Here we have a tv game show called Rockwiz and each contestant is asked what was the first album they bought, with their own money? This, as opposed to, your great aunt Mavis buying you the best of the Bee Gees for Xmas one year because she thought all the youngsters liked them.
So I thought I'd ask other people this same question. And how old you were. It's important. It's rare for someone to still enjoy the same music they did at age 10.
For me it was a-ha's 'Scoundrel Days' on LP when I was 11. Remember those big black vinyl things? I still have that album and I still love their murder rock song 'I've Been Losing You' from it. Laugh if you must.

I have that Tears for Fears single. I was given it for Xmas by a friend when I was 13. It's a bit Beatle-esque.
BTW I love the Van Damme bunny suit photo.

But the first time I was at a store solo, and bought a CD with my own money, it was Dookie by Green Day
