First record I ever bought was Snot Rap by Kenny Everett. I also have a copy of Orville the Duck’s record somewhere.
(Actually , Orville, in a sort of Baldelli-esque wrong speed vibe, made it into a crazed three deck mix my friend and I made once. )

Not sure if it fits here but before I got into ‘dance’ I loved Heavy Metal (age 10 - 12) and then had a Psychobilly phase aged 15

The first time I heard of Francois Kervorkian was in 1982. His name was on the back of a U2 single. That is the only reason I was a fan of U2. Honestly.
First record i bought Racey - Some Girls, I was 7 and loved all that Darts and Showaddywaddy rock n roll revival shite.

Is this a ‘guilty pleasures’ thread?
If so, prog era Genesis deserve no place on it. Carpet Crawlers is amazing!
If there is an amnesty bin for the worst thing I ever purchased this would be a strong contender:

Haha I remember Billy Nasty dropping this at Checkpoint Charlie and the place going off ! I think it was on his Essential Mix too. I quite liked it

I went and bought that too. From Rounder records in Brighton on a saturday morning after hearing it at the Zap the night before. Billy Nasty played it too. Hasn’t aged well

I really didn’t want to use that term. Not least because Sean Rowley took ownership and commodified it.

I was lying on the grass at bestival in 2005 monged out my head and Ulrich Schnauss was playing these lush ambient soundscapes and then Sean Rowley cut him short and dropped van halen’s jump. Felt akin to being electrocuted in a bath… (rob da bank did later apologise)

I was running a little whisky bar at a lost vagueness event. He got on the mic and deejaysplained to everyone about how every record he was about to play was really good and not being played in an ironic way but was serious music that deserved our attention. Hand on heart I have never used that term since.

Same! I dropped it at the Escape at the end of the night. My mate started cutting up some Apache break thing (Stress records maybe?) into it. Place went wild. Aaah, the 90s.
