What Was The First Album You Bought?

[Donger]

Yes, album. If you young pups want to list the first CD/iTune/whatever, you bought first, I suppose that's okay.

I'll go first: the soundtrack to Escape From New York. Awesome.

[Reaper16]

I think it was a Queen greatest hits album.

I used to stop by the Taco Via' for lunch whenever I bought albums from either of those stores. God, I loved that little joint.

I was there last summer as a matter of fact. I recognized that gal with the curly hair and my brother was there with me and I said to my brother, "Uhhh, Bob...I think that's the same gal who used to work here when we were kids." He didn't believe me, so we asked her, and sure enough, that gal had been working at the Taco Via' since it opened in the early 70's!!! We were floored.

There was a Streetside at 95th and Antioch? I'm sure you guys are right, I just can't picture it or remember it for some reason.

I definitely remember the Westport location because the manager was a redheaded hottie that I used to hang out with back in the day.

not as embarrassing as 'significant other' by limp bizkit. 'nookie' was a hUUUUUUUGe radio hit, and nobody in middle america knew fred durst was a grade-a assclown. I had loved 'three dollar bill, y'all' by limp, and in honesty, s.o. was a decent album. however, I prefer my second album MUCH more these days (it's lasted the test of time)... korn, self-titled debut.

I bought my first album at Tigers. One of the last great mafia hits in KC.

No it was on Metcalf across the street from that Kmart on the hill. It was still there when I was in KC back in Sep but it's under a different name.

I went to that concert at Arrowhead, in 77, lots of people there. I was there to see Steve Miller Band though.

Oh, my first album was the first Black Sabbath one. I bought quite a few 45s prior to dropping the $$ on an album.

Yes, Streetside had a few of them actually. There was even a Streetside Records about 90th and Metcalf, where the old Glenwood Theater used to be. And I think they even had a store in Lawrence at one time.

That Douchelord charmed a lot of people.

One of my neighbors at the time filmed a documentary on them the year before their massive breakout record (Hot Dog whatever) and it made me sick to watch him then.

Dane being Dane, I told her I thought he was a dickless Douchetard but her being a chick, she disagreed.

Dane - 1

Dumb Chick - 0

They had one at the Metcalf location AND at 95th & Antioch.

Oh, well that's long after I left KC.

When I left in '93, OP was much different than it is today.

7th Heaven used to be a great place as well.

Add Recycled Sounds to your next stop on Main in Westport if you're back this way again. Tons of selections and hard to find stuff. I always like to spend an hour going through the store if I'm down that way.

Man, I still can't place it.

It wasn't by the K-Mart and it wasn't in Metcalf South Mall, right? Was it in the same strip as Venture at the time (where Jack Stack is located) or across the street where the Macaroni Grill (or whatever it is now) was located?

I don't know why I can't remember it.

This was a damn good album...
