"Somebody's been sleeping in my bed..."  ahhh...classic rock and roll, good stuff!!

Boogie Motel and Fool for City were two of my favorites along with KISS -Alive and AC/DC-Back in Black (the best of the best IMO)

Hey Jess, no big deal, it was the 80's!! I mean who here who was old enough to get it then, did not have Culture Club?? They were popular!!

Well, I for one have never owned a Culture Club album/cd/cassette or anything else that had music on it from them. I was never much for pop music of any kind, then or now.

Well, I would have been about 10 years old when they came out, so the only thing I was really exposed to was Pop music on the radio.  I'd like to think that since then my tastes have changed!

My first album was Quiet Riots, Come Feel the Noise.  At least, I think that was the title, it's been so long ago. 

[DSJ™]

Oh boy, first album. I reallly can't remember which one it was. It was a Beatles album, may have been the Magical Mystery Tour or Yellow Submarine. 

[SPIDERLEGS]

My first album was Quiet Riots, Come Feel the Noise.  At least, I think that was the title, it's been so long ago. 

It was entitled "Metal Health".

[Xander]

Yep, I remember.



I also remember it went very well with Atari Space Invaders after school!
