First Album You Bought

[Wiiman95]

What is the very first album you bought/received/stole?

I am VERY ashamed to admit that the first album I received was N*Sync - No Strings Attatched.
First one I bought with my money: All The Pain Money Can Buy - Fastball. It's now my all-time Favorite album.
First album I stole: Steal This Album - SOAD. Not kidding. I was in Wal-Mart with my mom. I saw this album, picked it up, and we left the store. Surprisingly, the alarm didn't go off. 0_o

[CyanFunk]

The Essential Bob Dylan was the first album I bought with my own money. I was swiping from my mom's collection before that.

[TheCoolGuy]

With my own money, I bought my first two albums at the same time: American Idiot by Green Day and Move Along by All-American Rejects. I regret both purchases.

[Mega-Tallica]

Infest by Papa Roach

I pretty much stole it from my aunt :p

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Given to me - Nickelback - Silver Side Up Yeah...

Bought - Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

[neckermanncj]

Muse - Origin of Symmetry

great first album purchase if you ask me!!!! :D

[Mega-Tallica]

The first album I actually bought was Taproot's Welcome.

Kind of a weird first album purchase, but I really liked the songs "Poem" and "Mine" at the time.

[sonicnerd23]

With my own money? High Voltage by AC/DC. And I still don't regret it.

[supernova1324]

The Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters was the first album I bought with my own money.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Shout At The Devil, Whitesnake, 1984, Appetite For Destruction, and Stay Hungry were the first albums I bought with my own money.

[Jglaubman]

I think it was Now That's What I Call Music Volume 2....
I would rather not share my first band specific album I bought. Let's just say I sucked as a kid.

[MistressD]

Oh, boy, this is gonna date me, but the first cassette I bought for myself was "Starship", the album with "We Built this City" on it. I also had "New Kids on the Block" and Paula Abdul.

[Lameboy19]

I'm almost positive that the first album I bought was Millennium by the Backstreet Boys (it might of been the one before that)

then I traded burnt discs of scene band with my friends during middle school (From First To Last EP's, Silverstien EP's)

then about Sophmore year of high school I stopped CD's entirely, and um... digitally obtained albums that I wanted to check out

[Stinger503]

Dark Side of the Moon

[Kenny-Band]

Magical Mystery Tour [2009 Re-Master]

I know, I have been living under a rock.

[hiimSMAP]

Sam's Town- The Killers. Still awesome.

[nascarfan19]

the first album i recieved was probably a children's album :p

no, it was Guns n' Roses Greatest Hits

i don't think i've ever bought a CD, i just borrow them from the library and upload them to iTunes

[TheNew]

Moving Pictures - Rush.

A great first album

[Supersneezy00]

Boston's 1976 album, "Boston".

[LegendofRock3021]

The first album I bought was Wolfmother's s/t debut about 3 years ago.

[Soror_YZBL]

Kiss - Hotter than Hell. My second was Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell. If there were other albums in the 70's with the word Hell in them, I likely owned that as well. I got it at K-mart. That's all I remember, it was a long time ago people.

[back_blows]

With my own money, Cannibal Corpse - Eaten Back to Life. With my dad's money, The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds.

[a21schizoidman]

first album that i remember buying with my own money was AC/DC's Back In Black, though at the same time i was buying the Rolling Stone's Forty Licks, i was in middle school

[Rocket2Russia]

First I bought with my own money was the Peel Slowly and See box set, but I had gotten a few from family (Gorillaz - Demon Days, The Beatles - 1, a couple other greatest hits albums) and swiped a few (TMBG -Flood, Femmes' s/t...) and been given burned copies of a bunch of Led Zeppelin and Green Day stuff.

[overcookedbacon]

First album I bought was The Bends by Radiohead... I think. Either that or What's The Story (Morning Glory) by Oasis. I can't remember for sure.

[XacharyCross]

I kind of took on possession of my mom's Queen : Greatest Hits, Meatloaf Bat Out of Hell, and her boyfriend of the time's Appetite for Destruction.

