When I was maybe 11, asked a friend who had an older brother (maybe 18-20) what a good rock album would be to buy. So, my first album was Ummagumma by Pink Floyd. Okay, that is not what I would consider a good primer for a kid, I failed to realize his bro was something of a burnout hippy. I appreciated it more later, and yes, I still have it.

@ArtieKat Awesome. By the time I started going to concerts, Ozzy was gone. I was supposed to see him a few years back, but his health issues belayed the concert. I saw Pink Floyd in concert, was without Waters. That was fine with me, I was a more of a Gilmour fan.

@BrewCityBarfly I used to see Ozzy quite regularly at one time - he lived just across the road from the pub where I was working at the time (1981) in Wimbledon. So different in real life to his stage persona

Dvorak symphony no 9, Constantin Silvestri and l'Orchestre National de la Radiodiffusion Française, in 1958 or 1959 after hearing the SNO perform it in the St Andrew's Halls, Glasgow. I still have the record. It's totally worn out, unplayable; but a friendly fellow online sent me a copy of a Japanese CD reissue and it's still a favourite of myself and my wife - who first heard it together with me in the St Andrews halls those 65 years ago .
Thanks for the opportunity to recall the golden days of my youth!

@happygoluckygal Your profile says you like finding 'new' music. Do you know any of Stan Rogers songs?

My first two - I forget in which order - were Led Zeppelin Two, and Family's Family Entertainment.
Yes, I still have them, among a collection that was never large, but I have still not even unpacked the record-player I bought, oh, I think at least fifteen years ago now!
The record-player is one from which copies (of dubious legality) to a USB memory device can be made and I had had the idea of doing that when MP3 players were around (are they still?) so I could listen in the car.

@ArtieKat I,with a circle of friends who used to meet regularly and all enjoyed Progressive Rock, saw several bands around that time, 1970-72 I suppose.
These included Family, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Van der Graaf Generator.
I have just looked up the last of those bands, on Wikipedia, and its says this:
Aha! It was one of those gigs, in Bournemouth, that I saw them. It does seem an unlikely combination of bands, now, but everyone enjoyed it. Lindisfarne finished their set with Fog on the Tyne, and waved Van de Graaf on stage from where they had been watching from only just in the wings, to join in the choruses.
Same line-up on the only LP I have of theirs, The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other (1971). They did like snappy album titles...
.......
All reminds me of a cartoon I once saw. It depicted a radio DJ telling his listeners, "That was Led Zeppelin, and guess what, kids, they all played their own instruments!"

The Hammill/Banton/Jackson/Evans quartet that resulted from H to He, Who Am the Only One is now considered the "classic" line-up. The group played on the 'Six Bob Tour'[a] in early 1971 with fellow Charisma labelmates Genesis and Lindisfarne.

I LOVED that movie. It was on TV all the time. About A Quarter To Nine was my favorite (although that may be from Jolson Sings Again - I forget).

🤔..............When I was 6 years old, my Mom bought me 'Meet The Beetles' at the grocery store when the album was released. It would have been 1964.......Not sure what happened to it but I wore it out playig it.
My first album I bought myself when I was 11-12 years old (1969-70) was the 'Easy Rider' sound track from the movie and I still have the album...I wore out that album too.......

I do. It was Honey and the Honeycombs. Honey was the drummer. I do not still have it. It got broken during a weird event where I had my little record player on the porch, and a crow flew inside the porch, pitched a conniption fit and knocked the player off the table.
Poor Honey. Rum pum.

@HotPizza71 brilliant record
Yes I do. The lady at the record store recommended it. This was in the 1960's. It was titled Dino, Desi and Billy. They were kids of famous artists doing covers. They were good and I liked the songs. No, I don't still have it. The album got broken and I replaced it with the Partridge Family.
