Can you please edit the post and clarify what you mean by “turn on”? I’m not smart enough. Thank you.

Turn on meaning cause the music to play. OP means what non-kids music did you listen to when you were first in control of what music to play.

Queen. One of their best of albums. And Michael Jackson. Dangerous and History album (which had a best of disc too).

Also Queen here. Staying up late sitting on the floor next to the cassette player with the headphones on listening to News of the World.

My first album was They Might Be Giants - Flood.
What can I say, I still have great taste.
Also nice to know my first band has had good politics since their first show was at a Sandanista rally.
I gotta admit though, I first heard them on Tiny Toon Adventures.

In the mid 1970s, we could borrow cassettes from the library. I started with Neil Diamond “His 12 Greatest Hits”, then moved on to Electric Light Orchestra, Roxy Music, and Mike Oldfield.

It might have been Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin

The first CD I ever owned was O zone - Dragon Sta Din Tei aka the Numa Numa song. No idea why or where I got it from but I would listen to that on my little cd player

Found my parents “Business as usual” - Men at work vinyl.
Memorized “Down Under” listening with Sony DR-S5s. I always thought that’s how you were supposed to listen since the cord matched the one on the album cover.

Eminem curtain call. My grandma brought it for me having no idea what it was. I was listening to it for a few days before my mum was like wtf is that and then listened to the first song on the album which was fack. I was 9 or 10 and she confiscated it and I had to steal it back and rip it to the computer and create copies incase she got those.

I remember making back up’s of songs I liked that had swearing in them when i was like 8 in case my mom found them. I think I had like 5 or 6 copies of Damnit by Blink 182 hidden in my folder on the family computer, which had an 8gb hard drive.

One of the first albums I purchased was Back in Black by AC/DC. I also purchased a compilation album called Certified Gold. About half the songs on that were good, I remember liking a Pat Benatar song.
Before that I remember having a little portable boombox with cassette recorder and I recorded Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also by AC/DC and Destroyer by The Kinks. I listened to them over and over.

I’m not sure of the first song, but the first music I ever bought myself was II by Boyz II Men.

I loved playing with my bigger sister’s cheap hi-fi, I would put on a vinyl record and without power turned the record manually save heard whispering ^(🎵cherry cherry lady…🎶), so there’s Modern Talking, then when she bought a CD player it was Crush by Jennifer Page
