We went to this community pool as kids and the summer that came out Pour Some Sugar On Me was played on the juke box every 10 minutes :smiley: When I hear that song now I swear I smell chlorine and hot dogs.

Saved my allowance and bought the first Beatles albumā€¦and I still have have it! Itā€™s in somewhat rough shape as I played the hell out of it and loaned it out to various friends.

I still own all the original Beatles albums and all the early Rolling Stones! Boxes of LPs are stored away. Someday I will purchase a turntable again to play them in all their scratchy goodness! To this day, certain songs that had a skip on the record ā€¦well, I sing the skip! :joy:

Def Leppard was a band almost everyone liked or at least respected, regardless of clique or genreā€¦they had an incredibly clean sound and amazing hooks. Journey as well.

Thatā€™s awesome

I played that very song in the car the other day, and later my 3 year old son kept asking for the ā€œHam and Sugarā€ song. We had a good laugh.

And now they have their own pop figures!

I bet that was a killer show.

The first cassettes I remember begging my parents for was a collection of old time radio shows. When I was 9 or so, a local FM station would play old time radio shows on Thursday nights, and I got hooked on them. So, yeah, nerd alertā€¦

Showing my age here but as best I can remember first few LPs
The Who Live at Leeds
CSNY dejaVu
Led Zeppelin I and II

I have hundreds of vinyl, CDs and tapes most of which I am having trouble getting rid of, even though I have ripped or digitally recorded about 75% of them. Much to my wifeā€™s chagrin. I still occasionally play vinyl. But mostly stream from my Plex server or online services.

The first one I bought was the EP mixes of The Space Brotherā€™s ā€œEverywhere I Goā€ closely followed by Alanis Morrissetteā€™s ā€œJagged Little Pill,ā€ both from the Virgin Megastore in Times Square. Though, I fondly remember the days sitting in the basement at my parents house listening to 8 Tracks of Meatloaf or my grandparentā€™s house listening to Dusty Springfield on the turntable.

Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I think Iā€™ll go queue up some of those songs right now!

Iā€™m not sure I believe most of you. Your first albums are far too cool to be realā€¦

The first music item I ever bought (or got my mother to buy for me) was the Turtle Power cassette single. link:

I brought it to primary school on the last day of the year and was the coolest kid in class. It was stolen before the end of the day.
