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.

[turns down hearing aid]
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 owned was Van Halen's first.  I got it for my birthday the year it came out, when I was ten.

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

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!)
