Ok, this thread probably already exists, but I can't be bothered looking :dozey:

 

(If a mod wants to merge it with another one, that's fine :) )

 

Based on a tweet I've just seen, what was the first single and first album you ever bought?

 

My first single (7inch vinyl because I'm old!)

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B2a6l6wM2k]YouTube - ‪Adam & The Ants - Stand And Deliver‬‏[/ame]

 

Stand and Deliver, Adam & the Ants

 

And my first album (think the Coldplay boys would approve of this one ;) )

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914]YouTube - ‪A-Ha - Take On Me (OFFICIAL VIDEO)‬‏[/ame]

 

Take on Me, from the album Hunting High & Low, A-ha

Don't have vinyl because I'm normal.

 

The first album I remember buying with my own money is:

 

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NlT-ELVWk0]YouTube - ‪Billy Gilman - One Voice‬‏[/ame]

Normal? :o

 

I think I prefer being though of as old that abnormal

 

So what kind of music does Billy perform? I'm guessing from the picture that he's a bit different to Coldplay? :D

Interesting that some people are saying "I don't buy singles". I wonder if that's a generational/technology thing - are you all kids of the dowload age?

 

I was a kid in the 80's and I tended to buy singles rather than albums because it took me so long to save for an album (there's 4 or 5 years between my fist single and first album)

 

Also interesting to see all the pop acts we were in to before Coldplay came along :P

Actually, for me, I just don't see the point of getting singles in general. If I want music, I'm going to get an album's worth, not one song. Ionno. :shrug:

Single: Probably Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart (on 45)

 

Record: Michael Jackson's Thriller (on vinyl)

I wonder if that's a generational/technology thing

bingo

this is quite embarrassing :ashamed:

 

at first i did buy 3 singles at once

 

 

1) :heart::heart::heart::p

 

2)

 

3) and some techno dj remix of the titanic title song which i cant find the cover of :)

 

 

and a few weeks later i got my first albums..

 

 

 

 

Never bought a single :shrug:

First album as a gift: S Club 7 - S club

I loved that album so much :blush:

First album I bought was S Club 7 - '7'

No singles here... :/

But I better not say my first album. :embarrassed:

 

I was a kid then...

...and it was...an Avril Lavigne album :lol: :embarrassed:

 

 

Yeah, I changed my whole music taste since then...:)

I remember when i was getting my first single (Uptown Girl - Westlife) my parents said, do you want cd or tape? and i looked up at the shelves and it seemed like such a big choice. I studied them both for what seemed like forever then somehow chose tape? I don't know why, maybe i was actually a hipster then, but i just didn't know it? I still have the tape.

Obviously tape was better. You could play it in your car.

oooh

First single: pffttt no

First album: Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park when i was 11 or 12. still listen to it sometimes. i particularly love the EP they released the year before.
