Jock Rock vol. 1 was the first CD I ever got. I think the first album I ever bought was Queen's Greatest Hits.

 

[SillyEskimo]

Btw, love all the Weird Al in this thread, lol.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I think we have this thread every year.

Yeah, don't think it's even been a year since the last one. Kind of fun thread, outside of the fact there's really very little discussion in these types of threads.

Got that hip hop phase out of my system

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

I don't know if this can be beat. The debut album and magnum opus of Australian Idol runner-up Shannon Noll.

Man, I still love Bring it all Back.

Green, black and blue, make the colours in the sky...

 

[To Far Away Times]

The first album I ever had was No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom (on cassette tape).

Could have done worse I guess.

First one I ever bought with my own money was the Backstreet Boys album.

Yeah...

 

[Silkworm]

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure it was "View from the Ground" by America. Though it also might have been "The Stranger" by Billy Joel or maybe even "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" by Oliva-Newton John. All were purchased on cassette tape of course

 

[The Technomancer]

No shame here.

 

[Jezabel]

not my finest moment

 

[speculawyer]

I am pretty sure it is this. I regret nothing.

 

[injurai]

not my finest moment

Millenium was better. But I did have this one too.

 

[AceOcelot]

 

[industrian]

The very first CD I remember buying was this:

I watched that movie about a million times when I was a kid.

 

[sans_pants]

loved it. now all i listen to is rap

 

[injurai]

So good. This probably was my first.

I really don't remember when I started listening to music that wasn't my parents.

 

[Devil Theory]

My choice was perfection.

 

[demon]

So much Weird Al in this thread, lol.

 

[MrPing1000]

I'm sure I had a bunch of shit when I was under the age of reason, but the first album I went and bought myself was. (After first listening to my mum's Nevermind)

No regrets.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

The first album I bought with my own money? I think it was this.

I don't really know why though, I guess I was just caught up in the hype of the movie and thought the music would be fucking epic because fuck yeah dinosaurs. I didn't really expect an album of classical music, so I was bitterly disappointed when I got it. In hindsight, it's actually a really good score by John Williams.

1993.

/hangs head in shame

Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a fine pop album, although I prefer the follow-up. The next two albums, however... At least The Golden Ratio was a return to form.

No need to hang you head. Ace of Base was the 90's ABBA ;-)

 

[Yaboosh]

I want to say it was Pearl Jam Ten.

 

[Ramblin]

1993.

/hangs head in shame

At least you're being honest, I doubt some of these first purchases.

 

[AceOcelot]

1993.

/hangs head in shame

good first buy actually. just listening to it the other day lol

 

[HallucinatingElvis]

I still listen to this regularly nearly 30 years later

 

[hoss]

 

[Kilgore Trout]

 

[water_wendi]

/hangs head in shame

Whats wrong with that?

 

[disappeared]

Yup. Bought it on cassette.

 

[gabbo]

First cd I ever bought. Didn't even own a cd player at the time, and used the cdrom drive in my family's computer to liten to it.

 

[Giard]

Yup.

Pretty sure that's mine too.

 

[revolverjgw]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack on pink cassette

 

[8BitsAtATime]

First Tape - RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magik 
First Cd - White Zombie La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1
First Vinyl - J Dilla Donuts

 

[Verdre]

Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family

Still listen to it.

 

[Pre]

Bought it when I was 12 after my brother introduced me to the band. Still have the copy and it's probably my favorite Pearl Jam album (in a close contest with No Code).

 

[megarockexe]

Embarrassing music purchases? Well that also happens to be my one and only album purchase.

*sigh* Technically I bought it for someone else but it was a much necessary introduction to music for me since I was already several years behind everyone else.

 

[jediyoshi]

My man.

 

[blame space]

one time I made my dad take me to walmart to get pokemon cards. turns out they were out of pokemon cards, so I made him buy me the soundtrack to the pokemon movie, which included a limited edition pokemon card.

I'm pretty sure I put the CD in on the way home. he never looked at me the same way again.

EDIT god DAMNIT I didn't even see the post before mine. we all deserve each other.

 

[FelixOrion]

I'm still blue

I still have it too.
