What was the first album you ever bought?
« on: July 23, 2008, 01:10:02 AM »
Normally the question is CD but I figured I'd say "album" to allow cassettes, vinyl and *sigh even digital music count.



First CD I ever bought was a single from Jagged Little Pill when I was 8 years old. I don't remember which one it was, maybe Head Over Feet or Ironic... could have even been You Oughta Know - it got lost/thrown out a year or so later due to a fire in my family's home the following year. I didn't even own a CD player - I used my dad's.

Then in 5th grade I bought the first SPICE GIRLS album on cassette... yeah, I still have it.


First full length CD I bought was Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie - Alanis Morissette's sophomore album.

I really intended this to be first CD but I remember the first digital album and vinyl record I bought. I bought Silverchair's Neon Ballroom and Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals because I won a 20 GB Dell digital jukebox mp3 player and it had a gift certificate to buy songs on their platform. The first vinyl I bought was on ebay - two from the same seller - Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and Bush's Razor Blade Suitcase.

The memory's kinda fuzzy...

Honestly, it was either Supertramp's Breakfast in America, or ABBA's Greatest Hits on vinyl...
First Pre-recorded cassette was Styx' Cornerstone, a bit later.

I know there were cd´s before this cd´s but they were purchased by my sister  :) she used to buy me so many cd´s.

CD: Jimi Hendrix Live at Woodstock, amazing i got shocked the way he was playing his guitar.

Cassette: Los Angeles Azules  ;D ;D ;D (i am ashamed about this one)

Vinyl: 2 Bottles of Wine by Jason Webley with Reverend Payton, i bought this because i was amazed by his music and thought it would be cool, let´s see how this one sounds like... fuck it was AWESOME.

Digital Music: NEVER (Only if it´s a really only available to purchase on internet and i really want it and i can´t get it other way... not that possible).

A double-LP compilation of Beatles songs called "Rock and Roll Music". A copy of this in mint condition was worth beaucoup $$$ last time I checked, but I trashed mine through near-constant use. :glasses9:

1st CD I bought: "Fisherman's Blues" by The Waterboys (which I heartily recommend you all buy asap), but it wasn't for me - I didn't own a CD player at the time. I gave it to my best friend.

1st CD I bought for myself: "Blue Sky Mining" - Midnight Oil

Elliott Smith's "XO", which is surprising, since every other CD I bought for the next two years is too embarrassing to mention, but I still actually listen to this one.  Everything from before that was a gift, so it doesn't count :P

First album I bought was the Venga Boys on cassette. I played it until it broke. There was that and Lou Bega's Mambo Number Five and Ricky Martin's Livin' The Vida Locas singles.

My first CD was Amy Studt's Just A Little Girl single, first album was Nelly Furtado's debut, Whoa, Nelly!.

The first DECENT CD I ever bought was The Story Of The Clash Volume One - bit of a difference there!

First CD I owned myself was the Disney Aladdin soundtrack [which I still have and listen to, I might add  ;D] but I grew up listening to Metallica, AC/DC, and Danzig with my dad, and my mom was all about Garth Brooks. So their CDs and cassettes were pretty much my own, too.

I can't remember what cassette tape I had first, although I do recall have a Mother Goose lamp that had a cassette player in the base with a read-a-long book and the Mother Goose stories on cassette. I guess that counts, right?

First vinyl was by Patsy Cline, don't recall the title.

The first album I ever bought was ABBA's greatest hits Volume I.

So in conclusion it wasn't all the sex you were having, it was his suspicion that you were a vagina elf drug dealer.

Arjuna: Into the Another World (yes, the typo is real) by Yoko Kanno at Sam Goody. I recommend many of the songs on it (plus there's 20 of them!)
