What is the first CD you ever bought...

[MadeInNewJersey]

If we're talking cassettes or LPs, the first several I owned (not sure of order) were:

Black Sabbath - Masters of Reality
AC/DC - Back In Black
Billy Joel - Songs From the Attic
Devo - Whip It (or the album with "Whip It")
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Grease soundtrack

first tape: dire straits brothers in arms - no longer exists
first cd: probably rush exit stage left - would still listen to it if it wasnt scratched all to hell

 

[Krilons Resa]

Don't remember if I bought it, or it was bought for me, but the first CD I ever owned was by a little-known band called The The, can't recall the name of the album, and no, I don't have it anymore.

I saw that in the used bin today!!! I saw "THE THE" and literally said to myself "WTF"

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

I must've sold it to them when I was 16 and there it's sat for 16 years.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

Korn - Follow the leader
I was only about 10 or 11 at the time saved up for ages.
one of my old mates stole it off me, the prick

First 8-track I owned was Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy. First vinyl was Puttin' on the Ritz. First tape was either Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill or Michael Jackson - Bad.

 

[dorian gray]

puttin on the ritz. awesome. i remember that. sometimes it pops into my head and im like WTF?!?!?!

 

[NAD]

Dude. Young Frankenstein. Oh yes.

 

[dorian gray]

whats young frankenstein have to do with it? was it on the sountrack or something? i just remember hearing the song and eating at a restaurant called "the ritz". i would get the two confused because i was like 8 or something.

 

[Disgustipated]

A few pop compilations when I was 10 years old. Then for my 12th Birthday I got Metallica - Kill 'Em All.

 

[Krilons Resa]

First 8-track I owned was Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy. First vinyl was Puttin' on the Ritz. First tape was either Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill or Michael Jackson - Bad.

Licensed To Ill was my 2nd tape after BAD. We rule.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

The fact that you owned/own Bad means you dont rule

 

[Krilons Resa]

Nigguh please. You weren't cool if you didn't own BAD back then.

BTW, it is "owned." lol

 

[J.]

Metallica - Metallica (Black Album)

No I do not still have it. No, I do not care.

 

[NAD]

Nigguh please. You weren't cool if you didn't own BAD back then.

See? This man knows the drill.

 

[BenMech]

I dubbed it onto then blank cassette, so I still kinda have it.

my first metal cassette was Tallica's &J4A. My first metal cd was maybe Primus's Pork Soda? or Queensryche's Promised Land

 

[jimbobhickville]

You have to be joking. You can't believe for how long i was searching for it..and i still haven't found it anywhere. Damn...

Nope, not joking. I got my first CD player in '91 and went out and bought this one based on the video on Headbanger's Ball. Still own it, though I did get rid of the less consistent 'Uncertain Future' a while back (which I regret because it's hella-rare now, or was a few years ago). You need a CDR copy of it?

 

[dill_the_devil]

Whoa, that actually looks like mine (and everyone else's) dingy ass cover. Yes I still have it. Don't listen often, but Through the Never is still some awesome shitz.

PS: I owned tapes, vinyls, and 8-tracks before this CD.

My first CD was the very same thing. I gave it away a couple of years ago, but I can't think why the fuck I did it, since Wherever I May Roam, Through The Never and My Friend Of Misery still rock hard.

 

[AsModEe]

Megadeth - Rust in Peace

 

[Demilich]

Devo - Whip It (or the album with "Whip It")

that song is hi-GODDAMN-larious canadian robot rock! a big inspiration for Queens of the Stone Age i think
