Your first album?
 

What was the first record/cd you bought & do you still have/like it?

The first CD that I ever bought was Metallica's Black Album. Still have it and still listening to it to this day. :)

I used to make my own collection cassettes, yes:cassettes! I had the rec and play-buttons and the pause pressed down, at home waiting for me who was running like hell through the snow towards home after school. The damned rock-radio always started on time, not giving a 'hhit about the little creature struggling the ice and snow. The first I bought with money was purely because I liked the cover. Hanoi Rocks. And the cover didn't lie. Self destruction blues is a fantastic rock album. And the band had me hooked for years. I had their poster in the ceiling of my room.

uhh, i think mine was way back when i was super retarded and like weird al. haha, good times :(

gladly, my taste in music has matured (at least i like to think so!)

the most humerous part about it was, i didnt even know what songs he was paradoying at the time. now he is songs are much funnier =\

I think it was some Montel Jordan CD. Yea, I used to listen to shitty top 40 when I was 12.

Electric Breakdance cassette.

Song 1 was Jam On It - Newcleus/
I think song 3 was White Lines.

Great stuff.

First CD: Weird Al, Off the Deep End. I was 10 or 11 probably. Traded it in for used books at a local store when I was in high school.
No idea about first tape.

White Zombie : La Sexorcisto - Devil Music Vol. 1

My first cd I bought was GreenDay -Dookie
I still have it and I still love the band

LMAO!! That's great. :D

My first album was Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - I Love Rock & Roll. I think my mom still has the album somewhere. I got it when I was like eight or nine. I still actually sing "I love rock and roll" at Karaoke. That song effing ROCKS!!! :D

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables.

Absolute classic.

first album was 10cc "how dare you?" and it is sitting right next to my copy of ELO's greatest hits

still have it, still love it:

Green Day - hmm...the yellow one........Nimrod

it was back in sixth grade... like, almost 12 years ago. Janet Jackson's Janet. i still have it, and i still like it.

first cassette: Counting Crows - August and Everything After (turned out i didn't really like it then, and don't like it now either!)

first CD: Candlebox - Candlebox (loved it then and now... very underappreciated album/band)

Warren G - Regulate... G Funk Era

Survivor was the first album I bought, I still have it somewhere!

Thunderbirds are go, with Captain Scarlet on the other side. Still got it.......Timeless.
I think the next one was by a piano player from Middlesex, Elton John I think his name was, they say he did quite well.

The first album I remember buying was "Business as Usual" by Men at Work. I loved the song Who Can it Be Now?, turned out the whole album was pretty good in a "new-wave-lots-of-senthisizers kind of way.

However, the first album I was given, along with my first record player, was "Kiss Alive II." That thing rocked my 8-year-old nuts off.

Well, the first album I ever bought myself was Janet Jackson's Janet. I still have it and I still listen to it. It reminds me of sixth grade soccer games. Oh, the good ol' days.

Iron Maiden, Killers....great album, still own it, still listen to it!

Michael Jackson "Bad"

Yes, i still love it

beavis and butthead do america soundtrack

CD
Bush- Razorblade suitcase
Cassette
Billy ray cyrus-the one with "achy breaky heart"

I think the first pre-recorded anything I bought was Men at Work's third album, Two Hearts. I'm pretty sure I bought the only copy sold in North America. I had it up until a few months ago, when I finally donated a ton of old records to Goodwill.

Looking over the above responses, I wish I'd've been cool enough to have bought something like the Dead Kennedys my first time around.

Rush 2112 - I now own it on CD, and after 20+ years of listening to this album, I still hear stuff on it I've never noticed before!

First vinyl- Best of the Guess Who (I'm dating myself) I played it over and over and over.
Then I bought Pink Floyd -Dark side of the moon and played it over and over and over.

smashing pumpkins - ava adore.

i was 12 at the time, and everyone else in grade 6 was freaked out by it.

the record was hit explosion back in the early 80's - it had some of the best pop hits of the time!!!

then about 8 years later i got my first CD player, and my first 2 cd's were the original london recording of the phantom of the opera, and Berlin "Love Life"

Man, i felt so guilty listening to berlin when i was only 13... but man, i had such a crush on terri nunn it was unreal...

