What was the first album you ever bought?
 
I bought "Toys In The Attic" by Aerosmith in 1975. Still a great record!

Kiss Destroyer, I got it for Christmas when I was about 7. Been a member of the Kiss Army ever since.

Kiss Alive II - 3rd grade... I'll be 33 years young in August if that gives you a timeframe...

Good question, I can't remember. My memory sucks. :(

custom001 05-20-03 02:51 AM

Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA. On Tape :)

Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Vol. 1 and 2 was the very first CD I bought.


As for cassette, I think it was a Monkees album.

xmiyux 05-20-03 08:21 AM

The first cassette i bought was Prince: Purple Rain and the first CD i bought was Batdance (the Batman soundtrack by Prince).

jfoobar 05-20-03 08:41 AM

Led Zepplin II if memory serves. Houses of the Holy, Van Halen II, and several Kiss albums were also probably among the first 20 or so, all on vinyl.

No idea on first cassette.

I think that Tori Amos: Little Earthquakes was the first CD I ever bought.

Michael Corvin 05-20-03 09:28 AM

First cassette I bought with my own money was either Beach Boys: Endless Summer or Paula Abdul: Forever your Girl.
First CD, Janet Jackson: Rythem Nation

Ah, the things you listen to before you know what real music is.

Forever Your Girl was the second cd i ever bought!

Richard Marx - Rush Street was the first CD that I bought on my 16th Birthday when I got my first CD player. Wow... that was 10 years ago!

It was also the first CD that I damaged beyond repair by dropping the case. It popped open and the disk came out, but as it did it made a huge gouge in the disc!

gilbertr76 05-20-03 03:36 PM

Erasure - The Innocents

cdollaz 05-20-03 03:45 PM

Don't remember exactly which is first, but my first few were:

Saga - Worlds Apart
Rush - Signals
Bob & Doug - Great White North
Triumph - Never Surrender

You may be young but that is a great one. It all went downhill from there but that was some marvelous sh&^. :)

Queen - The Game

I bought this back in 1980 when I was in 4th grade.

I'm glad it's not something embarrasing like Depeche Mode (which I think was the 2nd album I bought).

I'm not <i>absolutely</i> sure, myself! I know that my dad got me British Steel by Judas Priest at the instigation of his then girlfriend!

I think my first purchase <i>may</i> have been Ozzy's first solo album. I really didn't buy many albums back then as I had little cash. I do know that I didn't have a turntable at the time and deliberately bought a tape when I purchased the album so a friend could make me a taped copy that I could play at home! How sad is that?!?!

Styx: The Grand Illusion, complete with a fold-out poster of the band-love the afro on Dennis DeYoung.
