I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't make the switch to cd's until the early nineties. (I was a cassette kind of gal). I think my first one was Nirvana's Nevermind.

I don't remember exactly which one was my first, I think it was one of my many different copies of Dark Side of the Moon

Could somebody in a position of power please correct the title? I do realise that at this point it probably makes no difference at all, but it would make me happy.

Thank you.

Well, I did it, but I was kinda reclining on my sofa with the laptop balanced on the armrest, I don't know if that really qualifies as a position of power. I hope that's okay.

Crowded House. My sister gave it to me {the one that looks like a wooden box or something like that}. I remember being in awe that I actually had a cd.

I didn't have a cd player, but I was on my way.

Did you have to mention peanut butter???? I've been sitting here trying not to think of that jar of grape Goobers I bought....or wanting to eat some chorizo....

My first LP was Elvis, a yellow one with him on the cover in yellow...don't remember the name. First 45 was also Elvis~'Don't Cry Daddy'.

Not that you asked...

I kinda got started late with Compact disc. I remember buying my first Sony Discman with Phil Collins-Live! It was fun. Good times.

Yeah, I was late to it as well. I owned Nevermind on cassette - same went for Pearl Jam's Ten. It's funny to think that I never owned these albums in CD format. I finally begged my grandmother for a CD player as a Hanukkah gift. I still listened to cassettes on a regular basis for years afterwards, just because that was most of what I had.

Much obliged, GD.

25 years after buying my first couple CDs, I have to admit I buy very few these days. I think I have purchased as few as two all of this year. Its just so much easier (and cheaper) to download. I don't really miss the 'extras' because CDs were never as good as record albums for providing them.

flippyshark · 08-18-2007, 11:29 AM

Oh, I haven't bought a single cd this year, and maybe two over the two years previous. That's WAY down from what it was just a few years ago, when one or two a week was typical.

I admit that the 9.99 standard price at iTunes has spoiled me a bit. I just can't bring myself to plunk down 14 to 18 dollars for the same music just so I can have a plastic case and an insert. There are still a significant number of titles I can't (legally) get via download, and I do pick up and look at them the Virgin Megastore, sigh, and put them right back in the bin. (Admittedly, Virgin is notoriously overpriced. Living in Kissimmee as I do, it's the only retail location that's anything like within reasonable driving distance.)

Also, gulp, I haven't bought a single movie on DVD this year. There are tons of titles I'd like to have, but, these days, I just can't justify it.
