 I know it dates me, but I think my first 45 RPM record was The Beatles,  I want to hold your hand. Danimal174 wrote:


First cassette tape - Duran Duran, "Decade", I think, but I can't remember if it was that one or another one by them

First CD - "Little Earthquakes" by Tori Amos, in college. Two of my roommates both had a pretty large collection of CDs, so I'd usually just listen to theirs and only buy one that they didn't own. I've since added quite a bit to my collection (around 2,000 CDs now), mainly from working at a local music store for five years.

Seems like all the Cure fans don't care for this.  Funny, this is one of the few Cure songs I really like.  Oh, wait!  Maybe that makes sense after all.

Edit:  And the RIPPING horn solos!  Verrrrrry schweet!

Because that's what a band is; a little of this, a little of that.

That's the extent of my wisdom for today.

I might be liberal with my 10s, but this song is just the best right now.  Infusing me with good energy!  Thanks Bill & Rebecca. : )

Nice mix this morning — but I REALLY must stop dancing in the kitchen and get on with my day.

Actually I'm going to change my 8 to a 9.  Can I do that?

somewhere along the line I gave this a 9. it's a week 9 but I can't bring myself to give it an 8 so it stays.
and my first album was Aldo Nova in 82. Then later I think I got Planet P Project, the whole Kate Bush library(Hounds had just come out and I finally had money), and several Pink Floyds as cassettes all about the same time
 


Aldo Nova!

OMG! I never heard it before, but you're right. It's Maneater.
