Don't think I've ever bough a single to this day. Had nothing to play them on when young and then went straight to albums. First I bought was probably the Beetles( don't remember which)
I do remember the one my boyfriend bought . Bridge over troubled water. We've been married 37 years and the water has had it's share of trouble.
Now I'm into blues and Jazz. Got quite a collection of Sunday times CDs from the charity shop last week. Also some piano boogie, to dance to with baby granddaughter.

I heard "Silent Noon" as set by Vaughan Williams on Radio 3, & bought the album. The other side had his settings of Robert Louis Stephenson's "Songs of Travel" much I much preferred.

I didn't go to many concerts in my younger days due to family & financial constraints, but that is all changing. Hounslow has some enthusiastic musical groups & choirs. I sing with 3 choirs.

Last night we went to a "Hounslow Baroque" concert which included Monteverdi's "Beatus vir" & Rosenmuller's "Dixit Dominus." Last week we sang a Faure concert of his settings of the "Requiem" & "Canticle of Jean Racine." That included his "Dolly Suite" which you will all know & enjoy as the intro to "Listen with Mother."

Are you sitting comfortably :?: :wink: I'm not - I'm suffering from the after pain from shingles :cry: That's why I am up at this time.

 

[totsy]

ok,
first single i bought was abc..when smokey sings,
first album was shakin stevens,
first concert was culture club.... nowadays i listen to a varied mix of music :lol:

 

[chocoholic]

I think my first single was 'Sugar, Sugar' by the Archies or it might have been an Osmonds one.
First Album would probably be a David Cassidy or Osmonds one.
First concert was probably an Osmonds one or Gary Glitter.
Actually my first holiday abroad without my parents was......an Osmonds one. Do you see a pattern forming here? :lol: I was a big Osmonds fan, so went with the Osmonds fan club to the States, at the age of 16. We got to meet all the Osmonds.....in a lay-by........don't ask.......it was a highlight of my teens though.

 

[Thirsty]

1st single: Who are You? The Who.

1st album: Houses of the Holy. Led Zeppelin. Liked the cover but only one of the songs.

Concerts? I don't usually bother as they make my ears ring for days. I suppose they have to play at that volume to drown out all the screaming idiots. (Ian D is excused as his preferred concerts are unlikely to attract such a crowd.)

 

[kegstore]

1st single: Atomic by Blondie
1st album: Dare by Human League
1st concert: Dead or Alive

Too much cheese, definitely an 80s boy whose "taste" has now "developed" into everything from Dolly Parton to Marilyn Manson... :twisted:

 

[phoenix]

First record (ep) 1967 Universal Soldier, Donovan
First LP Joan Baez (it was her first, but I didn't get it until late 60s)
First Concert Brahms Requiem at Festival Hall (O level music)

 

[cugila]

First record. Green Onions by Booker T and the MG's. 1962
First Album. The Rolling Stones. 1964
First Concert. Canned Heat in Birmingham. 60's.

 

[Thirsty]

cugila, I wish I were old enough to have seen Canned Heat live. Al Wilson may well have provided the finest blues harmonica performance ever in the studio version of On the road again..

I bought a harmonica after I heard this Mountain Song from King Solomon's Mines.

 

[lilibet]

First single - cant remember. Think it was bought for me- Pink Floyds Brick in the wall

First Album- The Police -zenyata mondata (red one with triangle picture of band!) Or Kings of the Wild Frontier (Adam Ant). Would need to google the dates to check!

First Concert - Frankie goes to Hollywood. I was only just 12, went myself (sister waited outside) cause I cried so much when it was announced and they wouldnt let me go. It was the 2nd album tour.

Am huge huge music fan since I was small. This year Im going to T in the Park, CSN at Edinburgh Castle, ACDC, Depeche Mode, seen Morrissey etc etc.

Like classical too mind you. Been to few operas/concerts also.

Wont be pretentious and use the work eclectic.................. :lol:

 

[peppiB]

First single - Sweets for my Sweet, Searchers (Father was a preacher and disapproved of Beatles!)
Album - Please Please Me , Beatles (kept it hidden from Father)

Used to watch Animals in their Newcastle 'home' (Club a Gogo), saw Gerry & Pacemakers, Fortunes, Roy Orbison, Del Shannon and many other in the nightclubs of the day. Only 'Mega' concert I have been to was Queen

 

[philg]

First single - Eddie Calvert Oh Mein Papa about 1954 on 78rpm
First LP - Probably Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Concert about 1957.
First concert - Louis Armstrong in Germany about 1961

Dates are approx as memory began to fade after Isle Of Wight Festival 1970 (The Hendrix one) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Trinkwasser]

I'm too old to remember!

And even if I did you may not have heard of them. I knew lots of people (including musicians) who had most of the mainstream records between them so I concentrated on the obscure stuff, especially jazz.

Chris McGregor's Brotherhood Of Breath anyone?

Or how about Keith Tippett's Centipede (a fifty+ piece band with three drummers) playing at the Rainbow Finsbury Park with Joe's Lights.

I still remember when John Coltrane was alive though I never got to see him play.

<sigh> I know more dead musicians than live ones

 

[MattyBoy]

RnB is my favourite but I also like rock / trance / 80's / Drum and Bass

 

[sixfoot]

Groovin with Mr Bloe
Green Onions Booker T
