What was the first music you bought?

My first CD I bought was a John Denver one; to go with my JD vinyl collection. I'd been gifted my mom's collection. So heavy on JD,CCR,Alabama.

If that Wet Wet Wet song is the one I *think* it is, that definitely brings back a memory. My Dad heard a song by them, rushed out to buy the tape, and that was the only song on it that he liked. One of the pluses of modern music distribution for sure--I can try albums before I buy them.

It was around 1992 and it was a tape from Record Town. I think it was Nitty Gritty Dirt Band or an Alabama tape. I like my classic country, although it wasnt really classic back then. I used money from my baby sitting jobs to buy new tapes every 2 weeks.

If I remember correctly, the first CD I ever bought with my own money was Muse's Origin of Symmetry. I don't really like Muse anymore, especially with the new direction they took right around The Resistance, but I still have a soft spot for that album.

I thiiiink the first CDs I got with my own money were a couple Evanescence albums (Fallen and The Open Door)... if there was something before those I can't remember.

Oh man, Fallen was the first album I ever received as a present. I think I was...about 11? Just entering middle school, with all the angst that entails. Thinking about how much I loved those songs embarrasses me a little now.

A Paula Abdul, Forever Your Girl casette tape. I listened to that thing for over a decade and made my own dance routines to half the songs that were on it.

Oh, I was definitely a Paula Abdul fan for awhile.  Had both Forever Your Girl and Spellbound on cassette tape, but I got them both as gifts.  Own them on cd now.

I don't know what it was about her, but I loved her when I was younger! I still know the words to those songs, and they're definitely favourites of mine when we go to karaoke with friends. Especially Opposites Attract! I loved the music video for that one.

Hmmm I think it was Billy Joel's Greatest Hits on cassette (first "Adult" cassette). I had disney soundtracks and other cassettes prior but that was my first "real" music... And yes... while everyone got boy band music I got Billy Joel
