I thought Madonna "Cherish" was the weakest of all those greyscale videos.

It's true. Can you tell I have a severe case of middle child syndrome?

TommyRoss said:

We've talked about this before. Because I suffer from that affliction as well.

My lesbian sister got everything! Ready For The World albums, you name it.

My first cd I bought was


in eighth grade


but I really got into buying GOOD music at like 17 when I realized
MTV and the radio weren't even playing half of the good stuff

Well I started buying music a bit early because there was no money for an "extragant" thing like music in my house. Still I had friens that made tapes for me to listen in my walkman.

But my first real music purchase was when I went to Canada when I was 14. Those were the best holidays I had in my life. My moms family that lives there paid for my trip and I even had an allowance...best 3 months of my life.

So I bought my first 2 cassettes in my life that were:




Then I came back to Portugal, I had some money left and I used it to buy some more cassettes that were:

I can't remember my age, but I was buying a lot more 45's than albums. My allowance was pretty scant. I bought the Ebony & Ivory 45 when it was in radio play, then spent a few years blowing all my money on comics.

A few years later, I bought the 45's for:
Face The Face - Pete Townsend
Spies Like Us - Paul McCartney
Running Up that Hill - Kate Bush

...and after that, music became my main preoccupation. I'd received as gifts, a few albums along the way (Purple Rain - obviously, if you're keeping track of dates). I think I was all about the 45's because I worked in a Roller Rink...

bc

I was so damm happy with that 45 rpm on my hands.... long time ago....

I was.... 12?

My first record, Introducing the Beatles, was about 6 or 7

but I didn't start regularly buying them until 12 or 13. Before that ist was mostly birthday & christmas presents, but I bought the occasional lp & single.

Eight years old.

I had two albums (the 'Grease' soundtrack and the Jacksons' 'Destiny') and a few 7" singles before 1983, but that was when I really started buying my own records. I was in eighth grade I think. It all started with 'Thriller'.
