Yep. I just played Let's Dance four times--and loved every minute of it. Tell me that ain't a condemnable act. |
Rob, you're a spring chick compared to moi.
& yeah, what is it about the white album that changes lives? I was never the same, either. |
Yeeeeeah...
I love pop music. Specifically overproduced, mushy, gushy jpop. And you can rest assure there's nothing ironic about it. |
Air Supply totally rules.

When I was little I think used to listen to songs much more than albums. I can remember some of my favourite songs back from when I was 4 years old, but for albums not until I was maybe 9-10 or so.
Anyway, these 5 below must've been among the first full albums that I listened to and/or owned, although sometimes only as a copied cassette. cassette: Michael Jackson - Bad Beatles - 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 (I think, but maybe it were just some random Beatles cassettes) CD: Queen - The Miracle Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction MC Hammer - Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em edit: I do remember having lots of cassettes with stories and fairytales etc, but they don't count as albums. |

You're only 5 years older than me I think so not that much, but I guess it does make a pretty big difference music-wise. Great albums by the way! |

Well for me I remember being totally swamped by the pop culture of the 80s and I didn't like it, I remember simply hating Kylie Minogue etc even as a young kid, stuff like that just seemed really cheesy and superficial or something, so things more gritty or weird or something appealed to me. |

awesome! |
My house always had music on. The earliest albums I like I can't remember so well (apart from Jim Reeves' Bimbo - I still like it, doubt any of you schleps would). My old dear would play a whole world of country - no Johnny Cash, but plenty of Dolly, Tammy, Patsy, Hank, Nelson, Rogers and a millions compilations - and Irish... y'know, the old tapes that still live around the house and you never know who's singing but remember the song. My old man would listen to Meatloaf and 80s soft rock, which took me ages to get, but makes a bit more sense these days. My sister would play lots of gay pop (from which I get my current Erasure obsession, and also makes sense of the Industrial thing). And my brother was into the first wave of British punk (I think he still things new wave is a bit gay) and plenty of reggae. I was very, very lucky, methinks. Unlike a lot of people (and this is going to sound like a wankerish boast) I was pretty much bored of punk by the time I hit puberty.
The first records I remember buying with my own money were Menswear's Nuisance, Blur's Leisure, Echobelly's on, Gene's to see the lights and Elastica's elastica. So make of that what you will. |
So do you think our first five albums were formative somehow, shaping what we'd like to listen to, collect the rest of our lives? Any theories? Environment? Genetics? A combination of both?

Only if you're still harping on about them many, many years after you first bought them. Ok, that's the cheap dig over. I find it astonishing that so few people here have mentioned anything particularly embarassing. Either you've all got hip parents, or a fair proportion of people here are lying. |
I was given an MC Hammer CD on my birthday! I even asked for it!
Even more embarassing, I got a CD player and that was the first CD to go with it. I hadn't even asked for the CD player, just for that MC Hammer CD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rKM90L6YBE |

I said Britney Spears. Along those I also listened to blink 182. But can't remember which ones I bought/owned. But somewhere they all got involved. Also Green Day. |

My parents were very uncool, aside from the fact they didn't try to prohibit me from bringing whatever music I wanted into the house (trust me, I knew kids' parents who did that!). My parents record collection, let see--Barbara Streissand, Henry Mancini, Doc Sevrensin, more Henry Mancini, the soundtrack to West Side Story, more Henry Mancini, and oh, yes, more Henry Mancini. (by the way, I don't get what you mean by the cheap dig, but whatever.) |
My parents are also deeply uncool, but I've come to appreciate what that means. When I was an angry teenager, the fact they didn't get my music was because they didn't understand me, and I didn't get theirs because they were idiots. My opinion now is more like it doesn't matter if they don't get what I like, at least I can share a bit of what they like. Don't get me wrong, there's still a great deal of stuff they like I can't stand, but at least I can spend time in their company listening to records, which certainly beats sitting in front of the idiot box.
