The first I bought were records. I don't know which was first, but I feel like it was the same day. It was 'The Muppet Show' soundtrack and Queen's first album, because it was the only one my brother didn't have.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first album I bought with my own money was 'A Hard Day's Night.'
The first concert I ever went to was the Bee Gees.
Island Records was the first record label to... acknowledge me. After that, quickly, Republic Records, and then Atlantic Records, Sony Records and Warner Bros. It was all the labels at once. It was absolutely insane, like, knowing that this many record labels were interested in me.
I do remember my first purchase: the Partridge Family's 'Greatest Hits.' I got it for $3.99 at a failed chain of pre-Wal-Mart-type stores called Jamesway. God, I'm old.
It probably wasn't until Nine Inch Nails played the first Lollapalooza that I actually went to a festival.
The first CD I ever bought was Gwen Stafani's first solo album. She was the light of my life when I was 8.
I remember the first vinyl I bought: 'Purple Rain,' my favorite Prince album, ever.
The first record I bought was a Carl Perkins record, because I saw him at The Festival at Sandpoint, Idaho. I loved Elvis and I found out that he wrote 'Blue Suede Shoes'... so connecting that experience of going to see him play was pretty awesome. That's when I realised I wanted to play guitar.
The first CD that I ever bought was 'Britney Spears.' It was at a 7-Eleven and I was like, 'Can I get this?' It was literally her EP and I picked it up and, of course, I fell in love with her. It was an early crush for me.
The first album that I bought was the Nirvana 'MTV Unplugged in New York' album.
