What was the first music album you bought?

[R_J_K75]

Yes, but A Trick of the Trail is the first Genesis album to feature Collins, given that Gabriel left.

Yeah I know. Sadly it was all down hill from there as far as their prog cred went. Wind and Wuthering is pretty bad.

First record I ever bought was AC/DC - Flick of the Switch 1983 I think.

Hard rock and heavy metal is my bother's department! The only album I own is Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. (come to think of it I also own two Joe Satriani albums.)

IMO, you can divide Genesis into the following eras:
1969-1974: The Gabriel Era; the Best Stuff
1975-1978: Ya can't do Gabriel without Gabriel; the Bad Prog Rock
1979-1986: COLLINS! MIAMI VICE! COCAINE! SPITTING IMAGE! ALL-CAPS, ALL THE TIME! WOOT!
1987 on: So, uh, do you remember those guys? They were yuge. And the Sledgehammer guy? He used to be in the band!

Looking back on the decision, it was money poorly spent. I listened to it within the last 10 years and lets just say Flick of the Switch hasnt aged too well. Number of the Beast is such a good record talking about singers taking over for another.

I think the first AC/DC album I ever bought was Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. My cousin had found it as an import in 1977 or 78 but the one I got was a lot cheaper because it had finally been released domestically in 1981. I thought I had done quite well by that in my teenage mind.

I would says their worst song is Illegal Alien with Collins singing like Speedy Gozales. Horrible idea. I skip it every time.

I had a bunch of those tapes dubbed well before I ever bought a record on my own. Blizzard of Ozz was one I remember bringing to 1st grade to play for the class.

The copious application of alcohol.
