Sleep deprivation is dangerous. You lose coordination. Actors famously use it as a technique for acting drubl. Next time you see Ferris Bueller, and the scene near the end with Charlie Sheen: he stayed awake for over 24 hrs straight before filming so he would appear wasted.

I don't really get deprived of sleep, my problem is oversleeping. However, I have gone long times without sleep in the past, 5 and a half days being the most.

Oversleeping affects productivity in a big way.
 
"Look at these kids and their damn music. Polite lyrics, quiet guitars, short hair. In my day we were scumbag metalheads and glad for it! Had two walk two miles uphill each way just to buy our CDs - yeah you kids don't remember when music was something you could hold. Now you get anything you want on those tubes. Back when I was a child, we'd have to suffer through Neil Diamond 8-tracks, and we were happy to have it!"

There's generally less exaggeration (it'd be hard to get more), but that's probably not too far off how most conversations at the pub go, even from my side - why I remember when a loaf of bread cost me 17p! Now it's over £1, bloody outrageous!

I still have a KISS 8-track. And Neil Diamond's Jazz Singer was one of my first cassettes :)
 
Music from when I was a lad... hmm.
I remember this being played in the car from my dads cassette collection:
and these from the kids parties on holiday - hotel used to once a week do a big disco/party with a DJ and the hotel manager running things like Musical Statues, Musical Bumps, Jump the mat, etc

Musically, they are my earliest memories.
 
Kiss was the first band I got into on my own ... loved (and still do) their early stuff and Ace's 78 solo album is an all time favorite of my.
 
Kiss "Asylum" (their latest album at the time) was one of the first CDs I ever bought when CDs were new. The other three bought that day: Screaming for Vengeance, Van Halen I and a best-of Sabbath disc. Score.
 
I think Alive II was the first one (Kiss record) I got, I bought a bunch around the same time .. when the 78 solo albums were coming out. The gatefold of Alive II was just impressive as hell

I would have to think about CDs ... the early ones were kind of crappy, I was not impressed at all.
 
First music I actually bought was probably some pop compilation thing. First music I really took in and listened to was Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush and Saga.
