I shouldnt have said that - I love the Osmonds self-produced and band written albums like "Crazy Horses" and "The Plan". The first ROCK album I bought was the Who's "Meaty Beaty Big & Bouncy" at TG&Y (I can remember the day I bought it!) - because I wanted a copy of "Pinball Wizard". Still the best Who collection, IMO. I also remember going to Thrifty Drug in Goleta (in the same strip mall TG&Y was) where they had thousands of cut-out albums. I picked up Happy Jack and Magic Bus for 1.99 or 2.99. I also remember buying Peter & Gordon's first album there after hearing "A World Without Love" on the radio. My first Metal album? - The Sweet: "Desolation Boulevard".
