We just had a post about the most recent CD you've purchased. So I was trying to remember what was the first album I bought. I think it was Hotel California, but I'm having a hard time remembering. I have no idea what my first CD was. Childbirth messes with memory cells.

Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue

I was young and needed the money

[davesimondotcom]

My first album, I'm not sure about. I do remember I had the Queen 45 of "Another One Bites the Dust" with "Don't Try Suicide" on the B side. But full album, I'm really not sure.

My first CDs I bought (bought two when I got my first CD player) were EPMD's Strictly Business and Ice-T's Power. In those big cardboard boxes with the full cover art on them. For a while, I kept all of those and put them up on the wall in my room. Then they went to the plastic holders and it wasn't nearly as much waste.

First album: Styx: Best of

First cd(s): AC/DC: Back in Black and Motley Crue: Dr. Feelgood

[an0therdumbsn]

[cjrivera]

First CD bought in 1985:


to be played on this...


I bought it to use in my car back then, but found out the anti-skip technology was worthless and virtually unusable in a moving car. It also sucked down like 8-10 C or D batteries for 2 or 3 hours of use.

[saddino]

First album:
either Journey (Escape), or Men At Work (Business As Usual); can't remember

First CDs:
(none of these were new releases; I was just replacing some favorite vinyl):
REM (Fables of the Reconstruction)
U2 (The Unforgettable Fire)
Squeeze (Singles)
The Police (Ghost in the Machine)
Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon)

[ReggieX]

First CD was The Police's "Outlandos D'amour," 1988.

[ghporter]

It was Elton John's Caribou, and I bought it particularly for the single "Ticking." Listen to it some time; it's still very appropriate today.

After that, I bought Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. About three weeks after that, in fact.

I graduated to The Eagles, starting with Hotel California

with side-trips to some Broadway albums like Hair.

That first album is really just a gateway into a really serious addiction!

[effgee]

vinyl ... (insert Methusalem's beard here ->) (<-)

[mitchell_pgh]

Funny how many MacNNers gravitated to the harder stuff.

well...

[lavar78]

The first record I remember owning:

[euphras]

I really can´t recall exactly but among my very first vinyls were

Land of Confusion - Genesis
Return to France - Mike Oldfield
Gaudi - Alan Parsons Project



I can recall exactly my first CD:

Tales of Mystery and Imagination (the digital remastered version)

...still have the vinyl (bought it in '79)

[jcadam]

On cassette, baby (vinyl was before my time, and I killed the last operating 8-track player in the house by shoving a pb&j sandwich into the 8-track slot on my dad's radio/LP/8-track Sony multi-deck).

[CreepingDeth]

Me?


Well, I used to listen to Savage alot, and he played alot of Metallica (I think he even talked to Hetfield once), so I was like, "Hey, I like this ****." Which was a first, cuz I was never really into music. I forgot when it was actually. Nicely restored image, eh?

My first vinyl…


Bought it two or three weeks ago. I was at the used CD place (only record store with good stuff), and I saw it on the wall. It was in such I nice condition. I even has the little sleeves with the pictures of other albums on that label, like Trilogy (ELP) and Houses Of The Holy (Led Zep). Now I collect vinyl.

For those of you who don't know, At The Fillmore East is probably the greatest live album ever. The only ones that come close are Band Of Gypsys, by Hendrix, How The West Was Won, by Zeppelin, and (the second greatest) Made In Japan, by Deep Purple. Blows Live At Leeds away, in my opinion.

Nothing against KISS of course, they've done some good music... I just noticed this on these two album covers.

Ahhh, oldest Rock album I own. Well, maybe some Yardbirds and Beatles singles, but that doesn't count.
The oldest one in any genre is probably Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's.

[lavar78]

I don't have a credit card and I can't find it anywhere. You know record stores…15 Hillary Duff CD's, 0 Jeff Beck. Not a very good place to look for stuff that doesn't suck.

Some compilation CD... Smash Hits '95 or something.

All of the big chains have it here (Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.).

[Hawkeye_a]

Baught it in 1990, and still listen to it on occasion. Springsteen rules
