[habernac]

My first album, sadly, was K-Tel's Hit Machine. Included classics like disco duck. My second was Kiss Destroyer.

first concert was Kiss as well, their '85 tour with no makeup. Worst show I've ever been to. The sound was terrible. Thankfully, I saw Motley Crue and AC/DC soon after. I was worried after the first one that all concerts were that bad.

First crush would definitely be Nancy Wilson from Heart. they do a great live show as well (saw them in '87)

Oh, had to edit to show the track list for this gem. some 70's music is so horrible:

01 - (Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty - K.C. & The Sunshine Band (1976)
02 - Right Back Where We Started From - Maxine Nightingale (1975)
03 - Moonlight Feels Right - Starbuck (1975)
04 - Summer - War (1976)
05 - When Will I Be Loved - Linda Ronstadt (1974)
06 - Happy Days - Pratt & McClain (1976)
07 - Our Day Will Come - Frankie Valli (1975)

What was the first Album that you bought with your own money? Big Wreck - In Memory Of...

What was the first concert that you attended that you bought tickets for? Matthew Good - 2003 Calgary Stampede

Who was your first musical crush? Edwin (from I Mother Earth)

[Itse]

I don't actually remember the first album I bought with my "own" money (however you define that), but I do remember the first two albums I made a real conscious decision that I wanted. Got my dad to buy them for me at the same time.

First albums: 1) Ismo Alanko, and his at-the-time somewhat groundbreaking (at least here in Finland) electro-rock album Jäätyneitä Lauluja. 2) was Get A Grip by Aerosmith. I still listen to the first one, Aerosmith I got rid of ages ago.

First concert: I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure the first one was another Finnish legend, CMX, at Tavastia-club in 1995. It was legendary. Their fanbase was really intense those days. Things got so packed that literally when people jumped around me, I "jumped" with them without actually doing anything with my legs. (They were still a sort of a shamanistic punk/alternative band in those days, so there was a lot of jumping involved.) Things got more sensible before there was anything close to a panic, and I guess I was too young and excited anyway to think it was anything but extremely cool. (There's actually a live-track released from that gig, "Pimeä maa", also available in Spotify for those who care. Mostly I find it funny because I currently own about half a dozen releases from gigs I've actually seen live, which I think is many, and it's not like I collect them for that reason, as I know I could get more if I wanted to. I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, something about my choice of gigs or just because I've been to a boatload of gigs. Like easily in three digits, if you count festivals.)

First musical crush: I'm not sure I've ever really had one, but maybe Madonna. Or Róisín Murphy

lol that was my first album too. I think I was in grade 4 or something - my mom ended up taking it away when she heard the song with the lyrics "you're gonna burn in hell".

LOL, first off that was the best song on that entire album. A lot of people associate TS with bubble gum metal, they had some pretty dark stuff too.

Secondly, I remember a similar reaction from my mom when she heard it.

2003 version of the song... awesome.

[troutman]

Eagles - Hotel California - possibly could have also been Supertramp - Breakfast In America, or Kiss - Love Gun (I don't count the 8-tracks mom used to get me from Columbia House)

Rush - Signals Tour

Blondie - Olivia Newton John

Continued from my first post in this thread...

Love this latest version of "School" from Roger Hodgson of "Supertramp" fame. Plus a few others'

[Displaced Flames fan]

Nice stuff Dion.

I contend that Supertramp is the most underappreciated classic rock band of all time. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Breakfast in America is in my top 5 albums ever made. I never skip anything on it.

[gargamel]

First Album: Mad Cobra - Hard to Wet, Easy to Dry
First Concert: Buju Banton
First Musical Crush: Mariah Carey (the early 90's version)

I'm pretty certain I bought the Counting Crows and Sheryl Crow debut albums with my own funds. Guess I had a thing for crowes.

My first concernt was great. Edgefest in 1997 (I think), headlined by Green Day and Foo Fighters. Also had Big Wreck, Our Lady Peace, Econoline Crush, Hole (saw Courtney Loves boobs, and at the time that was a big deal) and a few others. I knew Billie Joe brought up a kid onstage to play guitar for a song and I was trying my hardest to be that kid but it didn't happen.

First musical crush was probably Madonna, even though I knew was like 100 years older than me. The trashy and naughty vibe is obviously what attracted me to her.

[Shin Pad]

First albums: (I bought my first 3 albums at the same time): Beatles 1962 - 1966, America (1st album) and Neil Young - After the Gold Rush.
First Concert - can't remember for sure, but I think it was Led Zepplin in Vancouver.
First Musical Crush - Diana Ross of the Supremes