Around age seven, I inherited my uncle's LP collection, including all the Zeppelins, Sabbath, Pink Floyd, and other stuff in the Hard Rock/Early Metal zone.

The first CD's I bought (at the same time) ere "Naveed" and "ClumsY" by Our Lady Peace, which are still pretty high ranking in my favorites (Unfortunately, the band went on a nose dive after those two)

[berkthgar]

First album I ever bought with my own money was Lostprophets - Start Something, and it's still one of my favourite albums of all time :)

[CloudWolf]

I believe the first album I bought was Nevermind.

[Dikarika]

I think my first gift album (of real music, not holiday stuff), was Beastie Boys - License to Ill.

First bought was NIN - Broken

Favorite album in my collection - Signed copy of DC Ska-pilation signed by the guys in "The Decepticonz"

[zack10house]

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory was the first I bought

[tridentgum0]

Green Day - American Idiot

Let's just say the album title aptly describes me.

[Vampire-Jekyll]

I have WAY too many cd's to remember what one I bought first. Maybe Three Cheers for sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance but I HIGHLY doubt it.

[madcapmatt]

I think mine was The Sickness by Disturbed.

[macdaddy3598]

Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue on cassette. Remember those?

[guitarjacked]

Appetite for Destruction - GnR

[Rommel]

I don't regret it.

[LegendofRock3021]

Agreed, one of Maiden's best.

[ElementX]

I haven't bought any, but the first album my brother bought, was an album of Backstreet Boys.. but they aren't really a rock band, right?

[cobycleve33]

Given: Insomniac - Green Day
Bought: The Presidents of the United States of America - The Presidents of the United States of America

[Rocket2Russia]

I haven't bought any, but the first album my brother bought, was an album of Backstreet Boys.. but they aren't really a rock band, right?

Michael Jackson was a pop artist, and one of his is the best-selling album of all time. Being a non-rock band doesn't make your album cease to be an album.

[Sir_Phobos]

Stone Temple Pilots - Purple

[marcfromns]

Weird Al Yankovic - Straight Outta Lynwood (cant believe i bought it)

[Rocket2Russia]

Weird Al Yankovic - Straight Outta Lynwood (cant believe i bought it)

If you really dislike it, you can always mail it to me!

N*Sync- Celebrity when I was around 8. Damn nickelodeon and their commercials for albums.

[CEEDZ13]

first album I:
stole- Kill 'Em All- Metallica
bought-Issues- Korn

[xX_Sandman_Xx]

It's hard to remember that far back b/c I was only a little kid, but I think it may have been Gravity Kills self titled album. Gr8 band!

[n4sc4r]

My first purchase was the Black Eyed Peas' "Elephunk", and no, I'm not ashamed for purchasing it.

[ZurkonTheDestroyer]

Bostons by Boston :cool:

The first album I bought at the tender age of twelve was No Prayer for the Dying by Iron Maiden, although I already owned quite a bit of music on tape (mostly Maiden and Queen) that I had copied from friends.

[elitemastersam]

Dookie, I think.

[cdestey]

[Canned_Promise]

My mom gave me Slippery When Wet.

Listened to it for months and months.

[Grimman_Dark]

I think the very, veeeeery first album I got as a gift was Thriller.

The first one I got with my own money is The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie.

[ThePaska]

The first album I actually ever bought was Incesticide by Nirvana

[TheRollingBones]

My mom gave me Slippery When Wet.


I don't know, maybe it's just me, but something about that just sounds really, really nasty.

[TeamAliceFTW]

The first i owned was Garage Inc., which my cousin gave me when I was 6. The first I bought was Absolution.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but something about that just sounds really, really nasty.

You're not the only one, lol. :D

[TheRollingBones]

The first i owned was Garage Inc., which my cousin gave me when I was 6. The first I bought was Absolution.

You were listening to Metallica when you were 6? I wonder how that turned out for you...

[MrFruitLord]

Some Nsync album.

