First album I ever bought was the Spice Girls’ debut album on cassette. I went halves with my mum.

First single was The Hamster Song, which went a little something....like this;



No regrets.

The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde - Georgie Fame


My first album was Gilbert O’Sullivans first one, my second was Master of Reality - Black Sabbath. A wide and varied taste.

Apart from the Bart Man incident I used to have some okay taste in music, although it wasn't recognised by my peers. At age 11 I was into Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, Elvis, Johnny Cash and Alice Cooper amongst others Arguably these are well regarded now but at the time I was royally mocked, especially for Springsteen as he was right in the middle of his 80's/early 90's period and people had forgotten great albums like Thunder Road and my personal favourite Darkness On The Edge Of Town.
I will concede Alice Cooper though, that was quite bad.

I bought this and used to play it even though it warped somehow. If you listen to it, just imagine how it would've sounded warped. :moo:

I'm still embarrassed that my first single was 'Ernie the Fastest Milkman' by Benny Hill. Used to leave the arm off the record player so it would play again and again and.............. Ok I was only 10.

Same, but managed to double it up with My ding a ling by Chuck Berry.
