First CD of my own: Metallica - Metallica (although first CD in the house was Michael Jackson - Bad, but I didn't buy it).

First MP3: I think it was Al Green - Lets Stay Together

MattW

I love that record, don't know why, also Rednex, "Cotton Eye Joe" (I so fancy the woman in the video), Adelweiss and any slightly novelty dance records, Doop was actually quite a clever dance "remix" of the Charleston from the 1920's.
