QOTD – August 13th, 2013

Greetings.

Today’s question comes from the elite team of the BoD MoD. We were in the BoDMoD upscale lounge the otherday, sipping champagne, and wearing our silk robes with the MoD monogram on them, when Flair4DaGold propositioned this question:

I’m going to steal this question from “That Metal Show”, but I think it will drum up some good conversation.

What was the first album/cd that you bought with your own money?

I
bought Twisted Sister’s “Still Hungry” at K-Mart with lawn mowing money
in 1984.  I mean, who wasn’t into them around that time?  Plus, for a 9
year old, that cover was pretty rad.

My first CD was Public Enemy’s “Fear of a Black Planet” around ’91 when i finally decided to go all in on CDs. 

What about you?

First CD that I actually bought, I remember it like it was yesterday. Bone Thugs N Harmony
– Est. 1999 Eternal. I’d been literally begging my mom for 2 months
to get it. It had that Parental Advisory sticker on it, so she was
weary. I had to tell her that the sticker wasn’t just for swear words,
it was because of things like violence, and drugs. I told her I was a
smart kid, I wasn’t going to be influenced by something like that. It was a total crock.

The
day I got it…man, what a feeling. I was 12 at the time, and like you,
a lawn mower. So I had $15 saved at all times for when she said yes. At
that point when I got CD’s, I just skipped to the hits, you know? But
when I got Est. 1999, I sat in my room with my headphones on and
listened to it from beginning to end 3 times. Still one of my all time
favorite albums.

That Metal Show is a damn good show. If I had the money & resources, I’d love to do a wrestling show in that style, and just throw it up on youtube.

How say you?
