Both Outkast albums are classics... I know it's unpopular to say around music circles nowadays, but I think their newer stuff is garbage. I just don't feel it.

Agreed. The last album I really enjoyed was Stankonia. Sheesh, that was almost 9 years ago now. Where does time go?

I can appreciate what Andre did on the Speakerbox Album (or was it "The Love Below"?) from an artistic standpoint, but I would have to agree that it is not for everyday enjoyable listening. I have to be in the mood to listen to it. With the rest of the albums the songs can come on or be played at any time and you will more tha likely bob and sing to it.

@RobH - I had that Arrested Development album on cassette (3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days in the Life Of...)...great album

@firstdown - I'm 30, and I had a 45 record player growing up (favorite record was the Muppets singing Yellow Submarine), as well as my parents' turntable that I fooled around with as a teenager, on which I played Michael Jackson, Men at Work, and Yes amongst other albums my parents had, which helped spawn my love for 80s music in college and beyond.

I can't remember my very first album, which would have been on cassette, but the first CD I bought was Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite.

The first time I bought a record I was in 2nd grade and it was The Stary Cats Built for Speed.

I think the black album was the third one I ever bought, and was of course legendary. The fourth was Weezer's Blue album, another classic. I came into music at a very good time: Nirvana, Metallica, Pearl Jam, STP, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer and Green Day were all just coming out or hitting their stride.

man that's hard to say, I think M.C. Hammer hahaha..

first cd was lynyrd skynyrd - skynyrd's innyrds or something like that, greatest hits basically.. oh wait no, it was shaq's 2nd album, had his first on tape wow.. ahha

SmootSmack · 04-09-2009, 07:41 AM

I used to have (probably still do) this Greatest Hits vinyl that I scratched to death. It had all the classics (MARRS, UTFO, Whodini, Doug E. Fresh, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane...)

Those were the days

Who here remembers Ghetto Boys, or US3?

CRedskinsRule · 04-09-2009, 07:55 AM

Billy Joel, "The Nylon Curtain". At least I am pretty sure. It may have been Styx "Mr Roboto" album.

The first CD was Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti"

SmootSmack · 04-09-2009, 08:18 AM

I was listening to Mr. Roboto on my ipod the other day...man why'd I like that song?

I am the modern man...

djnemo65 · 04-09-2009, 08:23 AM

Michael Jackson Thriller on vinyl.

dmek25 · 04-09-2009, 08:26 AM

UTFO, did they do that song, Roxanne, Roxanne?
Whodini- the freaks come out at night

Yes, Yes...and definitely yes

I liked some old school George Benson as well "Turn Your Love Around" Back then I had no idea what the song was about, "it's time the girl became a woman" I just liked the beat
