TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Mine was Diana Ross - Chain Reaction and it was an actual vinyl record I still have it and it is still awesome. I remember the fabulous dresses in the video. In fact, here's the video. Fun fact: it was written by the bee gees and they did backing vocals which you can totally tell. Oh and I was 5 at the time. What was the first song you chose and bought yourself? What format was it on? I'm guessing mostly CDs and some tapes. If anyone says mp3 I will kill myself.

Strangelove Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I wont say because its kind of embarrassing, but it was on cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Embarrassing compared to Diana Ross? You have to tell now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) MP3 actually...Due to the fact that I would just copy my friends music and I just torrent stuff these days. I can't remember what it was, but I couldn't find it on any torrent sites so I just ended up buying it, but recently I've developed an interest in vinyl and bought a few.

Yantelope Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 My first CD was Tonic, Lemon Parade. I had Weird Al cassettes before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 The first music I can remember owning was a Vengaboys album on CD. I was about 7 at the time. To be fair, they still play this and a whole lot of other 90s cheese every Friday at what is probably one of the biggest student nights in Manchester. It's post-ironic...or something.

SanaEquiesterer Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 To answer the thread title literally, my first record was a clear blue, 7" limited release by Chris Vrenna/Tweaker for American McGee's Alice. It has a remix of a song from the game by Tweaker and a track from Enter the Matrix. My first album, however, was a CD and I think it was Marilyn Manson. Either Mechanical Animals or Antichrist Superstar. I can better remember the albums I received as gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Heart Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Americana by The Offspring. Not because of Pretty Fly (For A White Guy). When I first heard that song it made me think they were a band like Chumbawamba (who are apparently not very silly beyond their most popular single either). It was after hearing the album at a friend's that I really liked it. Got Smash and Ignition shortly after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 First vinyl? ...Who Calls So Loud self-titled First CD? I think it was either a WWF soundtrack (theme songs or something?) or Ginuwine- 100% Ginuwine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterDex Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) I didn't buy any music till I was 13. First Album was Sinner by Drowing Pool And ya still buy barely any! Thinking back, I had to laugh. The first bit of music I had was a record as well - The Rocky soundtrack! After a start like that, I won't embarrass myself by naming the other music I listened to in my childhood.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I remember Jabez Clegg where they have that night. There's a possibility that I went but a lot of that is shrouded by time and alcohol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) First one I bought myself was Five Iron Frenzy - All the Hype That Money Can Buy on CD. Edited March 27, 2011 by p4warrior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 My first vinyl record was Nirvana's In Utero when I was about 14 or 15. This was a good find as it was brand new and also 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I never owned much music. We would just copy records from my uncle onto cassette tapes. My first CD was a collection of sound effects that we got at K-Mart for $5.99. (Why I remember that, I have no idea) but I used to take my cassette recorder and make radio shows or stories using the sound effects and everything. Those was the days!
