That isn't an uncool single! The Damned and Motorhead both covered it.
Personally was never a singles fan. The only one I ever bought was the 1978 Re-issue of Silver Machine...
Is it PotG?

Oh? Vindicated at last!
How about my first album then? George Formby - greatest hits. That’s gotta be worth a
, surely?

Can't remember, but we had Puff the Magic Dragon at home and I loved that 
First proper gig I went to was Horse-slips (not sure I've got the name right)

How about records you loved and now hate with a passion (rather than starting another thread 
)
Gregory Isaacs - Night nurse. Tune really grates on me when I hear it now.

Both Leonard Lipton and lead singer Peter Yarrow have stated "Puff the Magic Dragon is not about drugs." Yeah, right...

I still think Puff the Magic Dragon is one of the saddest songs ever, saddest in the original sense.
One of my first gigs was Gladys Knight and the Pips.

That doesnt count its well cool, up there with the chicken song, I had both on the same tape, and the laughing gnome. I was about 6yrs old therefore it was cool. I think it was the same year I bought the Ghostbusters single for my mom for Christmas on 7" therefore she was cool too.
I think the first uncool tape I bought as a single was Brian May, Driven by You. I thought that was cool but I was wrong

Pinky & Perky EP
A carboot sale classic. How many of those ****ing things were pressed? Every time we moved house I threw one away only for 2 more to appear. Still freaks me out and I used to have to not let the kids watch Peppa Pig cos I got flashbacks

Is/was Caravan of Love by the Housemartins with our Norm ever cool? I think the video was definitely awesome

Embarrassingly my first single purchased was My Dingaling by Chuck Berry - the meaning completely passed me by - I was just an 8 year old who rather liked the song!
First Album was probably by Pinky and Perky - I adored them when small.
My first gig was a slight recovery from a tragically poor musical start - The Undertones at the Top Rank Suite.
