more specifically, the first cds you bought...do you still listen to those bands/that genre?

i was thinking about my favorites and how i first bought their cds around age 12ish...and they're still my favorite bands. it's kinda hard to believe that the music i picked as a 12 year old would be the music i'd stick with into adulthood. you'd think my tastes would have changed...

my 3 are tool (undertow), nin (the downward spiral), and foo fighters (self titled).

sorry if this has been done before, i searched, didn't find anything.

And No.

i remember attempting to purchase naughty by nature's 19 naughty III, and being turned down.

it was the first cd i tried to buy with a parental advisory sticker, and it rocked my world

of course i was 9.

I had other cds, but that was the first i remember purchasing (or attempting)

prlly b/c it left a mark.

also, im kinda happy that that, kriss kross, and salt n' peppa arent still my favorite bands.

i forget why, but for some reason (probably my birthday?) my dad took me to the store and told me i could get anything. i got a discman and these two cds.

i do not still listen to them.

3/17/2008 10:39:37 AM

The first CDs that i owned were Deftones - Adrenaline, Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream, Nirvana - Nevermind...i took the 2nd two from my dad though

-the deftones were my favorite band from 6th grade until I got into the stuff I listen to now while in HS, but I do not listen to them that often now

-Havent listened to Nevermind in a long time, but I can enjoy a song or two from it now and then

-Siamese Dream would be the one that stands the test of time and is still one of my favorite albums ever.

3/17/2008 10:49:44 AM

The first tape I ever bought was Pearl Jam - Ten and the first CD I bought was Aerosmtih - Big Ones. I have since drastically chanced what I listen to but back then I just listed to whatever MTV had on. Thank God for the internet.

i bought dave matthews "under the table and dreaming" (and no, i don't still listen to that) and then not too long after that bought "mellon collie and the infinite sadness" (and i still listen to certain songs from that)

i was a little late to buying cd's for myself because my older brother bought good stuff already and sharing a room with him at the time, i listened to pretty much whatever he listened to.

3/17/2008 9:11:06 PM

I still listen to a little old school Metallica every now and then.

3/17/2008 9:11:24 PM

can't remember if it was the first, but was definitely one of the first tapes i bought...


and i'll still rock some bush every now and then, but it's not a top choice of mine.
