    I can’t be the only one who can’t parse this sentence.

    I’m sorry, can you rephrase this? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

    Can you please edit the post and clarify what you mean by “turn on”? I’m not smart enough. Thank you.

    Queen. One of their best of albums. And Michael Jackson. Dangerous and History album (which had a best of disc too).

      Also Queen here. Staying up late sitting on the floor next to the cassette player with the headphones on listening to News of the World.

    My first album was They Might Be Giants - Flood.

    What can I say, I still have great taste.

    Also nice to know my first band has had good politics since their first show was at a Sandanista rally.

    I gotta admit though, I first heard them on Tiny Toon Adventures.

    I assume you’re asking what was the first non kids music I listened to and picked out myself? Instead of listening to the Lion King sound track, my first CD was Boston’s greatest hits.

    The Macarena. I still have a cassette tape that is front to back The Macarena on repeat.

    My first album was the self titled Gorillaz. If you put it in a computer there was a game!

    I’d been listening to my older brother’s music for a while before that though - Green Day Dookie, Blink-182 Enema of the State, Weezer Blue Album, Korn Issues were all in the mix.

    The first few I remember were Third Eye Blind-semi charmed kind of life and Smashmouth - All-star (before it was in Shrek)

    Found my parents “Business as usual” - Men at work vinyl.

    Memorized “Down Under” listening with Sony DR-S5s. I always thought that’s how you were supposed to listen since the cord matched the one on the album cover.

    My parents were young so I never had kid music. I listened to their stuff. The earliest I can recall I had 45s and albums in my room: Three Dog Night, Eagles- Hotel California, Paul Simon - 50 ways to leave your lover on 45, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever. I had several Beach Boys albums, and The Bay City Rollers album whichever one had Saturday Night on it. Oh, and KISS Double Platinum.
