Name the first 10 albums/records you ever bought or received

[dayton]

I'll start...
1. Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction
2. The Offspring - Can't remember album title
3. Grateful Dead - What a Long Strange Trip
4. Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa
5. Paul Simon - Negotiations and Love Songs
6. Led Zepplin - II
7. Allman Brothers - Greatest Hits
8. Phish - Billy Breathes
9. Phish - Hoist
10. Keller Williams - Buzz

Those are pretty close, if they weren't the first ones I actually bought, they were definitly the first ones I remember really digging...

When I first bought albums, they were very expensive, but inflation has taken its toll, and the value of money is certainly different.  here goes:
1 Cream- Fresh Cream
2 The Doors
3 Moody Blues- On the Threshold of a Dream
4 Jethro Tull- Benefit
5 Buffalo Springfield- Best of
6 Beatles- Yesterday and Today
7 Its a Beautiful Day
8 Spirit- Fresh Garbage
9 James Taylor
10 The Byrds- Untitled

I could stack the records and play one side, then turn over the stack and play the other side.
This does not mean I didn't hear a lot of other music, but $1.99 was a lot of money and $3.49 took too much lunch money.
Now, if you would come over and strictly listen to music, from A to Z,  "It would burn off both of your ears".

 Listening to: Anouar Brahem- Barzakh Oud, Violin, Percussion

Oh goody!

The Beatles- 8 days a Week-I think I was about 9 or 10 years old, we had a penny taped on the arm needle to keep this record from skippin we played it so much.

Hank Williams-Your Cheatin' Heart- Fell in love with him after hearing him play in a movie at the age of 9. Had to have this song on 45 no less......

Switched On Bach- I babysat for some terrific folks that had one incredable sound system when I was 13. Bach, Jazz they'd let me go divin in and just jam out and so I did. 13 years old

Phebie Snow- This woman has incredibal range and depth. Love her jazzy sound and I knew all her songs front and back. Where is she?

I actually went to high school with the boys in Mason Proffit. They were a couple years ahead of me and were the first hippies in school. They had a major influence on my country/bluegrass leanings along with my Dad forcing me to listen to Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash after he had a couple beers.
