The first 45 I ever owned

Probably one of those readalong record/book sets. Cinderella I think?

1st LP

The soundtrack to Annie.

1st cassette

Got two at the same time, when I got my tonsils out right before fourth grade. Cyndi Lauper's She's So Unusual and Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA.

1st CD

Again, two at the same time. The B-52s Cosmic Thing, and Sinead O'Connor's I Do Not Want What I Have Not Got. Both of which I still own and listen to.

1st mp3 downloaded

Hmmm....not sure. I think the first thing I downloaded on iTunes after I got the iPod was "Black Jack Davey" by The White Stripes

My family firmly believed that the record was better than the cassette tape. I think I received mostly records up until I was in 7th grade -- which was pretty embarrassing, considering I was in 7th grade and hoping that Mom wouldn't get me that new INXS Kick recording on record. I even owned a few rap records, as in ... Salt n Pepa Push It, Run DMC ... and Beastie Boys.

I remember helping a friend gleefully destroy her Debbie Gibson tape way back when. :) I remember saving my allowance to buy my *first* tape in 4th grade. It was the Bangles. Or was it Wham and Duran Duran? One of those three.

I think my first CD was actually INXS X. I didn't break into CDs until ... 1991, when I was a sophomore in high school.

My parents stuck with records until last year, when my sister got them a DVD player that played CDs and they got a car with a CD player in it. My sister and I switched pretty quickly.

And I had Kick on cassette--I wish I had it on CD now, because I still think it's a great record of the area. Somewhere, I have one of those 8 foot tall door shaped posters from that too. I did love my Aussie boys. ;-)

Hehe, I sat in the 4th row during the Suicide Blonde tour and nearly caught Jon Farriss' drumstick.

I practically worked myself into hysteria at that show.

Michael Hutchence threw roses into the audience, too. It was Valentine's Day. *swoon*
