Let's hear it for mid-life crisis Terri
I'll just copy and paste my response from that long ago thread (there sure are a lot of ghosts in that thread)
I started with New Jersey which I stole from my son after I heard it blasting out of his room. I have long since bought my own (multiple) copies.
I went back for Slippery right away after listening to New Jersey and then I got the rest in chronological order. Sometime after I bought Slippery I went back and bought Bon Jovi and 7800 but I don't remember exactly when - not too long after.
I haven't always bought singles in order though. To this day I will find something or other on e-bay that I never bought and I'll purchase it used.
