What was the first record you bought?  

I got that one too. Used to really like Bon Jovi. Thanks for your response!

I think I still have that one somewhere. Thanks for your response.

I remember my first stereo too - thought it was the most amazing thing! I love "Use Me" as well but I'm a fan of Bill Withers in general - love his voice. Amongst other things I do I'm also a record dealer (and occasional collector) so I still have most of my old vinyl although have a lot of it on CD as well now. Just can't beat the sound from a vinyl record (scratches included!)

By the way - great choice of track on your profile. Midnight Rambler is one of my favourite Stones tracks.

That's a Stones one I don't have - maybe not released in the UK. The big problem with tapes was they were too easily damaged - I still have quite a lot of my old ones but I suspect if I tried to play any of them now they would jam up the machine. Give me vinyl anyday! Thanks for your response.

I'm glad you enjoyed the music - that's a really good site for creating playlists and it's easy to use.

Yes Stiletto, you have really good taste :)

Yes, in fact.... I didn't know it before, so thank you very much

LOL I bought "Spaceman" too. It sounded really cool on the Levis advert and then when you actually heard the song it was a bit of a let down to say the least!

I saw a couple of them being interviewed on tv a few days ago. It seemed quite strange because they looked so grown up lol!

Wow Woodpigeon - you have a reputation of 100! You're the first person I've seen that has the perfect 10! I try really hard not to get sucked into the whole star thing but I'm a naturally competitive person so I just want to get to a 100/100 just for the sake of it. I'm so jealous now lol. Anyway I'm rambling ...

Although I'm not a big Pink Floyd fan I have that one too but it's a bit more commercial than some of their other stuff I suppose.

LOL the one with the man, the woman and the dog? Aww she probably thought it was quite sweet that you didn't "get it". Not heard much of the Scorpions although I saw the Michael Schenker Group a couple of times as a support band - once for Whitesnake and I think the other time they were supporting Dio. They were pretty good.

Michael, himself started off with his brother, Rudolf, & Klaus Meine, the lead singer in the Scorpions on their first album. During the support tour for UFO, UFO's guitarist did not make it, & Michael filled in, & ended up leaving the Scorpions to join UFO. In the meantime, the Scorpions got Ulrich Roth to replace Michael, who was later on replaced by Matthias Jabbs around 1978 or 1979. Also at that same time, Michael was recovering from alcoholism, & filled in here & there when Ulrich Roth left & started his own solo career as Uli Jon Roth. Michael then started his own thing, & Matthias became a permanent replacement.

Yup, you are correct about the album cover. At that time, my mind was not quite that corrupt yet.

Oh - I also forgot to mention ... Dio & Whitesnake both have their connections with the original band, Deep Purple. Dio got famous when he became Rainbow's lead singer, formed by Richie Blackmore & Roger Glover, who left Deep Purple to start Rainbow. Whitesnake's lead singer, David Coverdale, replaced ian Gillan in Deep Purple before Whitesnake was formed.

Wow you certainly know your stuff! I have to say although I think David Coverdale has a great voice I really, really don't like him. I saw him with Whitesnake a couple of times and he can certainly sing but to look at and hear him talking is a different thing altogether. He is a tube! (that's a Scottish term - the closest equivalent is idiot and somehow that just doesn't go nearly far enough!)
