do you remember what was the first album you ever bought with your own money?

@MoveAlong i had one of those record players, but i had the deluxe version with the extended pin that you could stack a few albums on, then hold them down with that arm that looked like an F, then that keeper spline thing imbedded in the pin would move to let an album drop to the turntable and you could then drop the needle onto the album to hear that hissing and popping before the music started. When that side of that album was over, flick the lever/knob to drop the next album and hopefully only one album would drop and go again and so on ..

@JimboSaturn i think i was living in bramalea when that album came out...one of the best selling albums of all time. 👍

@beermeplease i was in Ottawa

@JimboSaturn yup. I got it within the first few days it dropped and it was a long anticipated release. It did not disappoint. Every song on it is a banger. ..pretty much like most of the Bon Scott stuff before.

Back in Black is why AC/DC wont ever release a best hits album. It goes back and forth with Michael Jackson's Thriller as highest selling albums of all time. They don't want to possibly take away from those sales because you can't release a best hits album without including songs like Back in Black, Hell's Bells and You Shook Me all Night Long and those might be the only songs any greatest hits type of a consumer might recognize from the album BiB.

I remenber listening to it for the first time. B side first. Right away when I first heard the Johnson's vocals in Back in Black, I told my friend, "he sounds kinda like a cat." Then he (BJ) said "I got 9 lives, cat's eyes..." Me n Steve looked at each other with eyes wide open, saying WTF! 😳

His guest is Tony Orlando

@LordBarbossa interesting since he died in 1977 and you didn't even exist

@beermeplease good taste never dies

@LordBarbossa i was 6 in 1977 when he died and we were travelling back home from a camping trip back to canada. we were still driving in oregon...i remember it being a huge ordeal.

@SomeMichGuy an aristocrat eh? 😄

@JimboSaturn No, just had my musical taste centered in classical music...forever. 🤷‍♂

@BamPow 1980 was my first...mom took bro and me to cheap trick. then in 1986 i got to see metallica "puppets" tour with my older brother. that was the best concert i have ever been to.i was 15 then after that i saw every concert that came to town....everything from motley crue to ac/dc to alice cooper, judas priest iron maiden, slayer, all of the good stuff in the 80s. then pearl jam, alice in chains, soundgarden, and nirvana in the early 90s

@beermeplease Cheap Trick in ‘80 would have been incredible, because they were on fire at that point. I’m from the Chicago area, and whenever we’d go to shows in Rockford, you’d likely see some of the Cheap Trick guys if they weren’t touring themselves. I’ve seen Rick Nielsen join KISS, Velvet Revolver, and Alice Cooper on stage. Bun E. also joined Velvet Revolver, and they did a killer version of “Surrender”.

@BamPow i saw that concert in the summer going into grade 4 at maple leaf gardens in toronto. i didn't know much about them as my older brother wanted to see them so my mom took us while my dad drank beer at the royal york hotel (old famous hotel in toronto) and picked us up afterwards....but i was a fan since,

@Musicman I loved watching Partridge Family. David Cassidy was smokin hot

@Jenny1234 down girl 🤭

@Jenny1234 Lol!!! Yes he was. Danny was more my age.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout i think i still have that album....saw them live just 3 months before cobain died

@Prettybratbi1tch oh man you are missing out

@beermeplease mom didnt mind dad did

@Shybutwilling2bfriends your dad was just looking out for his little girl...mom must have had a crush on ringo 🤭

@beermeplease paul

@Nunlover nice

@beermeplease

I think they are touring now

@beermeplease I remember when my grand nephew got a guitar a few years ago, and I heard him playing the baseline to Smoke on the Water. 😂

@Thrust i think only 3 dates...dubai, kuala lampur and some other place

@icedsky great album. might have to listen to it later....just bought hash today too...floyd and hash....great combo 😋🫩

@beermeplease You must be older than I thought 🤔

@Bleed i'm 54

@beermeplease I would’ve guessed 40’s.

@JimboSaturn especially considering he was assassinated over a century ago and he's still making music.

@Tumbleweed i was listening to her last night on youtube high off my ass 😂

@beermeplease I always thought she was sooo beautiful!!
