[sangman]

Hi guys simple questions. firstly I was looking for some ideas for new music lo listen to. So the answers given may inspire you and me to pick up some of the music we may hwve forgotten about . The question is
what were the first three albums or cds you brought? So I will start.
Deep purple in rock
Jmmy hendrix electric ladyland parents to me to get that filth out of the house if you have the album you know why (very very over the top parents)
Pink floyd dsotm
over to you guys

[ktmog6uk]

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
OKJive - Life at the Blue Chonjo Sky Day and Night Club
Wishbone Ash - Number The Brave

[craig1912]

Slade- Slayed
Slade- Alive
T.Rex- The Slider & Ride a White Swan

There are four as all bought in same year (1972) but I can't remember which order.
Probably won't give much inspiration but even now there are one or two classic tracks on them

[Velorum]

The Man Who Sold the World
David Bowie
1970

Big War Movie Themes
Geoff Love Orchestra
1971

The Planets
Gustav Holst
1971

[quoll]

All on vinyl, of course:

Wishbone Ash - Live Dates
Free - The Best of Free
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

Very quickly followed by

The Doors - The Best of the Doors
Pink Floyd - Meddle

Looks like I was into compilation albums back then. I never buy compilations now.

I just checked. I still have the Wishbone Ash, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Free albums. They must be amongst my oldest possessions. It must have been 72/73/74.

[solwisesteve]

Rick Wakeman, Six Wives of Henry the 8th
The Planets, Gustav Holst
Pink Floyd, Dark Side...

[Foxy100]

I don't actually recall although I have a vague memory of buying 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson on tape. CDs - 'Blue Room' by the Orb (the full 39-minute version), 'Unplugged' by Eric Clapton and 'Amused to Death' by Roger Waters.

[village]

I think,what with memory being a bit hazy...

Ultravox - Vienna
Queen - The Works
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms

although.......I was also into Deep Purple and Pink Floyd so it may just have easily have been Dark Side of the Moon,Wish You Were Here or a Deep Purple compilation.

[robcat]

Again, a bit vague.

Certainly nothing "cool", as my musical tastes at around 10 were pretty poppy.

First album was probably Parrallel Lines by Blondie (on tape), but I bought a few compilations of chart singles when I was that age (I think "Video Stars" was one). I even bought one of the "Top of the Pops" ones, which when I got it home I was horrified to discover didn't contain original recordings, but crap covers of recent chart songs!

Shortly after that I lived abroad where pirate tapes were what everyone bought (and very cheap), so added things like
Plastic Letters by Blondie
Vienna and Rage In Eden by Ultravox
Replicas, The Pleasue Principle and Telkon by Gary Numan/Tubeway Army
Peter Gabriel 3

I do know that the first singles I bought were
Cars by Gary Numan
Video Killed The Radio Star by Buggles
Someone's Looking At You by The Boomtown Rats

[smithdj10]

All vinyl which I still buy now:
Nation of Millions - Public Enemy
License to Ill - Beastie Boys
Straight Outta Compton - NWA

[sangman]

[chester]

Quote " Again, a bit vague.

I think that Album was and still is the personification of cool, Blondie coming straight out of the New York sub culture and crossing over to the main stream and going supersonic with that album.

[walkerwek1958]

1972, aged 14, my first purchase was Led Zeppelin 111, closely followed by Zepellin 1V and Deep Purple's Machinehead.

Still like the Zeppelin albums but I don`t think the Deep Purple stuff has aged well.

[Joyce]

It's quite surprising how many of the same albums keep appearing in this list.

Here's my first three - all of which are probably on other people's lists:

Ride a White Swan - T.Rex 1972
Old New Borrowed and Blue - Slade 1974
A Night at the Opera - Queen 1975 (RIP Freddie)

All bought from paper-round money : )

[sangman]

Can't remember the subsequent ones but the first was Tarkus by ELP.

Is that the album that has ELPs version of Jerusalem?