[CaptainKicker]

My first album was by Humleridderne, and the album was called "Malerhjerne". Danish music lol.

Translated the band is.. Hops Knight and the title is "PaintBrain".

[Skittles]

Linkin Park - Meteora (2003)
hey, I was 12 at the time

[alex_rb]

The first album that I actually bought with my own money was either Jimmy Eat World Futures or Green Day American Idiot. I can't remember which one I bought first, but yea I still enjoy listening to them from time to time. Futures is not bad at all.

[BtHMv2]

I bought Insomniac by Green Day and The Beavis & Butthead Experience album at the same time... I think I was 14 or 15 at the time...

[elfreako]

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - I Love Rock n' Roll

I was four :D

[gintoki55]

The first album that I bought with my own money was Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head".

Before that, I had always asked my parents to get me the generic popular music from the time- NSync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Spice Girls, etc.

[howieduen]

The first CD I ever received was Weezer's blue album. I'm not sure if I bought it or not, I think it may have been a gift.

[howieduen]

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but something about that just sounds really, really nasty.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing.

[KoLoppo]

Nevermind.

Yeah.

[Tobz21]

(what's the story) morning glory.

still one of my all time favourite albums, well done oasis

[TheRollingBones]

(what's the story) morning glory.

still one of my all time favourite albums, well done oasis

THANK YOU! Some appreciation for one of the best albums of the 90's! Way too much hatred for Oasis on these forums...

[Jerkinator]

Gulp...

Kid Rock - Devil Without a Cause

first album i actually fell in love with- Master of Puppets, which slowly lead to every other metallica album

[UncleSaltyTaterChips]

"Nevermind". Bring on the critics!

[Rimbaud]

I think it may have been a David Bowie album, way back in 85.

I've long since sold off most of my rock collection, concentrating instead on jazz/funk/soul and various permutations thereof.

[FujiSkunk]

Having grown up in the '80s, I bought a lot of 45rpm singles while growing up. But the very first full-length albums I bought by myself with my own money were Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down and Queen's original greatest hits compilation. They're both still in my collection.

[XxxadxxX]

Also a product of the 80's. I remember Rick James's full album. (stole it from my older sister)

[krisko]

I'm trying to remember, but it's hard:

Recieved: Lion King Soundtrack
Bought: The Moody Blues- To Our Children's Children's Children (age 10)

[Erikus Maximus]

I bought two at the same time:
Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

[Rockox]

First tape: Wham! - Make it Big
First CD: Elliot Goldenthal - Alien 3 soundtrack

[benson111]

Black Sabbath - Paranoid.

[FujiSkunk]

Bought: The Moody Blues- To Our Children's Children's Children (age 10)

You were into the Moody Blues at age 10 in the 1990s?

Geek. :)

But then, so am I. "The Voice" was one of my first 45s, back when when I was six or seven.

[Sammi Curr]

Motley Crue-Shout at the Devil (first tape)
Armored Saint-Raising Fear (first LP)

[Bob McGinty]

First album I bought (that I still own) was Americana by The Offspring, aged 9. Before I bought it I had only really listened to pop music on the radio (no rock radio where I live), and when Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) became really popular it caught my attention. I bought the album a few months later, and it's probably the reason I mainly listen to the music I do nowadays.

First album I received: "What Hits?!" -Red Hot Chili Peppers
First album purchased: "Against the Grain" -Bad Religion

[JoyDivision]

"Dookie" -Green Day

[Elegy]

My first CD that came into my possession was No Strings Attached by N*Sync. Yeah. Suck it. haha

First CD that I consciously bought? American Idiot. (Feels some animosity for that coming. But to quote Justin Bieber, and get even more flammage, bring the doubters on, they don't matter at all)

[omgtkkyb1992]

[ylowbstard]

First album I got as a gift was THE BACKSTREET BOYS' debut.

First albums I bought with my own money were THE BENDS (Radiohead) and GARBAGE (Garbage obviously) on the same day. Radiohead and Garbage are still two of my favorite bands, and these two albums are still (imo) each band's best work!

