First album I BOUGHT was Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole. I was really into electronica and techno in those angsty highschool days (eh...). :D

Before that I sustained myself on my dad's CD collection - he has a huge collection of classic rock stuff - Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, etc. Hell, even today I often find myself listening to them. I don't remember listening to the Chemical Brothers for a looong time now.

THRILLER

My frist tape was GnR - Appetite for destruction. Bought it in 5th grade. I don't have that one I bought, lost it and then got it agian.

My Frist CD was Rage Agianst the Machine - Self Titled and I still have it.

Can't remember the first CD I bought. I've lost or damaged so many of those over the years. I should call the RIAA for a refund. Last one I got was Live - Birds of Prey.

My first record, was a 45! It was Gary Numan -Cars

Age 7, I bought Queen - The Game http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/Que-tG.jpg

The Police - Ghost in the Machine.

I don't think I bought it, but it was the first record that was all mine

(not counting childhood favs like "Sesame Street Fever" and the soundtrack to "Pete's Dragon")

(also not counting various K-TEL compilation albums I owned before then, of which the first was "Power Play")

I don't have any idea what was the first album I purchased with my own cash.

First CD's:

The Beatles - Revolver
The Riolling Stones - Hot Rocks (the first one, with Satisfaction and all the other goodies)
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon, I think (might have been Wish You Were Here)

I saved up my money for a loong time in order to buy Pink Floyd - The Wall. It was my first album and I was only 11ish years old. That was when I first fell in love with Pink Floyd:love:. I now have a bunch of their other albums, but The Wall is no longer in my possesion. It was stolen a few months ago, along with all the other cds that were sitting in my ex's car up in Wisconsin...:mad:

First album I bought with my own money..."To the Extreme" by Vanilla Ice....i'm not ashamed...but i don't have the tape anymore either...

I can't even remember what the first one I bought was... I know I dont listen to it anymore because my taste in music has changed so much since then. This is gonna bug me all night, what WAS my first album?!?

I think the first cd I ever bought was Limp Bizkit - Three Dollar Bills Yall$.

It was
NWA straight out of compton

I stopped listening to rap in the early 90s and no longer own the album.

Grease soundtrack... it was worn out I can tell ya.

Hmm... very hard to say.

I remember buying MC Hammer when it first came out... but before that I can recall listening to Weird Al - Even Worse.

My first "real" album that got me seriously interested in music: Nirvana - Nevermind in '91.

After that ... Faith No More - Angel Dust ('92), Metallica - Black Album, and GNR - Use Your Illusion II, but it all stemmed back to Nirvana.

It was either Nirvana - Nevermind, or Iron Maiden - Powerslave..

I believe the first CD I bought was ZZ Top - Recycler or some live cd with Helloween.

First LP was Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for destruction and I still have it :D

--jaded

first record i got: rolling stones, out of our heads and a strange sing-and-play along with a hammond organist doing beatles covers.
first that i bought: no idea--i am sure that i would now find it appalling.

"Evil Empire" - RATM (Rage against the Machine)

Def Leppard - Pyromania

RHCP - blood sugar sex magik
originally bought on tape back when I was a young tyke.
Of course re-bought it on CD when I got older.
RHCP rocks my nuts!

It was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure it was Songs from the Wood by Jethro Tull, when I was 10 or 12.

The first album I ever owned was a cassette of the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) that my sister gave me for Christmas one year. The first CD I ever bought was The Best of Blondie. I don't have either of them now.

My 1st album was infact a single 45

Written By Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder

I had that 45 too. Great song!

Asia - Asia

I bought the tape because I liked the Dragon on the cover, and the music turned out to be really good also.

I remember playing it in my backyard as I climbed our tree as a kid.

Before that I had some Disney sing-a-long tape, but I don't count that because I didn't buy it out of interest, but was given it instead.

My first tape was The Cars, "Heartbreak City"; long since melted in the Arizona heat.

My first CD was Ice-T, "Original Gangsta"; still have the CD and still cruise downtown Tucson to "Escape from the Killing Fields"
