Completely surprised that no one mentioned this.

The first CD I ever bought was a Dead Kennedys' live album called Mutiny on the Bay.

First album that I bought was Travelling Without Moving by Jamiroquai. I still like some of the songs but Synkronized was better all-around. My second album was the Barenaked Ladies album that dropped in like 1998.

But the actual formative stuff that I listened to I picked up from my dad, who went through an adventurous period in the 90's. The Trainspotting Soundtrack, the Basketball Diaries Soundtrack, Beck's Loser single and Odelay, and Underworld's Born Slippy single. It boggled my mind that someone would release an album with two tracks on it, let alone with slightly different versions of the one song.

My brother's first CD purchase was an AC/DC's Greatest Hits compliation. When I look back at Astrolounge and Chef Aid and compare, I have to wonder, what the fuck is wrong with me?

I am so proud of my ridiculous first music purchase.

Yeah, that's pretty damn cool.

The first album I ever had was The Best Dance Album in the World...Ever! Part 3. It had The Shamen, Reel 2 Real featuring The Mad Stuntman, 2 Unlimited, Snap!, Snow, Doop, The Grid... it was a fucking good choice, basically.

I think the first music I ever owned would be something I snagged second-hand off of one of my siblings, I am thinking Use Your Illusion or something,

then CD's it was pretty much the same thing, whatever I could get off of my brother or sister, most likely one of the first two Silverchair albums or some sampler CD from Hopeless or Nitro records with the fucking Nobodys on it or some shit

the first CD I actually would've paid cash money for was probably Running With Scissors by Weird Al or a Frenzal Rhomb album.

Honestly I'm not proud of any of that per se, but I'm certainly not ashamed, even if early Silverchair were part of the same post-grunge milieu that cranked out turds like Creed and Nickelback and Frenzal Rhomb were sub-NOFX comedy punk bullshit, there was still some social currency to be had from owning an album with a song called "Get Fucked You Fucking Fuckwit" when you are in Year 7.

Oh my shitting shit fuck. This. THIS. FOR EVER THIS. Favourite comment: "This is the result of every kid getting a trophy even though they suck the balls".

Second favourite comment: "Four blossoming careers in the food service industry".

Anyway, my first CD was Avril Lavinge, the one with Sk8r Boi on it and I regret it more than anything else in my life.

I own Songs About Jane by Maroon 5. It was a birthday gift. I don't listen to it much any more but I regret nothing.

First cd I ever bought I think was Meteora. the first cd I ever owned was Fallen by Evanescence (a gift), which is about as bad.

Ouch, dude. Are you still on good terms with the person who gave you that CD?

Haha my (male) roommate is obsessed with Evanescence. He owns all their cd's, is a regular contributor on the band forums, and the other day celebrated "World Evanescence Day" with facebook posts and blasting their music on his ipod loud enough to be heard from across the room.

First CD I ever got was Dark Side of the Moon. I liked Nickelback because I was a tween, but fuck, all I heard was the radio. Evanescence, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, all that sort of shit, but when I first heard "Breathe" it blew my fucking mind away and I ended up going into this, "Classic rock is the only true music! All modern music is the devil!" sort of mentality for about four years or so. The second was a Jimi Hendrix collection which sort of cemented this.

Heyo!

So how long have you and I been living the same life?

Between Evanescence, Nickelback, and 3 Doors Down, I'd pick Evanescence, no question.

I would enjoy one although I don't know how I'd really contribute. I rather like all the goth rock I've heard, but I don't really know anything about the genre and my experience with it is pretty limited.

Besides, I'd be forever grateful if someone could just explain to me how the fuck the world at large decided goths have no sense of humor whatsoever. The Bauhaus alone were entertaining as hell and there's no way someone could convince me bands like Christian Death came up with all of that stuff because they were navel gazing about being miserable all day. I guess the obvious answer would be a few stereotypical fans and people who jump to conclusions all the time, but I'd rather like to believe it's more nuanced than that. It bums me out when it turns out people are as dumb as I fear they might be.

The Bauhaus

No 'the', unless you're talking about the architects.

Goth music is all about theatre. Like theatre, it can be comic, tragic or both simultaneously. It bears a lot of similiarity to metal in the sense that (in my opinion) to truly appreciate both you need to be able to willingly suspend your higher critical faculties at points, and deal with the music both seriously and knowingly, though not with ironic detachment; it is critically important to engage. Ideally, you should be able to appreciate the music in a number of different ways depending on your mood and inclination. Every subculture of course attracts both poseurs, who adopt what they think are the subcultures modes of action and presentation as a gesture, and people who take the whole thing far too seriously, both of whom, in the case of goth culture, can often fit into the mopey stereotype. Not to mention, that you do get a few people who are attracted to goth culture because they are melancholic. However, central toa lot of goth music is the idea that wallowing in exaggerated melancholy and self-pity can be extremely enjoyable.

A lot of people are just in it for the boots and the hair though.

TBH Mutter is their best album.

Now I regret even more that my first CD ever was a "Best of" disc for Weird Al.

(this is excluding a CD for an unknown local band that broke up a decade ago that I bought from)
