Willkoman Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 This was a thread a few years back...I simply can't remember any more. Depends on what you call real. Did we have to buy the album ourselves? The first two I remember buying myself were The Best of Buffalo Springfield and Three Dog Night's first album. LouieB I wore that Springfeild album out. Actually it was an 8-Track in my '74 Camaro . My first ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm pretty jealous of all of you who grew up in the 70s. First cd: Alice in ChainsFirst concert: Marilyn Manson (Which is so embarrasing now but I really loved it and really enjoyed myself. I was 13 or 14.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kathyp Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 First full-length album I bought was either Culture Club's Color By Numbers or Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual. My mom had a subscription to Columbia House and let me pick two out of the first 10 or 12 you get for a penny. First concert was the Monkees reunion tour. Weird Al opened.

awatt Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 1st album--Elton John, Caribou1st concert--Paul McCartney and Wings in 1972 or thereabouts at the fabulous forum with a friend and his dad, a hot-shot Hollywood lawyer. I wasn't sure of the smell permeating the forum, but grew to like it quickly... The 70s were fine, until disco came and ruined everything for a while, but luckily punk saved the scene.

brokendowntele Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I can't recall the first album, as I am sure that it was a children's record of some kind, my guess would be a narrated Peter and the Wolf with the Tchaikovsky behind it. My parents took me to a lot of fiddler's festivals and things like that in the early 70's. My first "real" record was a 45 of Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the Light", and my first concert was The Motels in 1983 or 84. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 My first concert was this kid country band, Riders in the Sky, I saw them in Wheeling when I was like four or five. The first CD I got was the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour when I was about twelve. It was all music all the time really from there on out. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
