First CD you bought

[B Dids]

I can't remember which tape I bought first (I know the first one I owned was Dire Straights- Brothers in Arms).

First CD was Naughty By Nature's 19 Naughty III.

First song I dl-ed was a track my friend Fatboy made. I was very proud to host it on my site- and thought that this was a cool new way to distribute music. Yet somehow I missed the entire Napster fad until it was almost over.

Appetite for Destruction

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

What about us 80's children who had cassette tapes? When I was but a wee lad who could barely walk, I remember having a little brown plastic tape player and it played nothing but Michael Jackson's Thriller. That is until it ate the tape, I got pissed, threw it in the closet, stomped on it, and never picked it up again. I've since moved on to much better music. I was young and stupid - what can I say?

I guess it's highly unlikely that I personally bought that tape, but I did own it, so does that count? I don't have my receipt from my first music purchase like all you apparently do, so I have no idea what the first album I actually bought myself was.
