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.

Uuudar

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 =\

BulletBob

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

apetaster

Electric Breakdance cassette.

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

Great stuff.

rock_bottom

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.

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.

Bush- Razorblade suitcase
Cassette

Hal Incandenza

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.

cj2112

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!

perripken

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.

fienna

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'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

Double D

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.

Hitchcock

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.
