What was the first album you ever owned?

[Lord Foul]

I'm curious to see what started people out on their musical journey. Post the first cd/cassette/8-track/vinyl/reel-to-reel you ever bought or had purchased for you.

Mine was:

(Top Gun Soundtrack on Cassette for those who can't see the image)

 

[Souls of Black]

Led Zepplin I

 

[El Stormo]

A Night at the Opera.

 

[Shpongled]

Broken Web Images was my 3rd album.

 

[CrackedKnäckebröd]

the first album that I owned was a Best of Kiss CD... Greatest Kiss, I believe it was called. The first album I actually BOUGHT was Backyard Babies - "Total 13" (Swedish punk/sleaze/whatever). I was around 7 yrs old, so how the fuck I could afford it, I don't know... I know my mum wasn't too happy with the direction my taste in music was heading, at least..

 

[Anvil]

Metallica - ...And Justice For all

second:
Michael Jackson - Dangerous

My parents bought me KISS ALIVE 1 when I was 8 years old along with a crappy record player for Xmas, and I was happy as could be!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I think Beastie Boys - License to Ill.

 

[azal]

either thriller or a chipmunk christmas

 

[~Lynn~]

Van Halen 2 I think.

 

[pwd]

Dying Fetus - Stop at Nothing ... naw just kidding:


1st actual release I owned that wasn't a mix tape etc...

Dance mix '96 TAPE

then:
Bush-X - Razorblade Suicase TAPE
No Doubt - (I forget the album name, but the one with a rotten peach tree on it or something) TAPE
Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe CD
Our Lady Peace - Naveed CD

Then I slowly began discovering metal and have been buying releases at an almost exponential rate. For the record, I was born in '88.

Is this first album you ever got or bought? If it's got... It's Jimi Hendrix Gold Collection. If it's bought; ZOP (I know, I'm a late bloomer on that authentic front).

 

[Screaming Mad Dee]

Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits

 

[Super Mahrio]

I really dont know. i think it was an Elton John tape but i dont remember the name of it.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Haha I think it was the first Spice Girls cd. I was an elementary school girl in the late 90s... I didn't really have a choice.

But I know the first metal album I bought was Defenders of the Faith.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Kiss - Dynasty on cassette. I was threeish/fourish and wanted a Kiss album to call my own dammit, as I was otherwise only able to listen to the records that belonged to my brother. He stole the tape from me though

 

[Dead Winter]

Foreigner - 4

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

A Smashmouth album when I was 11 or so. Not the one with All Star on it, it came before that.
