What was the first music album you ever bought or owned? Do you still listen to it or have you moved on?
The Jam - Dig The New Breed.
I owned a few records before this one but this was the first I bought with my own money. I would have been about 13 years old. Funny actually because I didn't even like The Jam much but... you guessed it... a boy I liked was really into them. Some things never change, hehe. I listened to it repeatedly so I could learn all the words and impress the boy. He still didn't realise I existed after all my hard work but all was not lost as I became a huge fan of the Jam's music.
I would love to listen to this album again but it's a vinyl and my record player hasn't been working for years. Oh man, does anyone even remember vinyl? God I feel old now *giggles*
What Your Taste in Music Says About You |
 Your musical tastes are upbeat and conventional. You are an easy going, optimistic person. Family and friends are very important to you. You enjoy caring for and helping other people. You thrive in a tranquil environment, and you do your best to keep things peaceful. You enjoy your life. You have your priorities straight. |
Ahh...the generic and ubiquitous "What it says about you" bollocks.
ReplyDelete*Mr Crankypants* (who nevertheless has a valid point, because it is indeed, bollocks!).
Funny you mention vinyl's, I just purchased a vinyl for my friend's birthday this week. She is mad about CHER and her famous "Turn Back Time song. I got it off of ebay for a crazy arsed cheap price!!
ReplyDeleteI always loved playing music, and doing the girly things when I was growing up.
My Uncle had the full collection of names like The Beetles, The stones, Tina Turner, David Bowie, Human League etc..and the best thing with Vinyls was the covers, reading the covers and also, sometimes, the image of the artist was actually ON the vinyl itself, especially David Bowie and Queen and some of the Elton John ones my Uncle had.
I did that link thingiy and I got..
ReplyDeleteYour musical tastes are intense and rebellious.
You are intelligent... but in a very unconventional way.
You are curious about the world. You love doing something new.
In fact, you enjoy taking risks and doing things most people would shy away from.
You are very physical. It's likely that you're athletic, but not into team sports.
You have the soul of an artist. Beauty and harmony are important to you.
i got the same results as cazzie lol anyways, i have NO clue who the jam is, but maybe i should give it a listen. my musical taste is very eclectic. i loved buying records as a teen. i still have a couple. i have guns n' roses on vinyl. i gave it to my son, but i just took it back. then i thought, that's rude that i took it back and was going to bring it to vegas w me. only thing is, i forgot to put it back in his box of records lol i'll get it to him somehow. he also wanted my purple rain album. sorry, but i cannot part w my prince he he :)
ReplyDeleteM - God I love it when you use those big words, lmao
ReplyDeleteLater Grumpy
Cazzie and Ciara - I can't stop laughing...your comments are longer than my post. Lovin it x
In the interests of brevity, I have published my results on my blog!!! My first album was of Mario Lanza, which I swopped eventually for Jim Reeves.
ReplyDeleteDickie - Mario Lanza? Thank you sweet man...I feel young again x
ReplyDeleteThe first album I remenber buying was Sgt Pepper. I actually queued to buy it at HMV in Oxford Street the day it was released. It's a mono version and worth quite a lot now, so I no longer playit. I do however play my cd version constantly. As for the 'about you' thing, I was told I am 'intelectual to the point of being cerebral'! I am not intelectual enough to know what cerebral means and having looked it up, I'm not sure if that is a flattering comment or not!
ReplyDeleteKeith - I miss HMV, used to spend my Saturdays in there when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could ask Mutters what cerebal means, he seems to be full of it...I mean full of interestig words this evening.
Aha. Fun post. Will have to try this one. ;-)

ReplyDeleteIn my family (yes this is true) the first album you receive (always from an older sibling) is AC/DC Highway to Hell! Yes it was my first...when I was I believe 8 or 9. It started with my older brothers (they were pretty damn old when they started this) and has trickled down to my kids and theirs.
