CaledonianGonzo Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Sod it. Let's have a think. First single: Pop Muzik by M First album / tape: Born to Run by yer Boss First CD: Probably a freebie off a magazine before I even had a CD player. Didn't get a CD player until, like, 1994. First gig: I think it was Ry Cooder / David Lindley at the SECC in 1989 but the internet seems to have no record of it ever happening. If not that then it was this. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bob-dylan/1989/secc-glasgow-scotland-53d75795.html What a dadrock wee fucker I was. First Now: The mighty Now 10 Edit: Actually, if I'm being pedantic it wasn't. Technically it was this: https://www.discogs.com/Various-Now-Thats-What-I-Call-Music-The-Christmas-Album/release/981303 First download: Christ knows. Possibly that final Smashing Pumpkins album that Billy Corgan pirated himself. Never listened to it.
