Was chatting to a friend t'other day (as you do) and somehow this topic came up in conversation. If anyone cares to share, don't pretend that the first single you bought was TVOD/Warm Leatherette by The Normal - be proud to see how far you've come... for example...
FIRST SINGLE - Uptown Girl - BILLY JOEL (1983)
I can pinpoint the exact moment I fell in love with this. It was on the way to Tenby in my parents' Ford Granada with a caravan bolted on the back when it came on the radio.
FIRST ALBUM - Go West - GO WEST (1985)
I loved the video for "We Close Our Eyes" - a classic case of the music video selling the record to me. Artist's dolls and men in vests could not stop me listening to this every day for about 2 years.
FIRST GIG - The La's, Brighton (1994)
Shambolic but beautiful, the La's had briefly reformed (minus Cast-off John Power) and played a series of gigs to celebrate. I loved their self-titled LP, so went along with a spotty boy called Jerome and a girl called Susan I had a major crush on. Lee Mavers was swearing at the band throughout. _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG

Of her mystery
And crashing through the walls
Of dying history
Hm... Don't think anything was bought "for me", I always listened to what we had at home. Also can't remember the first gig, but I think it might've been the Kelly Family concert in Slovenia ๐จ (with my parents)
As for the album i bought. I think it was the two albums by two slovenian rappers. One was by a rapper that I already knew about as we had his (infamous) debut at home, the second rapper I never listened to before, but I bought the whole package because it was so cheap. Anyway the first album was very good, but I only listened to the second one about six months later, and guess what... Well, look at how many albums by N'toko are on my chart. The one that I bought is my favourite and is in my top 50 (and my 2nd favourite hip hop album)
