What was the first album (CD, tape, 8-track, etc) you ever bought? Not the first given to you, stolen, or that you copied from a friend. What was the first music you actually spent money on? What format?
hell if i know. it was definitely something very MTV'd up for sure though.
as for the first purchase that actually mattered, twas Megadeth's Cryptic Writings. that sort've kicked off the whole metalhead phase. well, that and buying a guitar
