Whoah, there's apparently a WIDE span of ages represented on this board....

My first album I picked out myself was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts I Love Rock and Roll. I was 6 at the time. Go figure.

I still remember the day I became co-owner, with my brother, of Wierd Al's "Dare to be stupid."

Fonzies Favorites - some thrown together thing with 50's music that was out when Happy Days was popular. Yes, I know. I'm old.

My dad bought me my first CD, which was Puff Daddy and the Bad Boy Family: No Way Out. He just knew I was into rap, so he bought it. Now, I was like 12 or 13 or something, but up until this point, I had just listened to my dads stuff, The Beatles, The Stones, Springsteen, this is the stuff I grew up on. And I went from that to Sean "Puff Daddy- P. Diddy-Dip Shiddy-whatever the hell hes calling himself these days" Combs

The first album I ever owned was Devo's "Freedom of Choice" and I still own it. They still sound as original as they did back in the late '70s.

I believe the first cassette I ever bought was Micheal Jackson's "Bad" album, and I think that first CD I bought was Anthrax's "Attack of the Killer B's" or something like that...both of which I regret immensly

First album I bought was Metallica Kill em All. It was on vinyl. That is those big black disks, for those too young to remember.

Nefir

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

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.
