Cd single The Hanson brothers ā€œI will come to youā€

It was crazy popular in Sweden and they where Christians the song was about Jesus and that was about the only modern/popular music we where allowed to listen to.

Later I converted to The Offspring and bough American as the first full CD.
Still got all of The Offsprings albums on CD, they are useless but I just canā€™t throw them away.

My very first, i believe it was a cd, was Jewel- Pieces Of You. :joy::joy:. I can remember feeling like a big kid for having my very first cd, of course my mom picked it out. I listened to it until i stepped my game up to The Slim Shady LP

Back then, we didnā€™t buy songs by the ā€œoneā€! Unless it was a 45 rpm with a non-hit on side B. My first album? Grade 7, 1983, Men at Workā€™s ā€œCargoā€. My favourite song was ā€œItā€™s a Mistakeā€. Iā€™m just realizing now that based on the title alone, the song really does deserve a spot on the soundtrack of my life! :joy:

Interestingly, front man Colin Hay has put out some more acoustic, folky things in the last decade or so. His song ā€œBeautiful Worldā€ has the lyrics ā€œā€¦when youā€™ve given up the drink, and those nasty cigarettesā€¦ you leave the party early, but leave with no regretsā€¦ā€ :slightly_smiling_face:

This was well before the Walkman! I held the little cassette box up in front of the record player speaker. Could only get one speaker at a time, so some of the truly stereo songs had these weird gapsā€¦ I styled myself as such a DJ!
