This has probably been done a bajillion times before, but i'd be interested to know everyones first album? Mine was "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" by The Small Faces at the tender age of 9, which i'm not too ashamed of.

	Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

	I'm not sure, I do remember buying The Who's It's Hard, The Police's Synchronicity II (cassettes) and Pink Floyd's Works (LP) when they first came out. I know I bought albums before that as presents, but generally I listened to my friends' and brothers' albums (maybe It's Hard was the first I bought for myself -- I'd just got a Sony Walkman as a present), but my memory is very sketchy on this.
	Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act

	Wish you were here along with 3, Genesis albums, but that was after i got into prog, i had never bought a cd before that, as i can recall. And i wasn't around in the good old days either, so.

	I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

	I have no idea. Too old. I could basically afford 45's. But first album was possibly Beatles '65. Some cool dj in Kansas gave me Beatle's Something New.

	LP: Kaleidoscope - A Tangerine Dream Cassette: 00.04 - Ekseption (This was the first of only two pre-recorded cassettes I ever bought, the other being Kraftwerk's Autobahn) CD: The Complete Mike Oldfield 2-disc compilation (i'd bought my first CD player on impulse and then realised I'd nothing to play on it, so I rushed into HMV 5 minutes before they closed for the weekend and grabbed the first thing I saw - not the wisest method for buying music) Edited by darqdean - December 02 2007 at 18:48
	What?

	Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Numbers 2 and 3 were SEBTP and DSOTM, and I got Tubular Bells and Ommadawn as Xmas and birthday presents - which (if I remember rightly) was most of my album collection aged 14 - I also had Band on the Run and Venus and Mars by Wings.

	I think I bought some early 90´s europop collection cd , didn´t know much about music then, didn´t know what I liked, had never bought a cd be4 and thought I´d give it a try. The result was utter crap.
	Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there.
