I never got into Crowded House -- another Australian "house" band I remember quite liking in the 80s was Icehouse. The only reason
why that Split Enz album was the first I heard on the Walkman was
because my brother had just bought a Walkman (think it was the first
time I saw one) and had True Colours in it and let me listen to it while
we dd work on our parents yard. When I got my first Discman, the first
CD I put on was Shubert's Piano Trio in E Flat. I got it the because
the piece featured in a film called The Humger which rather obsessed me
at one time, but classical is my first love.
Most very probably the first music I heard with headphones was
classical. I did particularly love Bach's Brandenberg Concerto as a
child, and my dad would only play classical music, but I got to know a
lot of rock music (Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project etc.) thanks to my
older brothers.

It probably was with some horrendous sony on-ear headphones (those that came with walkmans) listening to some classical music. But all my life I've loved headphones and I finally have a couple that actually let me hear everything as I wanted. I have had a lot of atrocities too.

How was your first headphone experience, what album did you listen to for, for me i remember quite well, 666 on 71, unforgetable especially because there are numerous stereo effects all along this great album, it's very well produced ( not saying for a french production ) An outstanding experience
