Subject: What Was The First Single You Bought ?

Written By: Gis on 03/23/06 at 9:20 am

I'd like to say the first single I bought was 'I don't like mondays' by the Boomtown Rats but that was the second single I ever bought. The first was Coward of the county by Kenny Rogers ! :-[

Share with me your cool or otherwise first listening purchase !

I think it was Don't Stop Me Now - Queen but it might also have been something far more embarassing

I'm pretty sure it was 'Rhinestone Cowboy' by Glen Campbell... :)

At least you improved, Gis...

My first was Andy Gibb's 'An Everlasting Love', then I rapidly hit the bottom of the barrel with my second purchase...

'Rasputin' by Boney M...

From a popular music perspective, the first single I ever bought was in 2002.  I really liked this song called 'Point of View' by DB Boulevard, so on a hunch, i went to HMV and there it was.  They also had another great one called 'Dove' by Moony, a female artist who was actually the voice of DB Boulevard.  Two songs I just loved alot, so I snatched up both CD singles :)

I've bought maybe 2-3 singles in my music-buying history...

Murder on the dancefloor - Sophie Ellis Bextor ( :-[
They were; Basement Jaxx - where's your head at ( :-[  :-[ )
A Garbage one, can't remember

And that's bout' it, all were bought about 2000.

In comparison, I've bought about 80 or so albums.

There is no shame in buying a Basement Jaxx single.  I own like 5 of their singles 8)

I don't usually buy singles but one I did get at a second hand store is REM's "Drive".

I think the first single I ever bought was:

The Greatest American Hero Theme Song - Believe it or Not by Joey Scarbury
or
Jack and Diane by John Cougar

I can't remember which one was first!  ;D

Not really from the singles era, but I do have a few (I think about five) CD-singles. The first one was "I'm Waking Up to Us" by Belle and Sebastian. Actually, the next two were also Belle and Sebastian... "Jonathan David" and "Legal Man." Rounding out the collection: "Stolen Car (Take Me Dancing)" by Sting and "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada. I think that's all the ones I own.

I only ever bought one single in my entire existance.

Some lame (and kinda funny) cover of a classic New Zealand 80s song.

I binned it recently.  ::)
