Hmmm... Probably Styx, The Grand Illusion.
Regarding the original Grand Funk, my eldest sister and her husband are good friends with one of the band members (I never met him, though). |

| First vinyl I got back in about 1990 was Michael Jackson's Off the wall. It was many years later before I bought anything else - I think I was 12 or so when I bought my first CD which was Nirvana's Nevermind/In Utero box set. |

Was that before or after buying the army surplus Parka and the used Vespa. |
After I got the parka, but I'm afraid I never got the scooter.......too young.......by the time I was 16 in 1985 the Mod revival was all but dead......I'd already moved on to The Smiths and the whole indie scene....
But for some strange reason, and a lot of other ex-mods will say this, even though we were mods for just a brief few years in the early 80's, it never leaves you........I'm still really attracted to the image, music and lifestyle........... |

| I think i was like 3 or 4 years old when my mom bought me the Matthew Wilder LP. You know the one with "Break my Stride" and the other minor hit "The Kid's American." Damn I wore that ish out when I was like 4 years old. Still have all those keyboard melodies and basslines in my head....Matter of fact I'm going to go to youtube and rock out with my bleepity bleep out to Matthew Wilder...HOLLA!!!! |

Either Def Leppard Hysteria or Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet. I can't remember which came first.
I might have bought a Madonna album first...I remember having her Like a Virgin single, but I am not sure if I got that first or not (though it came out first). |

Single: Glen Campbell "Wichita Lineman" (a Jimmy Webb composition), or was it "By the Time I Get to Incheon - Phoenix"
Album: Valdy Landscapes. I thought Landscapes was his family name. (Shows you how young I was.) |

Despite their mainstream success, Aqua's music is actually under rated. There lesser hits show more than adequate song craft and lyricsm. Even their cheesey numbers are bubblegummified bangn' club beats that would' ve been more than at home in late 90's Ibiza. They released a greatest hits recently with a few new tracks. One a 90s encore and one a completely competent modern pop song.
My theory is that they were actually potentially great musicians but chose to take the cash instead. |

First time I bought music, I bought 3 CDs
There is Nothing Left to Lose - Foo Fighters
So Much for the Afterglo - Everclear
Battle of Los Angeles - Rage Against the Machine
I still listen to those three albums. Probably have a few hundred (maybe over a thousand for Afterglo) plays on each. |

Agreed wholeheartedly. They're complete cheese, but the production and musicianship is spot on.
I think the first album I bought with my own money was a tape of Weird Al's "Even Worse".
La la la la la lasagna. |
