Elton John's Greatest Hits - as performed by King's Road. Circa 1975. I found out several years later that it wasn't actually Elton John on the album and was devastated. So that's why it was $2.99 instead of $3.99! Here's a link to another King's Road Elton cover - note how they place "King's Road" small at the bottom. Bastards!

I collected singles several years before my first album. The first was Sugar, Sugar by The Archies.

i dunno if it was the actual first, i was buying albums as early as 5 years old, i was a pop/rock music maniac - far more than as a teenager.

this is one of the early ones i remember - Guess Who Live at the Paramount

I had singles, lots of them until 1973 that I used to play on my picnic record player (who remembers those), first album I bought was Sherbet On with the Show.

Rock Me Gently was one of my favourite singles from Sherbet, as far as I am aware is the only hit they never put on an album.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

(bought it sometime in '73...still have the original vinyl, although it's in rough shape)

John Mayall's late 60's retrospective, Looking Back. There's a great version of Stormy Monday with an 18 year old Eric Clapton playing up a storm (pun intended). Peter Green is also featured on several tracks.

Michael Jackson's Thriller

One of my favorite listen's back in the day. :thumbsup

Talkin' about Looking Back - I'm going to see John Mayall play in a few weeks at the Fountain Blues Festival in San Jose on July 20th (the dude is still rockin' the blues at 79...here is John Mayall from earlier this year in Hawaii):

Bon Jovi - Crossroad, think I was like 17 or something.

Thanks for letting me know that... I'll check if he's coming to LA. I saw him on my 29th birthday at the Lone Star Cafe (now gone) in Greenwich Village... my (then) wife surprised me with the tickets.

Fresh Fruits for Rotten Vegetables by Dead Kennedys :pimp

The Police- Ghost in the Machine. I was listening to a radio show a while back (Ron and Fez on SiriusXM) and they were talking about crossroads albums, or albums you listened to for the first time as a kid that transitioned you into grown up music. For me it was definitely The Police, after hearing them as a kid I was forever changed... :thumbsup

I bought Muscle of Love

The who - tommy

1964 . . . . I know who "the boss" is . . . . he has stuff I like but I have never spent any money on anything Springsteen related.

AceOfBase - Don't turn around

man has this industry aged, look at all the 60s and 70s kids.

i hate to sound old but these youngins don't know how awesome the vinyl record store experience was- you'd lose yourself in them for hours, i'm not talking mall record stores, talking gritty old downtown record stores. when you bought a vinyl record album you felt like you had something sacred in your hands, the album art at a size worthy of art, liner notes and the smell. hated when cassettes became standard, tiny plastic crap - CD's were an improvement but nothing compares to vinyl.

my aunt and uncle owned record stores, one downtown, that place on a Saturday was jammed, filled with long haired kids and the staff were all long haired musicians and cute hippy chicks who reeked of Petroulli oil wearing those hippy blouses and no bras so when they bent over to bag the records if you were lucky you'd see some nice 20 year old tits and when you're 10 years old that one glimpse can carry you for months - um, decades, just writing this i am picturing one chick as if it was yesterday. shit, she'd be almost 60 now.

one of those long haired musicians was Neil Peart.

The 1st LP my parents had and that I remember of was John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John ... and the record player we had back then (was a combo radio and record player) was seriously massive, there's no way you can lift it up and carry it on your own

I haven't aged...it's the damn calendar that keeps changing numbers on me... :(
