What was your first?

[MarkM]

Well that got your attention

the actual question is "What was the first song you bought" Now this might be an album but in most cases it will be a song and presents do not count.

I will start it off.

My first single was "Chanson d'amour" by Manhatten Transfer.
My first album was "Out of the Blue" by ELO

I know some really sad (well they were good when you paid the cash) songs are going to come up on this list, kinda like the worse song in your collection, oh and one rule other than no presents is that no downloads count, you have to have physically owned the song.

*editted* to include first album.
