Happy birthday, CDs!
Posted by Stacy Chandler at August 17, 2007 7:53 AMThe very first CD was made 25 years ago today, and baby, you've come a long way! Read all about the origins of our little friends here.
Meanwhile, let's bring a little fun to this birthday party by sharing what and when was your very first CD purchase.
I'll break the ice (and thereby completely embarass myself): I was a pretty late adopter, not buying my first shiny disc until 1995. It was the soundtrack to "Jurassic Park." Yeah, eat it.
1990 - Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and the Charlatans UK's "Some Friendly".
Still two of my most favorite albums ever.

My very first CD purchase on my own was Bryan Adams - "So Far So Good".. I think that was the name of the album. I was a HUGE Bryan Adams fan when I was a teenager. That was also my first concert.

From 1979 - 1986 Ian McCulloch had the best voice in the world. Saw the Bunnymen in the 1980's. Still to this day ranks as the greatest live show I have ever witnessed.
