What Was The First Album You Bought?
 

Yes, album. If you young pups want to list the first CD/iTune/whatever, you bought first, I suppose that's okay.

I'll go first: the soundtrack to Escape From New York. Awesome.

Frampton Comes Alive

Aerosmith's Greatest Hits....

Red cover....

Busta Rhymes... When Disaster Strikes

Nevermind.

Houses of the Holy

2nd Album was Who's next.

Come to think of it, almost all of my early purchases were soundtracks:

Rumble Fish (Stewart Copeland)
Weird Science
The Man With One Red Shoe (loved that, and I think the musician is the same one who did American Beauty).
The Right Stuff
Conan the Barbarian

Actually, I remember buying the Space Jam soundtrack with some money my dad gave me waaaay before Nevermind. I still believe I can fly.

It's embarrassing now, but WTF, I was young. The Partridge Family's debut.

Oh, and the greatest stroundtrack of all time: The Last Temptation of Christ (Peter Gabriel). That was my penultimate purchase, then Tool's Aenima. I haven't gotten any new music since then.

I don't remember exactly. I think maybe Screaming for Vengeance on cassette. The first thing I owned though was Journey's "Frontiers". I won it off the radio along with tickets to a Journey concert. Bryan Adams was the opening act.

George Carlin's "7 dirty words"
Back in Black

Is that a soundtrack?

Yes, the soundtrack of my 11th year of life.

Bleach.

we sold our souls for rock n roll

LMAO

I know that Frampton Comes Alive is considered great and a lot of people love it, but when I was a kid and I would hear songs from it I would think it was the worst, most boring stuff ever.

ST - Join The Army

I think the first record I ever bought on cassette tape was (I'm pretty sure) Weird Al Yakovic's In 3-D.

The first CD I bought was The Adventures of MC Skat Kat and the Stray Mob, which I purchased along with the Wayne's World Soundtrack. Cashier rang up Skat Kat first, so it gets to live in my history as the 1st CD I purchased. Awesome.

The first vinyl album I bought for myself was Pear Jam's No Code. This was in 2000. My girlfriend (at the time) bought me a turn-table and Pearl Jam's Ten-Vitalogy on vinyl as a gift.

Its a tie, actually:
Pearl Jam
Ten

Soundgarden
Superunknown

Olivia Newton John- Physical

This was also my first Album. Or Cassette I should say. I also purchased Tupac's Makavelli album around that time.

Can't remember which i got first, actually.

Ride the Lightning. DUH

are we talking music album? I see alot of Rap in here.

My best friend growing up had that t-shirt when we were kids. I'd follow him around and stare at it all day when he wore it. Too bad that album kinda sucked.

With my own $$ was in 1972, Steely Dan Can't buy a Thrill. Still one of my favorite albums ever. Jeff Baxter was a seriously underrated guitarist.

The first full album I downloaded from iTunes was the Once: Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Deep Purple - Machine Head

I bought it second hand in a thrift store in Springfield, MO.

Led Zep soundtrack The Song Remains the Same

Journey "Escape" and Huey Lewis and the News "Picture This."

Gee, and I wonder why you like Rush. :D

The first album of theirs I bought was this:

I'd listen to Xanadu over and over while thumbing through my baseball card collection or drawing medieval characters...I just loved that song.

Damn...helluva start there on that music collection of yours. :thumb:

I joined Columbia House when I was like 12 or something; so I'm not sure WTF I bought. I bought a lot of CD's over the course of two years though, I know that.

That's funny.

I don't remember what the first one was I ever bought with my own money, but I know the first one I ever had was this:

My dad gave it to me for my 11th birthday in 1979, and I still have it to this day.

That album brings back great memories of that summer. There wasn't a single day that KY-102 didn't play either "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Show Me the Way", or "Do You Feel Like I Do?" On the rare occasion, you might here "Lines on My Face" or whatever that song was.

I think that was the summer I gravitated from those K-Tel records and started getting into rock. I was just a little boy who went to the country club pool every day and those hot teenage lifeguard girls would jam KY-102 over the loudspeaker and you could pretty much count on one of Frampton's songs being played within the hour. Great memories. And I love how a song and/or an album can renew those fond memories of our youths.

Kansas - Point of No Return


Sad part is that I bought it for Dust in the Wind, probably the mellowest song on the album. It wasn't long before I preferred Carry on Wayward Son (been my "theme" song ever since) and Portrait (He Knew) and would skip over Dust.

What was the name of that record shop on the west side of Antioch Road, just south of 95th Street? And, is it still there?

This was no surprise :D

I think BTO would have been the 2nd and 3rd albums I bought. Loved BTO in the day.

Tiger's Records

That's where I bought all of my first albums. It used to upset my dad when I'd return home from Tiger's with an armful of records. Bought my first concert tickets there too.

I can never hear "Smoke on the Water" and not be taken back my adolescence and the teen dances that would be held by the pool at the YMCA. In the early to mid 70's there was some sort of rule requiring every local band to play that song. Some nights more than once.

Really? I thought it was Streetside or something similar.

Not since "Tiger" was found dismembered in the trunk of his car.

The reason why Tiger's was so cheap versus Peaches Records ($4.99 versus $7.99 at the time) is because Tiger was Mafia and those records were stolen.

These jewels where my first purchase on album:

Streetside is and to my knowledge, has always been in Westport.

7th Heaven used to be a great place as well.

Oh, that's right...Streetside was there too. Forgot about that. Tiger's was on the east side of Antioch and when it closed, Streetside took over on the west side of Antioch, now that I remember it.

I used to stop by the Taco Via' for lunch whenever I bought albums from either of those stores. God, I loved that little joint. :D

I was there last summer as a matter of fact. I recognized that gal with the curly hair and my brother was there with me and I said to my brother, "Uhhh, Bob...I think that's the same gal who used to work here when we were kids." He didn't believe me, so we asked her, and sure enough, that gal had been working at the Taco Via' since it opened in the early 70's!!! We were floored.

Love Garden in Lawrence is still one of my favs.

The first one I bought was myself was Motley Crue,I think it was Live Wire.

The Cars - Candy-o
Queen
Kiss - Destroyer

Yep...that's why my father was so opposed to me buying my records at Tiger's. He claimed I was supporting the mafia, and I argued I was getting more bang for the buck! :D

Counting the first album that I bought with my own money, then it would be Opeth's Damnation. (Six of the songs at least, I used Itunes, explaining how I acquired the album on a partial basis.)

I think it was a Queen greatest hits album.

There was a Streetside at 95th and Antioch? I'm sure you guys are right, I just can't picture it or remember it for some reason.

I definitely remember the Westport location because the manager was a redheaded hottie that I used to hang out with back in the day.

:drool:

not as embarrassing as 'significant other' by limp bizkit. 'nookie' was a hUUUUUUUGe radio hit, and nobody in middle america knew fred durst was a grade-a assclown. I had loved 'three dollar bill, y'all' by limp, and in honesty, s.o. was a decent album. however, I prefer my second album MUCH more these days (it's lasted the test of time)... korn, self-titled debut.

Now you guys went and made Let it Ride get stuck in my head.

I bought my first album at Tigers. One of the last great mafia hits in KC.
