56. I think the first one was an REO Speedwagon album.

No, I'm not proud. It may also have been the K-Tel compilation record "High Voltage." Not proud of that one either, but I still own it.

Most recently: the second album by Great Aunt Ida, "How They Fly." Good stuff!

[Kali]

57. Yeah I think my tastes have matured a bit, think the first RECORD

I bought was either Bobby Sherman, or maybe Cher. Last I think (I don't buy much music, as I have a GREAT community radio station that I listen to almost all the time - you can too they stream at http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kxci/ppr/index.shtml - they are broadcasting live Marcia Ball from the Tucson BLues show right now) But I digress. I think the last I bought was probably some Saz music in Turkey a few years ago, although I might have picked up some Norteno in Agua Prieta since then, not sure. Last CD I recieved as a gift is this great Gypsy music from a band called Fanfare Ciocarlia.

[mvd]

59. LOL

Well, I still like Cher - but my musical palate has definitely expanded.

[Kali]

64. hmmm weird circle? It was GYPSIES tramps and thieves!

[donheld]

60. Sweet Honey In The Rock - SACRED GROUND

Is the last. The first was some odd 35 years ago and I don't have a clue what was first.

[lettre de cachet]

61. The first 45 was either

"Stomp" by The Brothers Johnson or "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste of Honey.

Latest CD was Blondie Live

[mvd]

62. Welcome to DU!

:toast:

[lettre de cachet]

63. Thanks!

My Blondie obsession still hasn't ended after all these years. From punk to pop to disco to jazz to rap to rock to reggae to country to new wave, I've loved almost everything they tried.

[enigmatic]

65. ha!

the first record I ever bought with my own money was "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John enver when it came out in 71, I think. I listened to a country station (WSLR in Akron) every night to hear the song before I bought the single and in the process got a great exposure to country music itself, which I wouldn't have otherwise. It was smack in the middle of the Countrypolitan phase, and I've always had a soft-spot for that genre of country music since..

I get sent CD's way more than I buy because of the station, so that last one I think I bought was Richmond Fontaine's "The Fitzgerald". They ar still the best band in North America..
