Can still clearly remember Xmas 1979 stood in HMV with enough Xmas money for two albums - already knew one of them would be Fine Art Of Surfacing (Boomtown Rats) but couldn't decide between One Step Beyond (Madness) and The Wall (Pink Floyd) for the other one.
Eventually plumped for Camden's finest's album and 38 years and more than 50 gigs later I still see them as often as I can and whilst my musical tastes have changed and evolved - ska/Two Tone will always be my first musical love and the foundation of my tastes |

When young the only music in the car was 8 tracks of Brenda Lee and Louis Armstrong which were good for the time but found that London calling was THE album that set me off musically. |

The Jam - In the city
As a seven year old kid it just grabbed me the moment I heard the opening riff to the single , then as I grew I became a Mod and listened to Motown , 60's mod bands , northern soul , have a few albums I love that have came out after but because of that album I will always be a Mod and it's shaped the music I've listened to over the years since then |

The Stone Roses' eponymous debut album. It was like a switch was flicked in my head from the first listen. Music would never be the same after that. Music meant something after hearing that and has ultimately led me to all the music (of all difference genres) that I love today  |

Good call - although was All Mod Cons that did it for me in terms of opening my ears further - still one of my all time favourite albums |

"The first CD I bought was "Nevermind", although my music tastes span most genres.
Also, the reason that I mention my first CD is so that I can airbrush all my tapes from history..... "
I replaced many of my LP's with CD's ....... only to find that the term 'digitally remastered' should have read - 'digitally dampened'.
Vinyl sounds so much better! |

No 80's kids on here brought up on Stock, Aitken & Waterman?
Rick Astley - Whenever you need somebody, was the first album I bought as a 10yo and still love a bit of Fab Cafe in Manchester on a Saturday night for my 80's fix!
Saying that I'll listen to anything from the Beatles to Beastie Boys, Oasis to Otis Redding, Whitesnake to Wet Wet Wet. |

"My tastes are wide and of various genres but the first album I really loved and listened to over and over was
Direstrates ~ brothers in arms"
When I was a kid the dude that ran the local newsagents had that on, all the time. |

I can remember first two singles I bought on same day from Woolies - Young gifted & black, Bob & Marcia and Elloisa by Barry Ryan?
Can’t remember 1st vinyl album though - possibly Diamond Dogs.
First CD - Dream of the blue turtles Sting.
CD’s - been around for over 30 years now, must be the longest running format? |

I thought that as I hit ‘send’. Can I get away with vinyl going out of fashion but has made a comeback? I got a deck for last Xmas, all excited and got old records from loft. Novel soon wore off though |
