20/21. It was the era of my 20's.

Never heard of The Pookah Makes Three for some reason.

Runcible, very impressive.

Question number 13 was the first ever 7" record I remember buying. Around about the same time I bought Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth, as I seem to remember

When people ask me what was the first record I bought I'm afraid I can't lie and make up something cool. It was Tiffanny.

I guess that's a whole new thread.

15/21 but not being British was a severe handicap!

OK - showing my age here. My 1st purchased record was Gary Glitter's 'I Love You Love Me Love'.

Anyone else for the slaughter?

(in my defence see the thread on the 1st 3 gigs you ever attended. Mine are somewhat impressive I reckon)

Sorry but mine was This ole house by Shakin Stevens, a crime yes but at least he hasn't gone on to paedophilia(at time of posting anyway) like your first records singer.

10 out of 21. I didn't have a clue with the stranger-than-fiction band names.

The first music I ever bought was Out Of Space by Prodigy. It was on tape and I should still have it somewhere. Whenever that came out was when i started really getting into tunes. That song still makes me happy!

yeah it's pretty pathetic that i was around at the time and into music but i only managed 10 as well. i mean c'mon, it was pretty shitty what they were asking. it was mostly a case of "WHO CARES?"

as for first albums, it was a 7" of Queens 'We Will Rock You' backed with 'We Are the Champions'. everytime we won a match i would come home and rock out to it.

thanks for the memory.

me.
