Do you remember the first album you bought? What special significance does it hold for you? What fond memories do you have of it?
For me it was Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance. I was about ready to turn 13 when the album came out. I was in middle school at the time and I remember seeing the music video for I'm Not Okay on Fuse. I begged my mom to take me to the record store so I could buy it. I would always jam that album when playing Tony Hawk's Underground. I had other albums on my Xbox. But for some reason, I would just listen to that on repeat.
[Horray for Boobies] - Bloodhound Gang
Simply for one song; Mope.
It's the first time I thought about a particular song and wanting to hear it again. But this, I hadn't really considered watching music videos or listening to the radio other than if it had to be on. I started listening to MuchMusic top 30 afterwards and getting to learn a lot of popular bands in the 90's but I missed out on a lot of bands a lot of people seemed to like.
The CD has a bunch of shitty music on it with a few (maybe 3) good songs. The more popular song being "The Bad Touch" where they run around town in shitty monkey outfits. I don't even think they have a 2nd CD but I have noticed seeing them on Viva La Bam (Featuring Bam and the late Ryan Dunn of Jackass).
I had also a similar infatuation to the song [Blue] from Eiffel 65. (Da boo de da di dah)
Generally, I find most music to be alright. I'm not hung-up on bands. I wouldn't care to see anyone live.
