your first album / cd

[Pocket Trips]

What is the 1st album or cd you ever bought? It has to be one you actually went out and purchased yourself because you just HAD to have that song. Your parents records that were passed on to you don't count. Niether does downloading music for those of you who are young enough to have no idea how great listening to music on vinyl was.

My 1st album was Tattoo You by the Rolling Stones

[M2d]

The Wall

[Shajen]

Tape:

Twisted Sister (don't remember the title of the tape)

CD: Def Leopard Pyromania

Does this mean I'm old?

No, I asked if that meant I was old, not geriatric.

Great choice.

[BWebb]

Can't remember first cassette, but the very first CD I bought was Ice T-Original Gangster. I guess that makes me an OG.

[Asufiji2004]

I was 12 and I bought The Chronic. So much for parental advisory sticker. I was under the impression that the CD was exactly like the music video. When I got home I put in our stereo and within 2 seconds I realized they said fvck and the "N" word. I was totally shocked, my mom came running into the living room asking me what the hell was going on. She was pretty cool about it though, I was allowed to listed to it in my room and a reasonable volume. She was afraid our neighbors might think I was saying the "N" word

[miajag81]

[Dominic]

The Osmonds - Crazy Horses

I was 9.

But check out the title track - it sounds like Judas Priest or something. Really strange.

Pearl Jam- Ten

It was the album that turned me from a "hearer" to a "listener". I used to hear music as not much more than some good sounds. After Ten I listened and really began to understand music. Since then I've learned to play five instruments, read music, sing music, and write music. I credit it all to that album.

Led Zeppelin I did something similar for me. After hearing it I decided to take a risk and buy a blues album by BB King and I have been a die hard blues fan ever since. It would have lead me to playing guitar as well but a handicap keps me from toturing the world with my musical stylings... Probably a good thing for the ears of those close to me /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[siccjay]

I THINK my first tape that I, myself actually went out and bought was Black Sheep - A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing.

I made my parents buy me Michael Jackson - Thriller on Vinyl though. I also had Reo Speedwagon - Hi Infidelity.

[Duke]

Billy Joel: Streetlife Serenade (vinyl).

Shortly after that I got a "Disco Duck" LP.

Music took on a whole new meaning for me after that album. I picked up a guitar after that album and taught myself. Then, after RATM's first CD, I picked up a bass. Commerford's bass lines were amazing. Then music became an addiction.

[Pocket Trips]

Btw I think this is one of those rare threads where "put it in her pooper" is not a valid response unless of course someone's 1st album was called "put it in her pooper" In which case i know what CD i will be buying next.

[ZeeJustin]

First Cassette - Criss Cross
First CD - Hootie and the Blowfish Cracked Rear View
Second CD - Mariah Carey (I think Fantasy was the album name)
Third CD - Live Throwing Copper, this is the album that got me into alternative rock, and music that was actually good. TO this day, this is one of my favorite albums, maybe even my favorite of all time.

As far as CDs, I spent my grade school graduation money on my first CD player and the CDs Throwing Copper from Live and August and Everything After from Counting Crows. My first two and to this day two of my favorite.
