I thought that I would get some discussion going on this board so I decided to ask the above question: when was the first time that you discovered Wilson Phillips?

For me, I didn't know that they existed until I saw the first album back in July of 1990 when I was deciding what tape to buy with my birthday money (my 11th birthday); I was attracted to the cover and I bought it on that fact alone. I listened it when I got home and liked it immediately; I have been a fan ever since, though in the last few years my interest has gone back and forth, based on what mood I'm in.

I'm looking forward to hearing everyone else's answers. :)

So I went and bought the cassette single. I loved the B side also which was Over and Over (I think). So then I bought the album and simply loved every song. I've been a fan ever since and Wendy has always been my favorite.

I first heard of WP on the radio with "Hold On." I loved the song and remember seeing the video on MTV and loving the boardwalk "strut" they did to the chorus and thought it was so cool. I loved the next 2 singles as well and especially when Wendy took the lead for "Impulsive" because I orignally thought that Chynna was the designated lead singer of the group and it would always be that way, even though "Release Me" was 3 part. I got the album cassette for Christmas that year and played it non-stop. So much so that when I got punished or grounded my parents would actually take it away from me as punishment. I was 13 when the album debuted and have been a huge fan ever since and always will be.

I first know WP during their first single Hold On, when I saw their MTV on the local program. I was hunting for it for the longest time then, cos everywhere I went, I kept telling the CD Retail guys, it's 3 gals, and they are singing on the mountains, they are going to be big:)

Since then, I try to collect as many WP stuff from their CD single, 12", 7", albums and cassettes...Should've more then a 100 in total collection.

btw, feel free to check my website, just started, it's just on music
