I think the ages of singles was long gone by the time I was interested in Music, but the first album I had bought for me was American Idiot by Green Day.

Same, age of CDs here.
First bought for me was Busted's self titled album. Phenomenal album.

Daddy Cool by Darts. As I'd just discovered rock particularly Thin Lizzy and The Stranglers that piece of vinyl ended up with boiling water poured on it in an attempt to turn it into an ash tray!

Not quite bought, but I was given Over You by Freddie & The Dreamers when my parents bought our family radiogram, by the salesman who came to deliver/fit it!

Do you know what that might have been mine, if it came out before American Idiot.

My dad bought me this when I was a kid. I thought the song was mad (in a good way).

I think my older sister by 10 years bought me 'It's a Mistery' by Toyah instead of an Easter egg.
First singles I bought myself, with WH Smith vouchers we're Killer Queen and Minuetto Allegretto by The Wombles.
I had Eclectic taste at 10 years old.

It was weird how he appealed to young kids. I was very much into his music at 9/10 years old.

Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly on a 78! I had a wind-up gramophone at the time but when I finally got a record-player which could play 45s, I smashed up all my 78's and re-bought the single on a 45! How much would it have been worth now?!
