    Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. CD album.

    Californication (the song) was the first mp3 I ever downloaded on Napster. After I bought the album, I deleted it!

    Single - Jona Lewie - Stop the cavalry
    Album - Thompson Twins - Hold me now

    Albums were too expensive back then - maybe as much as £5.99

    The first two albums I ever owned were Nevermind by Nirvana and What's the Story Morning Glory by Oasis.

    Back when music was decent and CD's meant something

    It was a cassette of cartoon theme tunes. Biker Mice from Mars was my favourite. There was also a brilliant version of No Limits sung by some cats, replacing the word 'no' with 'meow'. In fact all the lyrics were 'meow'. It was a kind of instru-meow-tal version. I do not still have it but I think about it every day.

    Never Mind the Bollocks - Sex Pistols.

    It's easy to look back on them as a bit of a joke now, especially compared their more long-lived contemporaries. But to an 11 year-old boy, it sounded like the end of the fucking world, and I loved it.
