In the age of downloading, the purchase of a CD single or album has lost it’s importance and meaning. A song is easily obtained with iTunes etc. and at most times joins a playlist of thousands and more songs, also, as a result of illegal downloads, the music business is on the decline.
As a huge music fan I definitely see the benefits of the mp3 age, but still, let’s be a little bit nostalgic and think back to the old days!
The first CD (for some people the first LP or cassette ;-D) often came with the first real pocket money and was a valued acquisition. Still, now that we are old and mature, somehow, the first CD we’ve bought, is quite often a bit embarrassing. Let’s just say that our music taste just wasn’t as refined with eleven or twelve, as it is now.
Let’s put all embarrassment behind us and collect a list of our first CDs! Comment this post and eventually we’ll have a list of the most awesome music made during the last decades!
I’m even nice enought o start the game! My first CD was the first album of German singer Xavier Naidoo. Here’s a taste:
Yes, I still like it! 🙂

Agreed with what you said! I’m a huge CD collector, I love the feeling of buying a real record, exporing the booklet and reading the tracklist! It’s just amazing! I’m not against legal download but I prefer physical copies. The first album I bought was Sunrise Avenue’s “On The Way To Wonderland”. I still listen to this albumm with nostalgia 🙂

It’s definitely different to have a real CD collection than just an iTunes playlist! Especially if artists like Linkin Park make an effort to create great album art.
