What was your first 2 singles and first 2 albums

Some one mentioned their first single in another thread so prompted me to start this one Ok I will Kick off

First 2 singles
America- Horse with no name
John Kongos - Tokoloshe Man 

First 2 Albums
America- America
Harry Nillson-The Point

And as a side note what would be the one album you would want if you where stranded on a Desert Island

Fro me it has to be
Led Zeppelin .... Physical Graffiti

Sorry to say that the single was probably Gary Glitter's 'Do You Want to Touch'....
hey who knew.....
Not sure about album, There was always Elvis in the house whne I was younger, andI remember getting a collection of American tunes to commemorate the their Bicentennial in 1976....God knows why, but I certainly learned some
things about the States from it...most notably that the song "My Country Tis of Thee" has the same tune as our
National Anthem.  
Aretha sang it today for Obama's inauguration, some folks tuning in in the UK must have thought the Queen
had just turned up or something.
Great speach Mr. President by the way.
 

My first single was Around and Around by Jackie Graham followed by the dreadful Agadoo *I cringe about that one*. I don't remember my first two albums exactly but I would hazard a guess at Prince Charming Adam and the Ants and Rio by Duran Duran

I think it was:
           
Antmusic - Adam & The Ants
Baggy Trousers - Madness
                    
As for albums...I can only think of one:
                
Dance Craze - Soundtrack (Ska - Specials, The Beat, Bad Manners etc)

First single was Duran Duran 'Is There Something I Should Know' and then I bought two after that together, ashamed to say one was The Rock Steady Crew and the other was Karma Chameleon I think.
My first Albums were the first 3 Duran Duran albums for my 10th Birthday but I think the first I bought myself was the Thompson Twins.

Oh and desert island album, tried to pick this many times and it changes every day but today I would say Belly's 'Star'.

The first Single I bought was 'Teenage Kicks' by the Undertones ( 50p from Woolies in Goole Ian )
I cannot remember the first album I bought as I was a great borrower of music so taped a lot of stuff . I do recall my Mum and dad giving me a copy of an Elvis album in 1977 as an Xmas present
My Desert Island Album would be quite simply : The Smiths : The Queen is Dead .

The first single that I actually bought was Stand & Deliver by Adam and the Ants - which I still have.
First album LP that I bought myself was (I think) the 'Black Hole) soundtrack, 79p from Woolies - which I still have.
Desert Island Disc - Picking just one is tough, maybe too tough but if pushed I'd have to go for 'Hall Of The Mountain Grill' by the mighty 'Hawkwind'

First albums: Human League, Dare  and The Police, Ghost in the Machine. 

First single: Vapors, Turning Japanese. 

Now, for my dessert island disc it would have to be a Marillion album - the question is which one ?  I know whichever one I picked I'd miss tracks from the others but, what the hell, let's go for "Script for a Jesters Tear" - the first is often the best :)

good thread by the way :)

First single: Vapors, Turning Japanese.

Dirty Boy...... Dirty Boy !!!!!!!!!

Well I can't remember what the first 2 singles were I got. I do remember listening to Bits and Pieces by the Dave Clark Five, over and over again. Also House of the Rising Sun by the Animals. There was also Mule Skinner Blues by the Fendermen that I listened to.
The first two albums I bought were, Fog on the Tyne - Lindisfarne and In Search of the Lost Chord - The Moody Blues.
The first CD I got was Love over Gold - Dire Straits.

My first single was the re-issue of Run To The Hills by Iron Maiden back in 2002.  I only bought it because of the extra live tracks which were taken from the 1982 Reading festival.
The first two albums I bought on CD were two by Led Zeppelin - BBC Sessions and Coda.

First single was Duran Duran 'Is There Something I Should Know'  My first Albums were the first 3 Duran Duran albums.

As we girls are a bit thin on the ground here at the moment it's good to meet a fellow Duranie  Simon was my favourite (although I'm yet to meet anyone else who didn't like John!)He took pride of place on my wall next to Lewis Collins. Husband won't let me put posters up now    

My Dad likes to tell the story about how he was there when The Animals played HOTRS for the first time live....
