Topic: What was the first album you ever bought? (Read 9358 times)

Hayley Fiasco! · « **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

(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.

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

jdfu!

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

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

] 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.

When I was little I used to get countless soundtracks, the titles of which I have completely forgotten.

My first actual album was Avril Lavigne's Let Go which I actually bought like three or four years after she became a big phenomenon. To date I haven't yet bothered to buy her later albums (although I do have some interest in whatever her second album was. No interest in the latest one.)

Yes I am yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooung~

This was followed by the "Bye Bye Bye" single by NSYNC. I recieved it for Christmas when I was 7 or 8 and was all "wtf? there are only 2 songs on here."

I owned both of those, along with other Spice Girls, Destiny's Child and Backstreet Boys albums.
I sure had an AWESOME taste in music, yeah?

The first album I ever bought was the backstreet boys self titled. I was eight. I bought the next three, and the first two nsync CDs too. Oh, yeah, and I had posters.

Then sometime around 2002 I realised I was way too cool for mainstream trash music, and I threw all of them out. Well, except for the first nsync cd, with whatsisname in a sleeveless shirt and looking fiiiine. it spent the next year or two under my matress I had aaron carter CDs too.
But mostly because he was cute and I was under the impression that if I bought his cds he'd come to my house. I was a dumb kid. My parents totally should have known I was gay years ago. *EDIT* Speaking of aaron carter, has anyone seen him lately? I googled him just now just to see what he looks like, post-2000, and he's like, twenty now. That makes me feel old, and we're the same age. Anyway, he looks all coked out.

Nick had that whole rugged thing going on. Aaron was the cute sweet brother. Personally, I think they had a thing going on.

You know, I accidentally met Nick Carter in like 2002 at O'Hare airport in Chicago. Very pimply in real life.... that being said, the first CD I bought was NSync's "No Strings Attached" when I was in eighth grade.

I was the nicest museum store manager ever. I left the MoC in 2002, and I still keep in touch with several of my old cashiers
even though two live in North Carolina (married to each other), and another's in California, not to mention the ones still here
in town. Also, it was a kick to hang around people who know a lot more than I do about various things.

The first music thing I ever owned was a Lion King cassette my dad gave me.

No, because projection occurs when someone's feelings are repressed and then attributed to someone else. It doesn't fit.

I think the first one I bought was Billy Joel's "The Stranger" album (1977), and that wasn't until I was in college. Before that, I mostly listened to the radio.

I did have some regular music albums before that, including Herb Alpert, Stan Getz, a Christmas Brass anthology, and Beethoven Symphonies. But a lot of my kid collection was comedy and novelty, including the following gems:

Alvin and the Chipmunks
The Best of Bill Cosby
More of the Best of Bill Cosby
Snoopy vs. The Red Baron (by The Royal Guardsmen)
Return of the Red Baron ( " )
Snoopy's Christmas ( " )
Songs by Tom Lehrer
An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer
That Was the Year That Was (Tom Lehrer)
Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief (a 3-sided album on one disk!)

...and my prize possession to this day, over-the-top in amazing dorkiness:

The first CD I owned was the Spice Girls, Spiceworld - but that was given to me, I didn't buy it myself. Surely that makes it a little better? I think that the first album I purchased myself was a Christina Aguilera cassette, and my first CD paid for with hard-earned pocket money was... god, I'm not sure. S Club 7, maybe? I was a true child of my era.

And then the first vinyl I bought was a second hand copy of Sergeant Pepper a few years ago. That's a little more respectable, I guess.

(and the first CD I ordered online so as to procure a signed copy was No, Virginia

)
