That being said, the first tape I ever owned was Eric Carmen. He sang that really sappy song in the 80's. I don't recall the title, but the lyrics were like...
"Turn the radio up... For that sweet sound.
Hold me close, never let me goooo...
Keep the spirit alive, etc, etc..."
Suuuuper sappy. I'm pretty ashamed of it.
Shortly after that I bought Arrested Development's first tape and Will Smith 'He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper'.
First 2 CDs I ever bought were Green Day, Dookie and Counting Crows, August and Everything After, both of which I still have and listen to. (I was a little behind the trend on the getting a CD player.)
Anyways, yeah... Because of over-controlling parents, my earliest voyages into music pretty much sucked. I like to think my taste in tunes has improved since then.
