What was the first album you ever owned? Would you still listen to it now?

[IAcceptCookies]

I was reminded of my first album recently, so had a listen on Spotify... interesting experience! Some of it was exciting and great, some utter crap. It was - going all the way back to 1981- Kings of the Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants. I was 12.

What was your first album, and do you still like it?

Wham! Make it Big. I still listen every now and then. 'Like a baby' will always be on my favourites play list 😍

1981 Dare - The Human League. And yes I would still listen to it now!

Abba Arrival. Still absolutely love it.

The first " Now that's what I call music" album. I played it over and over. Yes, I'd listen to it. In fact I'm going to search for it now...

London calling - the clash
still listen regularly and still amongst the best album covers of all time

Same as the op, Kings of the Wild Frontier. I still listen to it, and Adam Ant was an influence for bands I later discovered too.

Others of a similar vintage - Blondie - Parallel Lines, Abbe - Voulez Vous. But we had those on cassette in the car. Dare was on vinyl. I think Rio was probably my second vinyl album (still listen to that, too).

Abba. Not Abbe. FFS to my typing.

Snap!!

Same but the LP. I have some of the tracks on my current play list. I loved him.

Blondie - Parallel Lines (1978)
I still have it, and still listen to it sometimes. Though my musical taste has changed quite a lot I still like it and enjoy the memories it evokes.

I bought BWitched and Billie Piper albums on the same day. Still love BWitched but never really a Billie fan, just bought it because I could 😄

Prior to that, Spice Girls’ first album on cassette and a Disco Divas CD and an amazing compilation of hits from the Sun magazine (the only time my parents would have ever bought the Sun 😄) were played and danced to constantly. But my parents bought those.

Mine was Beatles for Sale, from Dec 1964. It was in my Christmas list (I was 13)
I don’t have a record player but definitely would still listen to it!

Sugarbabes - overloaded (the singles collection)

When I was seven I begged for, and was given, an album called Echoes of Gold, which, I think, was covers of popular music played on the flute by James Galway. I’d rather eat my own boiled eyeballs than listen to it now.
I was a strange child.

Bananarama, WOW! It had 'love in the first degree' on it. 'I want you back' , 'I can't help it' and their cover of 'Nathan Jones' great album... Off to Spotify now to download

Cherish, David Cassidy. I still listen to it now cos I bought the CD lol.
First single I bought was the New Seekers, I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing ! No idea why !!

Trilogy by ELP. Still think it's a great album but am mystified as to why I loved the track 'Hoedown' quite so much.

Snap @Wherearemymarbles! Still listen to it regularly and it never becomes tiresome.
I think I bought Sioxsie & The Banshees 'Join Hands' at the same time and that gets a regular play too

I think it was Once Upon A Time by Simple Minds. Some cracking tracks like All The Things She Said. I would still listen to it although I much prefer their earlier, weirder stuff.

Britney - Oops I did it again album. Still listen to it in the car

Ha! I was given that as a Christmas present 😄. Also Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated 🙈

First album I bought myself was Bowie's Hunky Dory 😍😍😍

Craig David - Born to Do It, and I absolutely would still listen to it now. Absolute brilliance.

I LOVED that, although it is inextricably linked, for me, with the game 'Worms World Party' because I listened to it so much while I played.

And that album is genius! Nightswimming is ❤️
