Yes!!! I forgot about the letters. You're right--double letters and you were doomed.

andreas_l are you sure you're not thinking of Scottish duo "The Proclaimers"?

The first music purchase I can remember making with my own money was way back in 1996 (I was 13 years old then) and it was Chicago "Greatest Hits: 1982 - 1989". Don't have that CD anymore. The oldest CD in my collection, purchase-date-wise, is Journey "Trial By Fire". My music tastes have sure changed in the last couple years, from pop-rock to electronic-industrial (or EBM, or whatever you want to call it). Back then the only way I could experience music was from the radio or from my dad's aging, but plentiful cassette collection. The Internet has sure changed my music experience. Oh yeah, 1996 was also the year I got my first CD player

aeberbach:

No, "500 miles" is on the album ZIG ZAG ('89) with the Hooters. But actually that wasn't my first CD as I come to think of it. It was Nervous Night ('85) with the same band that was. But the song I liked the most was 500 miles - guess I got a bit confused... The album with All You Zombies if you remember?

By the way.... I glad my taste has changed a bit since then...

Creedence Clearwater Revival's Pendulum on cassette (1970?).

 

[tehpressman]

first tape: Metallica - And Justice For All

Sigh... one of the worst production jobs ever, but I still like all of their older stuff.

LP: Billy Joel - Piano Man
CD: Queen - Classic Queen

I'm barely old enough to remember when CD's first came out, I was but a little kid when they were first introduced. It's surprising that I actually have records.

a TAPE: Greenday- Insomnia
CD: The smashing pumpkins box set
