why the hell would I know?

If I remember correctly we each got given the "Music Sounds Better With You" single for Easter or Christmas or something one year. And to this day it is still a BAMF tune.

I remember buying 'Hey!' by the Glitter Band on the Bell label for £1.49 reduced from the RRP of £1.99. It's now a rare collectors item and influenced Mark E Smith in a big way, apparently.

First Single - Truck On Tyke by T-Rex
It had its own T-Rex paper sleeve and I loved both sides. "Sitting Here I don't Care for you..." Great stuff.

First Album
The Sweet - The Sweet's Biggest Hits
I can remember arguing in the playground about who was the best - Slade or the Sweet or Mud or Gary Glitter. I loved Sweet.

First Concert
Boomtown Rats at Dundee Caird Hall in 1979.

I remember the first single I got was "Gangsta's Paradise". Absolutely loved that song when it first came out in 1995. The first full album I actually got was a Beach Boys greatest hits collection, though it contained most of their pre-1965 hits. I went to a few radio-station sponsered concerts when I was in Junior High but the first major event was I went to Bumbershoot in 2003.

FIRST GIG: (discussed in another thread) Cheap Trick

FIRST ALBUM: (bought myself, not bought for me as a gift) Prince "Purple Rain"

FIRST SINGLE: no idea. probably bought in 1989. i'd be able to say if i didn't lose this data in a hard drive crash in 2010. The first guess that comes to mind is ozzy osbourne & lita ford "close my eyes forever"

I got a lot of Beatles album for Christmas when I was 9.

But after that I started to listen to shitty bands and the first cassette tape I bought was Sunchyme by Dario G 🫢

First gig I went to was the Synchronized tour by Jamiroquai. That was great. At the age of 13 I told my mom that I will go alone and see them whatever happens. It was a Wednesday and there was school the next day and I had to travel a lot but i didn't give a s*it. It was a great concert.

FIRST SINGLE - Thank You - BoysIIMen

My father, who was very influential in my music (but also open to something new like this one) bought this for me because he knew I liked it on MTV when I was like 8 years old. He didn't like them, but I liked this song. I also got the New York single from U2 from a friend who got it in Scottland (that lame coveted import sticker). But I myself have never bought a single. Well, unless you count individual songs on itunes, but I don't.

FIRST ALBUM - Greatest Hits - Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Again my dad bought this for me when I was 10. I made this mix tape with Tom Petty and so he bought this.

FIRST GIG - U2- Elevation Tour

I don't count amateur artists (local bands nobody has heard of or cares about), so this would be the first.

I have a feeling that if I had been 10 in the early 70s, I may have started with Sweet. Good fluffy stuff...
