First single you ever bought?

I would love to be able to say it was Are Friends Electric? by Tubeway Army, but I can't. It was Bugs Bunny Sings.

It died a death quite quickly. It was just too embarassing.

I've always been a more albums person than that singles one so it's no wonder that I own a very few of them in my collection.The first and also the last single I bought myself was that Electronic's "Disappointed" one from 1992.I'm getting them mostly from my friends and relatives who are well informed about my musical taste.

It's silly to be embarrassed about the fact you were a kid once. Kids like different things from grown ups. It's quite natural.
Unless you still like the same stuff you did when you were five, like I do.

tune! We would never have had Lazyitis if it weren't for that song! Posted: 21 Nov 2003, 10:31
I can't remember the first single I ever bought, but the first song I remember thinking was very good was West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys. That is still a great record. And I still don't think they have come close to anythig that good since.

My first album I bought for my own hard earned money was Kiss: Destroyer. I'm not sure I've ever been that happy since. ...well, I have. But still.And from there, from Destroyer, it's been one long and winding road of glam, Bowie, german death metal, canadian avant-industrial music, that eventually lead to the Sisters, just in time to see them split up and form two separate Sisterhoods.

Giles Smith is quite funny on this. We all, apparently, have an 'official' answer to this (what we would have LIKED to have bought first), and a 'true' answer.
Mine aren't that far apart in artist, but they are in taste
Official: Kraftwerk, the Model
True: Kraftwerk, Tour de France.
And yes, I had a lot of Pet Shop Boys records too. I may buy the best of. The best male English pop band for twenty years, I venture?

Well, y'know, I never used to buy singles until much much later, so I'm proud as punch to say it was actually "Alice"!!! Not joking.
