Ear bugs

Listening to TWiT this morning on the way in to work. They were talking about the 25th anniversary of the CD, and went around the panel talking about their first CD. Naturally, this triggered me to think about my first CD, which I'm kinda embarrassed to admit was Guns and Roses' Appetite for Destruction. Coincidentally, Anna was going through my CD collection the other day, and asked me to play that CD for her. (Because she "thought it would be cool." Heh.)

With the combination of the two, now I've got Welcome to the Jungle stuck in my head, and I can't shake it.

Maybe I'll re-queue Coverville's Led Zeppelin cover story to try to drown it out... ;)

Don't feel bad. My first CD was Power Windows by Rush. I'm pretty sure mine is more embarrasing.

Mine was Manfred Mann's Blinded by the Light AND I purchased a CD player specifically because they'd released it on CD...

Eric Clapton's Unplugged for me.

You should start a meme. ;-)

Meme!

Damn... same idea! See below.

Maybe I already have. ;)

This has the makings of a good Meme... I propose:

First Record Album: Country Bear Jamboree, Disney!!!

First 8 Track Tape: Aqualung, Jethro Tull.

First cassette Tape: Chicago 16, Chicago Transit Authority.

First CD: Vivaldi's 4 Seasons, Boston Symphony Orchestra.

First MP3 (or other computer based format): This one is tough... I know I was trading and downloading Mod files for my Amiga circa 1988.. but even memory of those is now lost to me. First PC based audio use might have been Garbage's "Stupid Girl" in like 1997.

My musical tastes have changed, for one. I still like it, but I probably wouldn't buy it. That and it's so... so...
