MUSIC/LIFE MILESTONES, hazily remembered...

1996:
First album bought on its day of release:
Sleeper: The It Girl (6th May, 1996)

First "adult" single bought:
The Bluetones: Slight Return

1995:
First album bought on CD
Garbage: Garbage

1994:
First "adult" album(s) bought
Blur: Parklife
Metallica: Metallica
Oasis: Definitely Maybe

all bought together on tape in Heathrow ahead of a flight: a conscious move to "get into music" as a teenager.

1992:
First childhood album bought
The Shamen: Boss Drum

mostly because 12 year old me (very innocently) liked Ebeneezer Goode...

1990:
First childhood single(s) bought
Partners in Kryme: Turtle Power
Vanilla Ice: Ice Ice Baby
The Simpsons: Do The Bartman

can't quite remember which came first, although chronologically Turtle Power was released first, then Ice Ice Baby, then Do The Bartman... i didn't necessarily buy them in this order though.
