Thanks Dad. 🙂

Whats the story (morning glory)
Parklife
Urban Hymes (? Maybe)
not sure of the other 2

Curiously enough mike, two of your top 3 are in my top ten.

Different generations I presume.

Yours was better.

1. Thin Lizzy – Live & Dangerous
I’d like to say I then bought London Calling, Never Mind the Bllx, or something cool.
Probably wasn’t though. Too long ago!

Deep Purple Machine Head
Hawkwind Hawkwind
Led Zeppelin The song remains the same
Deep Purple 24 Carat purple
Yes Close to the edge
……the horror, the horror 🙂

First five?

StreetSounds Electro 13
Gloria Estefan / Miami Sound Machine
Bobby Brown “Don’t be Cruel”
Bomb The Bass
Five Star

I can only remember my first 4 and I don’t know what order they were in.

Bad
Thriller
Dangerous
Bat out of Hell

I’m so cool!

Machine Gun Etiquette was first.

I can’t remember the others, but they would all have been of that ilk, as they still are today…

In no particular order (cos I can’t remember)

Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
Pink Floyd – Dark Side Of The Moon
Police – Zenyatta Mondatta
Rush – Hemispheres
Queen – Hits

Something like…

Telekon – Gary Numan
New Clear Days – The Vapors
Kings of the Wild Frontier – Adam and the Ants
Dirk Wears White Socks (proper cover, not the re-release :p) – Adam and the Ants

In no real order. I can’t recall what else around that time, I was about 8

Late sixties, still at school, living on pocket money, I used to buy sampler LPs released by various labels cheaply. It was a good way to get immersed in music as a poor schoolboy! These probably constitute my first five though its a long time ago. 🙂

Picnic – A Breath of Fresh Air, Harvest label (Floyd,Deep Purple, Kevin Ayers, Edgar Broughton Band etc)

Fill Your Head with Rock, CBS (Santana, Chicago, Flock, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter etc)

The World of John Mayall Decca sampler

Heartbeat City – The Cars
Graceland – Paul Simon
Alchemy – Dire Straits
The Unforgettable Fire – U2
Telegraph Road – Dire Straits

EDIT: Damn, forgot ‘Star Wars and Other Space Themes’ at no.1 . Cracking record..

Bought for me:
Mud – Mud Rock

T.Rex – The Slider
Gary Glitter – Glitter

Bought by me:
Iggy Pop – New Values

Hmm.

Queen- Day at the Races
Counting Crows- August and Everything After
Pulp- Different Class
Therapy?- Troublegum
Sepultura- Chaos AD

Took a bit of an unexpected swerve after the first couple. All brilliant though.

Most of my early albums were woolworths budget lps, like this one:

1. Big Dave And The Tennessee Tailgaters ?– Hits For A Truck Driving Man (I was really into Convoy)
2. Geoff Love & His Orchestra ?– Big Bond Movie Themes
3. Geoff Love And His Orchestra* ?– Big War Movie Themes
4. Bad Manners ?– Ska ‘N’ B
5. Bad Manners ?– Loonee Tunes!

There’s some really cool first albums in this thread. Sadly, mine aren’t among them (except maybe the last).

Queen’s Greatest Hits
Adam Ant – Strip
Now That’s What I Call Music 5
Salt’n’Pepa – A Salt With A Deadly Pepa
Queen – Live Killers

The only one I haven’t still got is the Jackson 5 one.
Still play the others 😀

I’m quite old…

Adam & The Ants – Kings Of The Wild Frontier
Adam & The Ants – Prince Charming
Madness – Complete Madness
Madness – The Rise & Fall
Iron Maiden – Powerslave

The Specials – The Special
Kate Bus – Kick Inside
Prince – Sign O the Times
The Cult – Love
Guns N Roses – Appetite for Destruction

Damned if I can clearly remember now, it was a long time ago! The first vinyl album I bought, was the soundtrack to A Fistful Of Dollars, the others were cassettes, possibly ELP Pictures At An Exhibition, Marvin, Welch and Farrar, ELP Tarkus…
…and for the life of me I can’t remember any more, I’m not even sure if Tarkus was one of them, but I know I had it.
I mostly used to borrow albums from mates who were into music, and knew more than me, then I used to record them using my N2202 cassette recorder, holding the microphone in front of the record player speaker! Led Zeppelin 4 was an early one.
