The First Album You Ever Bought/Owned

[The Mothman]

The first album I ever had was Rolling Stones: High Tides And Green Grass. I was about 7 when I got it. Then when I was eight I got my second album, which was Van Halen: Best Of. What can I say, I had a great taste in music at the young ages. My Dad told me what to get though. So maybe it was my Dadwho had the great taste. But I'm happy that I grew up with music that I am not ashamed of.

Smash by The Offspring


It ruled, and I had to turn down the nasty language parts because I didn't want to get yelled at by my dad.

[bloodrayne]

Def Leppard and Quiet Riot...Got 'em at the same time...

[dev!ls advocate]

Stunt by the canadian gods, the barenaked ladies, the greatest band ever created... ever...

[Dante'sInferno]

.....Korn-issues i bough it with my own money

[newb]

The first record I bought, I was about 10 years old.It was a 45,and without further ado...i shall tell you....twas "Honey", by Bobby Goldsboro.Let me sing you a bit.
AHEM.........

See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin' late
'Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could

The First C.D I ever bought was

Bush - 16 stones

and it changed my life

[urgeok]

like newb .. my first was a 45 (like most kids in the 60's - 70's)

mine was : Hot Butter - by Popcorn :)
i think my first LP was Elton John's Greatest Hits ..

or one of those k-tel compilations.

i distinctly remember thinking how weird it was that people would want an entire album with the same band on it :D

[barbra]

I think this thread is a repeat

[taylorsmommy]

That was too long ago for this old brain to remember! It was probably either The Partridge Family or The Osmond Brothers.

















Newb - that song always made me cry when it came on the radio

[Marroe]

First albums I ever had of MY OWN were Madonna and Roxette tapes when I was 5....don't know which one I got first. The first one I went and bought myself was Misfits, Walk Among Us

i have a couple of his but i never really got into him ... cat scratch fever was a fun song but he never really clicked with me ..

[surfnazi]

Hmm...hmmm....what was my first album?

I believe it was either Santana's self titled debut, or a best of by the Beach Boys.

[massacre man]

other than the cartoon soundtracks from when i was younger i think it was Slim Shady LP

Too easy I'll leave that one alone.

So I'm lying because AC/DC was one of the first albums I owned. What the fuck?

[urgeok]

i would be proud if ACDC were my first albums ..

1) because that would make me 15 - 20 years younger

2) because they are a great fucking rock and roll band !!!

[Elvis_Christ]

Great fucking band. Powerage is their best album in my opinon. I love the songs Kicked in the Teeth and Downpayment Blues.

[The Mothman]

ya if Rolling Stones weren't my first album I bought, i would'a prolly wanted to get AC/DC.

[Elvis_Christ]

I'd always listen to their best of Rolled Gold when I was kid.

[azathoth777]

My first was, as much as I may hate to admit it, Guns N' Roses- Lies back in Junior High. So much has changed....

[RoLLiNLiGhTs]

G-N-R rocks!!! No reason to be ashamed of buying any of their music..... My first tape was Iron Maiden-Seventh son of a seventh son....awsome tape...still listen to it....:cool:

[g star]

i can't possibly be the only person in here whose first album was MJ's thriller. come on, speak up.

[RavageRitual]

This is gonna sound stupid but uh bactstreet boys, I sang larger than life for a talent show in elementary school. I was a messed up kid. Now im into death/grind/metal, whodah thought?

[MoonLit Meadow]

Though I'm ashamed now...I will admit...."MTV Party to Go Vol. 3" ;)

[MisterSadistro]

KISS 'Alive II'. I distinctly remeber 2 older kids thinking it was 'Sesame Street Fever' through the bag and I was furious LOL. Wish I still had the temp tattoos that came with it. Likely worth a fortune now.

[nine9]

The Beatles HELP. I was pretty pissed off that they were already broken up by the time I finally got into them.
:(

[bwind22]

Okay, well before I fess up to my first album, I should explain that when I was younger my parents were very controlling of what I could listen to.

That being said, the first tape I ever owned was Eric Carmen. He sang that really sappy song in the 80's. I don't recall the title, but the lyrics were like...

"Turn the radio up... For that sweet sound.
Hold me close, never let me goooo...
Keep the spirit alive, etc, etc..."

Suuuuper sappy. I'm pretty ashamed of it.

Shortly after that I bought Arrested Development's first tape and Will Smith 'He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper'.

First 2 CDs I ever bought were Green Day, Dookie and Counting Crows, August and Everything After, both of which I still have and listen to. (I was a little behind the trend on the getting a CD player.)

Anyways, yeah... Because of over-controlling parents, my earliest voyages into music pretty much sucked. I like to think my taste in tunes has improved since then.

[AUSTIN316426808]

The first album I ever owned was one of the many Best of Sinatra cds....I was listening to some Aqua sounding shit and my dad asked me if I wanted to hear some real music and jokingly I said ''what?...Frank Sinatra?"....yada yada yada I listened to a bit of it with him, liked it and he let me have it.


The first album I ever bought was Dave Matthews Band- Under the Table and Dreaming.

my kids gonna have the opposite problem ...
they play dance shit at his daycare so we counter it with rock and roll at home.

he's been digging an old 80's CD lately and loves the song Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles (and Gary Newmans : Cars)

[zomb5150]

My first one was: Bon Jovi - slippery when wet
