember my first cassette album (Blur Parklife)

but CD . . . . maybe Bush Razorblade Suitcase or Reef Glow. I didn't get a CD player til Christmas 1996.


high five!

me too....about the cd player. not about reef and bush.


what's the story morning glory

oasis, i was about 8


All Saints - Saints & Sinners

pure shores, black coffee...classics


Idlewild

mini album


Revolver

by the Beatles.


I guess I am old

My first were metallica-master of puppets, and guns n roses appetite for destruction.


By first CD, I'm taking this to mean the format

rather than piece of recorded music.

I got my first CD player for Christmas 1990 and 2 CDs to go in it, so my first CD was either Now...20 or Nevermind. I'd like to think I opened Nirvana first, but I think I was probably drawn to the bigger package (stop it) of the double CD first.


Christmas 1991 surely?

Either that or you managed to get hold of a copy of nevermind 6 months before it was released.


Natalie Imbruglia, Torn.

Still amazing to this day.

First album? Perhaps Limp Bizkit, Chocoalte Starfish and the Hotdog Flavoured Water.

Not so amazing to this day.


yes

you are correct, also, good job on nevermind, listen to in utero.


Yes....

Brimful of Asha, the re-released version....


smash, bleach and blood sugar sex magik

all bought together based on mixtapes made from my friends big brothers "cool" cds


Actually the best way to discover music

You know...when you were 13... maybe not now.

by the way, it's settled, i'm 100% listening to Smash when i get home


ooo

First CD I OWNED was 'What's the story Morning Glory'

The first CD I BOUGHT was 'Pulp - Different Class'

Both over shadowed by the first TAPE I owned which was Bon Jovi - Crossroads.

Bo, and indeed, yeah.


I am similar...

My dad bought me Pulp - Different Class, but I didn't recieve that until Christmas Day. I bought Morning Glory with my own cash that same day.


Viva! Europop '96

and 100 Years of Cinema.
I won them.


Standing on the shoulders of giants

by Oasis. Wasnt much good looking back.


Spectacular Sound Effects Vol.2

to this day i regret throwing that CD away


First CD was Warren G - Regulate

I had loads of tapes before that though including Simply Red


i know every single word to the title track

i rap along to it on a regular basis
:)


roll with it

by oasis... hohum....!


Lightning Seeds - Jollification

Got it as a present for Xmas along with my first CD player.

Man, I was hardcore from the start.


Mine was Lightning Seeds too

My Dad bought me the best of based on my love for 3 Lions =D


I bought my first two cd's on the same day

The Smiths : The World Won't Listen

Debbie Harry : Rockbird


Will Smith - Big Willie Style

i was 10, still love that album though


Meatloaf - Hits Out of Hell

although I may have bought the Mr Blobby single prior to this.

Ahh, sweet memories...


<3 Meat Loaf


Space

Spiders


Unknown Pleasures

but only because I was 15 before I got a CD player. If I'd have had one at the start of my record buying 'career' it would've been far more embarrassing.


Yep

1st CD single was "Hip Hop Hooray" by Naughty By Nature.

1st CD Album was "Bacdafucup" by Onyx.

1st Tape was "1990 - A New Decade" by Soul 2 Soul.

Word!!!!!


cripes

first tapes:
Batman Soundtrack - Prince
Cuts Both Ways - Gloria Estefan
Appretite For Destruction - G n'R
ahem, belinda carlisle, ahem kylie, ahem...

First CD: Sing by Abra Moore when I was, erm, 18, I didn't have a cd player til 20! This album is bloody marvellous, a bit Laura Veirs/Joanna Newsom in its darker tracks...


Definitely Maybe

December 1994 I think.


Popscene


Fugees

The Score.

Considering I was like 5/6 I think thats alright, actually... my second was something by Boyzone, not cool.


Everything Must Go - Manic Street Preachers

i was pleased as a couple of weeks later it won at the brits, and went from £10.50 to £16 in Our Price.


blur - the great escape..

good times


me too!

of all the blur albums!


Me to

though i should coco? 1996. i was the first person in my house to own a cd player. sweet (i had an older sister)


Yeah, I Should Coco, obviously.

Have no idea why I wrote that...


i can't remember my first album

but my first single was totally addicted to bass - puretone
perfect disco poop


I bought 2 at once,

U.F.Orb by um, The Orb and Automatic for the people by R.E.M. 1991 I think.


GUNS N' ROSES

USE YOUR ILLUSIONS 2 IN 1991


Big Willie Style by Will Smith

I fucking kid you not. What a tool.


Dookie.


Faithless - Insomnia

CD single on Cheeky Records.


The Prodigy - Charly

was my first CD. I was about 10/11 at the time, and the Acid Rave scene in my school was unescapable. I remember it shifted to
Jungle about 3 years later, with indie/dance acts like Carter USM, PWEI and Ned's Atomic Dustbin filling the interim; but those early, early 90s halcyon days, man... of course, it's unfashionable to like the Prodigy now, but they were important, once. Charly was such a mind-shock to a kid brought up on his parent's tastes - Queen, The Carpenters, Beatles, Gershwin.


Craig David

born to do it.


I don't know what the band is

or if this is the correct song name, but I got that You Only Get What You Give song as my first CD, alongside a Polly Pocket with my saved up pocket money.


It's by The New Radicals

and it's a great tune. Complete 1-hit Wonder, though - under his own steam, that is - the guy behind it has written a lot of top-40 material.


OK Computer

2nd Cd - B*Witched: C'est La Vie.

True story.


The Spaghetti Incident

by Guns N'Roses. I got it the day it came out which just so happened to be the day after my birthday when I was given my first ever CD player. At the time this was an exciting cd to buy...


Dire Straits

"love over gold" on LP.

Im very sorry.


Album - Gold Mother by James

Singles - She's so high by Blur and James - Come Home. People used to come round our house just to marvel at the clear sound - I was the first person I knew with a CD player. It was 1989 in rural worcestershire


actually must have been 1990

and the Lose Control single


The first music I got

was the beastie boys - sound of science on cassette. My first CD was punk-o-rama 5.


Heartworm

Whipping Boy


most of my earlier listening

was from my brother's music collection.

I think it may have been a therapy? ep o n tape. That or wildhearts.


PJ & Duncan - Psyche

And now I can't find it :(


Smash Hits '98


Christmas present.

Bored minds may wander.


I had..

the Rollin' Limp Bizkit single. I was so cool!


The Best Reggae Album In The World... Ever! 2

It's better than the first one. It's got Pato Banton, and 'Incredible' by M-Beat on it.


Like soup in a pot

we are what?

A bubblin' hot.


Not bad.

Cypress Hill - Black Sunday.


3 Years 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life of

by Arrested Development..... i think. that was the first CD that was my own. my dad bought it for me. to this day, i have NO IDEA WHY.


.

ha! yes well it's just reaaaaally not the kind of thing i could imagine my dad buying. he must've seen it on the news or something. it was just very random of him.


Parenting instinct kicked in

"She's got to learn about homeless people from somewhere."


i'm going to ask him about it next time i'm home

and i'll put it on in the background..quietly.. to set the mood


The Matrix OST

I still like Deftones so that's okay.


Incubus

Make Yourself


I expect it was something lame like

Bitty McLean or something. That, but cooler.


the clash

london calling.


Monty Python

Always Look On the Bright Side of Life
