1st album was "Grease"...I was 6 and LOVED the music from that movie (yes, my parents let me watch it, but let me tell you, it wasn't until I got into college and actually sat down and watched that movie again did I realize how I should NOT have been allowed to see that at the tender age of 6!!)

1st NW album....Duran Duran...Seven and the Ragged Tiger

What is up with all the Partridge Family? I don't feel embarrassed now that I purchased four of their CDs in the 90s.

It's the same, I'm sure. Funny thing is, I still have it. [:)]

I think the first LP I purchased was either Deep Purple or Jethro Tull - Aqualung. I think that I started towards new wave when BeBop Deluxe released "Modern Music".

First real new-wave album: Talking Heads '77.

I was born in '85, I've only been collecting records for about a year and a half. Having said that, I think a Duran Duran album was my first. I know I've had a Dead Or Alive 'Spin Me Right Round (Like A Record)' 45 for a long time too.

EDIT: NOW I remember what it was. A friend of mine gave me 2 Donna Summer albums as a joke. Somehow this turned into me collecting new wave albums. Thank you, Donna Summer!

I think the first LP I bought with my very own money was Kiss - Alive II.

The last piece of vinyl I bought (before switching to CD's) was Black Celebration - Depeche Mode

Prior to buying music I was buying albums of old radio shows, sound effects, and production music. I was a weird kid!

Nice, nice, and nice!!! I had seen part of the Comfort Stand but never delved too deeply into it. Now I've got 3 great new ways to kill time at work. Thanks!

My pleasure, Heck, I just find it and bookmark it for just such an occasion.
FYI: http://www.stumbleupon.com/ is pretty good for that kind of thing.

I'm not laughing. I actually bought both Hi Infidelity and Toto IV last year. Do I listen to them that often? No, but they are good to have around when I'm feeling nostalgic. As far as the first albums that I bought are concerned: The Police - Synchronicity - actually it was a casette. And the first 45 was Nena - 99 Red Balloons.
