h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Another thread made me think of this question so come on tell us your secret musical past...

Mine were:
Girls just wanna have fun - Cindi Lauper

and









The Best of Shakin' Stevens

With my own money?
Are Friends Electric, by Tubeway Army
Replicas, by Tubeway Army.

Of course, now he's cool all over again, it doesn't look as sad as it did two years ago, or even then according to most of my mates.

Single: Slade - Mamma we're all crazee now.
Album: The Beatles - Abbey Road.

Single - Wall Street Shuffle - 10cc
Album - the Soundtrack to The Sound of Music

Definitely ones you bought yourself with your own money, otherwise you might try and weasel out of taking resposibility for your choices!

For example, my dad bought me a Kylie record in the mid-80's, not because I liked her but because he fancied her on the cover

k

Hmmm, album. It was this summer compilation, bought it along with my stereo.

I've always felt singles cost too much. So it was pretty late, I think it was Janet jackson with Together Again or so.

I think the single was a song called Pop Music, but I can't remember the name of the band, and try searching for "pop music" on Google...

First album I think was Dire Straits, Love Over Gold.

There may have been some kiddy stuff earlier on, but these are the ones I can remember, anyway.

erm...cough

'Please Mr. Custer'...Charlie Drake.

was the first single. First LP was

Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

alec.

Pop Music was by M

"Pop Music" was sung by a group called "M". It's just as hard to search for M as it is to search for Pop Music!

Video video
Boogie with a suitcase
Mix me a Molotov
Forget about the Ratrace
...
London Paris New York Munich
Everybody talk about
Pop Music

So it was! Thanks, that's one annoying thought off my mind.

And those lyrics are inaccurate enough not to infringe any copyright laws!

Ooo, and I think at the same time I also got another single called Puttin' on the Ritz. Can't remember who that was by either...

A strange electro version of that tune?
Much beloved of essex FM, which had just launched (in fact, we wondered if it was the only record they owned at one stage).
By Falco, I'll think you'll find.
Oh, and i'd just like to point out that fancying Kylie is good and sufficeint reason to buy her records.

Single: 'Fire' by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
Album: 'Deep Purple in Rock' by... oh, work it out for yourself

'Pop Music' was a song. I found a remix of it at work last week

Sooo, Charlie Drake was it then Alec

Single: I didn't buy many singles since I wasn't really aware that some singles contained B-Sides. I think the first one I bought was Smashing Pumpkins 'Zero' or Groove Collective's 'I Want You (She's So Heavy).'

Album: First cassette Limahl 'Don't Suppose,' First LP 'Introducing...the Beatles,' First CD some Louis Armstrong compilation.

The first CD I bought was REM's 'Out of Time', which is a damn good album and is pretty cool and nothing to be embarrassed about.



...however, the first album I ever bought was on tape. I can't remember the title of the album, but it was the Jive Bunny one. Erk.

First single - Wigwam Bam by Sweet
First Album - Man Who Sold the World by David Bowie

ahhhhh...I love the smell of glam rock make -up in the morning!!!

Never bought a single in my life.

First Album - Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
