Don't try to sound cool - Mez certainly didn't: quote: Originally posted by Mezcalhead: The first two albums I ever bought were GNR's 'Apetite' and Def Lepard's 'Hysteria'.
My first two were (truth) Pink Floyd - The Wall (third pressing) and the Top Gun Official Soundtrack Album (it was the 80's and I felt that "Highway to the Dangerzone" was extremely cutting edge). I was still two years away from the epiphany in my life that was hearing Motorhead's Orgasmatron, but my first choice proves that I was born with taste. Oh all right, I said the truth. I got the Top Gun album because I liked "Take My Breath Away" a great deal. Just think what would have happened had Judas Priest managed to get 'Hot For Love' on there? -------------------- Der der der-der DER! Der der der-der DER! DER!

coincidentally, The Wall was the first thing i ever owned on vinyl, myself. this was in the early 80s, not sure which pressing...it was pretty new at the time. i remember my second album being Purple's Perfect Strangersfirst cassette tape = Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Soul For Rock n Roll (bought around 1983) first CD = The Outer Limits, purchased in 94, i think? -------------------- www.myspace.com/mastersofpunkrock

Before I dug further into the domains of punk/metal/???,I saw a special about GBH/Youth Brigade(Goldenvoice punk booking agency)on(of all places,MTV-b4 the inevitable lameness that the channel turned into) in 1984, I bought Siouxsie and the Banshees-"The Singles" ,Black Flag-"Who's Got the 10 1/2"(best live album,ever!!!),The Cure-"Head on the Door"(all on cassettes in the olden days b4 CD). Then it was a constant fix of heavy,swirling,monstrous,psychotronic sounds(I didnt care if it was isolated Brit terror-rock or basic metal,like 'Accept'... _____________________________________________________ ..."The riff came full-pitch at my head,do you like it? I've got the brain damage...the RIPPING HEADACHES!!!"
