Your "Three E.P.s by the Beta Band" moment
I'm sure many of us are familiar with the scene in High Fidelity (book or movie) where the character Rob says "I'm about to sell 5 copies of the Three E.P.s by the Beta Band" and then pops on "Dry the Rain" by the Beta Band only to have the clientele of his record store start grooving... Honestly, I personally bought that album after hearing it in the movie. But I digress. What album/track/artist did you buy after hearing it in a record store on first listen, previously unknown to you? For me, I was at a Hastings (if you're U.S. based, did you have a Hastings?!?!), and in the music area they were playing '23' by Blonde Redhead. I was instantly in love. I had to have it, nevermind that I'd never heard it before. Fortunately, they had a little stand where they placed the "currently playing album" so I didn't have to interact with anyone to figure out what it was. Yay introversion. What about you?

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary. I had gone in to my university's record store (those used to exist!) to buy Weezer's Blue Album, and Diary was released the same day. I'd never heard it but it caught me with the cover. You used to be able to listen before you bought, so I did, and WOW. Bought them both.
I saw this in another group and thought this group would like it
Greatest one line in a song ever, not a verse, chorus or bridge. Let's hear 'em

First Show
I've considered doing a Morning Show about this but I only have 3 hours. It would take me 3 months. So mine was 16 years old, Jane's Addiction with Mary's Danish opening at Eastern Washington University. I remember walking in to "Coming Down the Mountain" and seeing bodies flying in the air, everyone wearing black, just absolute MAYHEM and all I wanted to do was more of this! I stayed out the pit that day and just stood there in awe to be seeing and hearing the music from a band I loved. I was HOOKED. I think they played 30 minutes because Perry was a mess but I didn't know any better and in fact was shocked when I saw a band play longer! Also first show in Seattle? Pixies. Moore Theater.

First show I bought tix for and drove myself to (just got my license) around 1986 or so was The Pretenders, with Iggy Pop opening up. Capitol Center outside of DC.
