The first song I fell in love with

The first album I bought
I grew up in the 80s and loved Wham!, Bros, Madonna and Bon Jovi. Then I won bookshop vouchers in a writing competition – which you could also use to buy CDs. My goth friend said I had to go and buy Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins from a bookshop in Dundee.
