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

[Demon]

I got into Led Zeppelin* instead of the Beatles. Beatles is girlie music.

* @Hamish Howl's favorite band.

I love Led Zeppelin too. But Beatles were first for me, and still the most loved.

From "All You Need is Love" to "I'm going to give you every inch of my love."

The first one I bought?

Blondie, Heart of Glass.

Yeah, the Beatles are really in a class by themselves.

The Beatles were a dismal boy band.

Led Zeppelin isn't even proper music. It's the English Olympic yodeling team. It is a blight on the Earth, and proof of a malevolent deity.

From "All You Need is Love" to "I'm going to give you every inch of my love."

I got into Zeppelin because of my older brother when I was about 14.
Have enjoyed them ever since.

I always liked Led Zepplin, but I found myself skipping over tracks on pls more and more and then skipping over them altogether.

I'll always have the great memory of driving along an ocean highway over the summer with Stairway to Heaven playingn n the radio with that ocean breeze blowing by.

I think I like the Beatles now more than ever.

 

[TheDoctorWasIn]

I'm of the cassettes and CDs generation, and didn't start collecting vinyl until about 20 years ago.

But back in 2006, I did buy original pressings of Mutiny and The Bad Seed EPs by The Birthday Party, and those were both 45s.

 

[Allan]

Party music in my teens was Zeppelin, The Who and Nazareth.

Those albums were cycled through until everyone passed out.

 

[TheDoctorWasIn]

Dear God.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.

I used to sing that at karaoke, when I wanted to kill the room.

 

[SenorXm/Sirius]

Definitely a Beatles song... Not 100% sure which song... Might have been Hard Days Night..

I do remember buying Daydream Believer
.. Monkeys... Had to wait a while though.
That 45 sold out in hours after it was released..

Hearing the Beatles "Nowhere Man" on the radio may be first time I was shown that life can be complicated.

I thought Country Roads was the required karaoke offering.

The first time I ever got high we were sitting in a (parked) car, and it was snowing big wet flakes. I was just watching them hit the windshield and listening to Whole Lotta Love, with that music going back and forth between speakers. I will never forget that night - it was a very good time. So that's my favorite Led Zeppelin song.

Terry Jacks is WHY God is malevolent.

Maybe if you live in West Virginia.

"Spirit in the Sky" is my usual go-to.

Not sure I could name you a single band that I could honestly say I like every single one of their songs.
I grew up really into the Beatles, Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, The Who, CCR, and others and I can't say I ever liked all the songs they came out with.

Dancing Queen.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Deep Purple - Smoke on the water

I ultimately owned that one on eight track.

 

[Demon]

Dancing Queen.

Oh, I would love to see that.

 

[MAGAnificent]

Mine was The Beatles....probably Meet The Beatles?

I still have Beatles records on 33 1/2. Nothing to play them on.

Those albums were cycled through until everyone passed out.

Our parties had a wide variety of favorites (the boozers wanting the Stones and the Who, the trippers wanting King Crimson and Procol Harum) but then along came The Allman Brothers Live at the Filmore and a consensus was reached.
