Rumor has it they'll be one of the next big reunion tours happening (or at least announced) this year, better start saving those nickels, dimes and pennies now:

LOL! As much as I loved them when I was 8-10 years old, I would not go see them now. I want to preserve my memories of them as hot teenage boys (well, only one of them was to me) rather than really pathetic looking 30-40 year old men.

I was a late bloomer in all respects.

LP purchased was Aqualung by Tull in the summer of 1971.

Cassette purchased was CD Southern Accents by Tom Petty in April 1985.

CD I won in a radio call-in, was Better Days by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes around 1995. I did not own a CD player at the time. It may have been a year before I bought a CD player. I'd have to look through my CD's to see which was the first one I bought.

First LP-Lynyrd Skynyrd-Street Surviviors black cover,and thus began a search-and eventually a find- of the flame cover...

First Cassette-Led Zeppelin-fourth album (I think)

First CD-Jimmy Buffett- Livin' and Dyin' in 3/4 Time (already had it on vinyl;I was beginning to change over my collection to CD in 1995(!)

the first tapes i remember going to a store and picking out were: uriah heep's look at yourself, steppenwolf's greatest hits. they were in the 3.99$ section. i thought i was

in heaven. prior to that i listened to hand me down 8-tracks, records, and radio dubs.

i had the wizard of oz soundtrack, the bonnie and clyde soundtrack, a bunch of motown

r&b pop compilation records from the early seventies i got from my grandfather's

basement. my moms old elvis aloha from hawii lp, her bob seger live bullet 8-track. stuff like that. first cd was kiss - rock and roll over. my uncle gave me all his old kiss

records but refused to let me even stare at his zeppelin lps and 8 tracks lol.
