I bought "Toys In The Attic" by Aerosmith in 1975. Still a great record!

"Duran Duran" by Duran Duran

Ozzy Osbourne : Bark at the Moon.
I just listened to it again this weekend & it still rocks !

Miami Vice soundtrack. Followed closely by Synchronicity by The Police.

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...

Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers

I must be the young guy here.

Led Zepplin - Houses of the Holy

Huey Lewis & The News - Small World

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

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.

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

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.

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!

Erasure - The Innocents

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

KISS Double Platinum.

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 absolutely 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 may 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.

The Beatles/1967-1970