I think it was either somethign by the beach boys, or something by Neil Diamond. Both on cassette. Haven't seen those in a while but I bet they are still good :)

I forgot to mention... yes, I still have both albums,but, no turntable!

Yes, "Fragile." It cost $4.76 in 1972 from a head shop called Above Ground Records.

first album: Robert Plant - Pictures at Eleven - still have it, wish I could find it on cd.

first cassette: Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy - cassette died a while back, but I have it on vinyl.

first cd: Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? - still have it, love it, listen regularly.

First album was one my parents gave me - Rubber Soul by the Beatles. The first I bought was A Night at the Opera by Queen. Still have both somewhere in a box in the basement!

I'm dead serious about this; my very first album, at the age of 12 was Dave Brubeck "Time out". Of course it was vinyl, it was 1959 after all. It was Monaural, I only had a mono record player. I still have a copy, on CD; it sounds pretty good in Dolby Pro-Logic, but I loved it just as much in monaural.

My first 8 track - Star Wars (the soundtrack)....it died years ago

My first cassette - Journey/Frontiers....also dead and discarded

My first CD - U2/Joshua Tree....still alive and well

At age 6, my babysitter turned me on to Rubber Soul by the Beatles. After that, at my request, my parents bought me the album and continued to buy me Beatles records until the band split when I was 10.

In one fell swoop, I bought the Beatles' red and blue "best of" compilations and <i>Live at the Hollywood Bowl</i> on vinyl at the age of twelve. I still have them and, needless to say, I still love the band and their music.

Aerosmith Rocks

The first CD I bought was Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (1). This led more purchases of his CDs (still a bunch to go...).

I bought Haddaway's album with my sister. LOL!

First album was 'Paid in Full' by Eric B. & Rakim. I hadn't heard any of it but I was drawn to the gold paint on the sleeve.

First CD was 'Dummy' by Portishead. I bought it about 2 months before I could afford a CD player. It's still my favourite album.

My first CD was The Rembrandts - LP....I know! I know! Shut up.

Don't Laugh....

Captain Fantastic by Elton John

That was before I "discovered" Led Zep...

I rediscovered it a few days ago and now it's in my car.

It was either Houses Of The Holy by Zeppelin or the White Album by the Beatles. Either way,it was '75, I was 10 and my friends thought I would die and go to hell. Then again,they were listening to the Bay City Rollers.Anyone remember them? I think one of them just got popped for kiddie porn.

Billy Joels greatest hits Volume I and II on vinyl. It has since been replaced by the CD set, as the albulms were damaged, but I still listen to it..

I bought Dark Side of the Moon before I had hair on my nuts.

My first CD was Petra's Beyond Belief. And yes, I still pull it out sometimes.

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

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.

Bought it in late '78 when I was 10 on vinyl and had it taken away shortly therafter when my Mom heard "Big Balls" cranked up coming from my room. I found it a few years later in the back of her closet and still have it to this day. No record player to play it on though :(

Don't say it. I know. ;-)

RATM - BOLA

Not their best album, but still kick-ass!!!

then some fatassedfuckedupsonofabitch stole it from me!!! I HAD EMOTIONAL CONNECTOINS TO THAT ALBUM!!!

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 (not cd) i bought with my own money was SHABOO SHOOBAH by INXS. yes, i still own it, but had to replace it with a cd, ending with their anthology. it's a shame hutch had to kill himself.

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.

This is embarassing:

First tape: Vanilla Ice, whatever his first album was.

First CD: Screaming Trees - don't remember the name, but it came in one of those cardboard longboxes.

mickey mouse does compton (special edition)

alanis morissette - jagged little pill.

:)

Air Supply's Greatest Hits sometime when i was a kid.

My first cassette, which I stole from my brother was Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madmen. I listened to that over and over. First one I bought was Ozzy's Tribute to Randy Rhodes.

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.
