Whats the first CD you ever bought

thruma · 08-23-2004, 02:07 PM

This is a spinoff of Evil Chris's thread.
He gave me the idea so he gets part credt here.

2 questions.

1. Whats the first CD you ever bought or had someone buy for you.

2. Whats the first rock band you heard during the era when Disco was dying.

For me it's as follows

1. I bought Tears for fears - Everyone wants to rule world.

At the time thast the best one I could find in the store. Almost no selection.

2. My first intro to rock was Van Halen.
The first one they did with Jamies Cryin on it.

The first CD I ever bought was Eric Clapton "Timepeices". Still have it. Picked it up with my new-fangled "Compact Disc Player" that had just hit the market in 1982. The thing was big enough to store body parts in.

Aerosmith. I had no use for the boogie-woogie-oogie crap, even when it was popular.

I guess the thing for me is I was a kid when disco was around and hadn't really heard good heavy metal rock yet. So I have a very distinct memory of hearing my first rock music. It wasn't something I grew up with from the time I was born like a lot of people.

Even better was the first time I heard a blues song. I mean old blues like Robert Johnson or Son House.

I've always been a fan of Jimi Hendrix and I still love discovery new songs of his that I 've never heard.

It was only about 2 years ago when I heard "burning the midnight lamp"
Everyone know the popular ones like purple haze but I find this other song so much better in a lot of ways.
I think Purple haze is just worn out though too. Heard it to many times now.

First CD I ever bought? Dire Straits. The one with Sultans of Swing on it.

At the end of the disco era, I was listening to Pink Floyd The Wall, Cheap Trick, and of course KISS.

Brothers in Arms is one of those good "collection" releases. Every song is good. Handy to have those (or dubs) in the car on long drives.

The funny thing is that I bought my 1st CD player, and I wanted to buy Brothers in Arms but I grabbed the wrong CD.

I've been looking at this thread for the past couple of days and for the life of me, I can't remember what the first CD I ever bought was. I think it was Motley Crue - Shout at the Devil .

My first introduction to rock was Zeppelin IV.

Don Soporno · 08-27-2004, 07:55 PM

well I got a CD Player and cd's for Christmas when I was a teenager, I got 2 Warrent and 2 Poison CD's as gifts but the first one I bought myself but it was one of these 4, INXS, Damn Yankees, Skid Row or Motley Crue

I spent alot of gift money on CD's that year so its hard to remember which was first.

Chipmunk · 08-31-2004, 12:37 PM

mmm Let's see...
The first CD I ever got was Alice Coopers "Trash" in 1989 for X-Mas!

I think I was first introduced to rock thru listening to Kiss!
