I love Broken Social Scene.. And Blondie! :)

The first cassette tape I bought, on my own, was Def Leppard, Hysteria.

Most recent purchases were Bo Diddley's Greatest Hits and Emily Hope Price's debut album. She is an amazing cellist and her single "Charlie" is one of the best songs I have ever heard.

My first music purchase with my own money was Duran Duran Rio. I think I was eight years old.

My most recent purchases (made all in the same evening) are Social Distortion's latest Hard Time and Nursery Rhymes, Wanda Jackson's new album The Party Ain't Over, and Addie Brownlee's EP East of Leaving. I'm particularly impressed with how Wanda Jackson's growling energetic voice has held up over the years.

I love Michael Doucet & Beau Soleil!

I think my first album was The Monkees :o

Last CD bought - Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal

I will have to think about the first one I purchased...:o

Most recent purchase: The Who-Live at Leeds :cool:

Catrin, I loved the music from Hair. My parents took me to see it for my 17th birthday.
Years later, I went to see it again, with my DH, maybe in 1988 or 89? It seemed silly, and the nudity sort of having nothing to do with the plot.
Of course, when it first came out, I was a little hippie.

:) The music was great, though I never got to see the musical. My mother thinks that there is still something of the hippie in me, but she never did know quite what to think of her odd eldest :D

I remember watching the Monkees every Saturday on tv, and loved Casey Kassum. Back to work now, and currently listening to TransSiberan Orchestra as I work (Night Castle).

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" on cassette tape! That is still a really good album. :)

Ha, that was my first CD purchase! My kids (ages 2.5 and newborn) "bought" it for DH, for Father's Day. It still is a good one.

The first album I bought with my very own money was "The Bay City Rollers" ha ha ha!

My latest purchase was "Neil Young Live at Massey Hall".

First record I bought was the Footloose soundtrack.

Most recent was The National's "High Violet."

My first purchase was Styx's "Pieces of eight" and the most recent was Allison Moorer's "Crow".

First purchase: Grease soundtrack on vinyl :rolleyes:

Latest purchase: Live at the Troubadour, Carol King & James Taylor, on iTunes. That doesn't include the numerous free iTunes and Amazon downloads to fill up the Sony MP3 with jogging tunes.
