What was the title of the first 45 rpm record you bought?

Watched an interview with Robert Plant a few years back with Dan Rather.
Rather asked him why Zeppelin never did a reunion tour like so many of the big 70s band did.
And Plant told him they had promoters offering them ungodly amounts of money to do it.
Plant said, speaking for himself, that he could not now sing the songs the same way he did when he was 20 years old and for him he felt that would be cheating fans and dishonoring the music so he declined.
Guess I have to give him some credit for passing on the money.

When I worked in the record shop in a west Wales town in the early 80's the owner said Robert Plant had occasionally been in and seemed a nice guy. Bron Yr Aur's about 20 miles up the way.
 
I cant recall my first 45. maybe some Top 40 song. I think my first LP was a Simon and Garfunkel ( mid 60's)

I didn't love Sonny & Cher. I liked the Bee Gees when they weren't disco. I had to look up The Fireballs because I couldn't remember their song, but I did love the rest of them. I haven't heard Funky Broadway in decades!

Edited to add: and now I can't stop hearing Funky Broadway!

Oh yeah, we bought them strictly for the r&b stuff Atlantic weaseled Stax Records out of.

My daughter, before ever hearing them, used to say The Beatles and Led Zeppelin were stupid - just because I liked them, I'm sure. She changed her opinions pretty rapidly.

Mine was "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers in 1966

My first single was "Where did our love go" by the Supremes, which my older sister gave me in 1964 when she bought the lp. I spent those years pouring ever her singles collection.

Got my mom to buy me a copy of "Like a Rolling Stone" in '65.

Ruby Tuesday by the Stones. As an aside, I saw Johnny Rivers live at a small venue in Florida a few years ago, awesome show, he really interacts with the audience.

I wish my daughter had been so easy. She was doing the whole 'I can't like it if my parents like it' thing. I remind her of it every now and then (not often) just to see her laugh at how silly she had been.

One poster embarrassingly saud "I'm a Believer" by the Mokees (written by Neil Diamong btw) and then deleted it.

With "Seasons of the Sun" mentioned twice, I was going to say he's on pretty safe ground.

I remember having arguments in school over which was the better band, the Beatles or the Monkees. I fought for the Beatles, but there were a few lunkheads insisting it was the Monkees. They may be burning in hell as we speak. /s

Pretty much. I think she introduced me to Nirvana.

Went to a Breaking Benjamin concert with my son in Broomfield, CO a few years ago.
I enjoyed it, they put on a good show.
It was funny though they took a short break, about 5 minutes, about every 3rd song.
After the second break the lead singer grabbed the mic and apologized for the breaks but he said we're obvious not use to the altitude here and nobody told us that at altitude you dehydrate quickly.
So during the breaks they were at the back of the stage chugging bottles of water and sucking on the O2 tanks.

I've heard of oxygen tanks at Red Rocks. I took my daughter up there many many years ago to see somebody she liked - I think there was something to do with 'penny' in their name but I can't really remember who they were.

Red Rocks is a great place to experience a concert.

Strange the memories that music brings out.
When I was young, like 6 or 7, my Dad loved Nat King Cole. Use to play his music often and I came to appreciate his incredible voice.
Now when I hear one of his songs it always reminds me of my Dad.

That’s spoken as the absolute truth. I know the feeling.

Shortly before my mother passed away, I downloaded from iTunes the Greatest Hits album by Sergio Mendes & Brasil ‘66. For some reason, I remember my parents at their best together during that period of time. They were still young, sophisticated in the way they dressed, and they liked to party. I’ve always said that no woman could make smoking look sexy like my mother. Playing that album as they did gives me good memories.
 
Dont remember the albums but it was Chicago, Kansas, and REO Speedwagon

Store had a 3 for 1 special and i took advantage

Wanted the Moody Blues also, but couldnt afford it that week