To date, I haven't stolen any albums... but I did download CHINESE DEMOCRACY if that counts :) Was a good thing too since I really hated it.

[BohemianMatt]

I remember my first few music purchases were at the music stores Tower Records and Sam Goody. Both are now long dead and buried. Damn you iTunes! (and other digital downloadery!)

[IronBridge]

The first Album I bought with my own money was The Beatles White album.....that was a Long, Long, Long time ago

First CD was Peter Gabriel, So

First Tape was Black Sabbath, Black sabbath

[opethian]

My first album was Metallica's Black Album, which I picked up on cassette in '93. My first CD was Faith No More's "King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime", which I picked up in June of '96 (I remember the month because I bought it with birthday money).

The first and last album I stole was a cassette of Iron Maiden's "Fear of the Dark". Maybe I shouldn't mention that one. :o

[Buffdog18]

Ozzy Osbourne's "No More Tears".

[KEWB]

Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits. No I'm not joking.

[antdogs]

i bought The Roots - things fall apart.. and bone thugs N Harmony.. does hip hop count here lol and limp bizkit as "rock album" didnt get into rock until about early 2000s

[citizenCERO]

First album I ever bought was Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have It So Much Better on CD back in... 2005, I think.
Still one of my favorite albums.

[darkwinterbeast8]

The first album I bought with money that wasn't a gift (which counts as given to me)...

I bought 4 albums at the same time. They were:

Metallica-Ride The Lightning
Metallica-Master Of Puppets
White Zombie-La Sexorcisto..
Pantera-The Great Southern Trendkill

[Meatwad555]

With my own money?

Sylosis - Conclusion Of An Age

[Dante1847]

it was either Jagged Little Pill or Nevermind on cassette; want to say it was the latter, since I remember specifically buying it in this quaint record store in Burlington, Vermont. On CD, Im pretty sure it was DMB's Crash, though that nagging little voice in my head that wants to cry in shame keeps telling me it was actually Ace of Base's The Sign

[FujiSkunk]

...though that nagging little voice in my head that wants to cry in shame keeps telling me it was actually Ace of Base's The Sign

Nothing shameful about liking a group that just happened to specialize in Eurodance but actually wrote their own songs, did their own production, and even cared about their art long after the spotlight had faded. If you haven't yet, check out their second album, The Bridge, some time. It is easily one of the best pop albums of the '90s, in my humble opinion.

[afterstasis]

ace of base had some good tunes.

[DrowGamer77]

My first purchase was two tapes.
1.) Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em - MC Hammer
2.) Hysteria - Def Leppard

Def Leppard got way more attention from my tape deck.

My first CD purchase was Pantera's Far Beyond Driven.

[TheRollingBones]

Don't remember if I posted here yet. The first ones I was given were Sgt. Pepper's, and Death Cab For Cutie's Transatlanticism. First ones I bought were Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits and Bee Gees' Their Greatest Hits: The Record.

[swet07]

The First album i bought was P.O.D.'s-Satellite

[geodeleo]

no more tears on cassette and far beyond driven on cd

[Dante1847]

god bless you all. I can look myself in the mirror again

[hiimSMAP]

Ace of Base was great.

[Dante1847]

Ace of Base was great.

at the time, maybe....in retrospect--let's be honest--no....though I strangely still find myself listening to "Happy Nation" occasionally.

damn Swedes

[FujiSkunk]

at the time, maybe....in retrospect--let's be honest--no...

I am being honest, and I still say listen to The Bridge if you haven't already. Songs like "Ravine," "Experience Pearls," "Wave Wet Sand," and "My Déjà Vu" are concrete proof you should never judge a band simply by what made the charts.

[Dante1847]

fair enough, though I never looked at the charts. was merely judging the album now based on my current orientation towards music, which does not have a soft spot at all for Eurodance.

[LedZeppTroy]

First one ever given to me was White Zombies La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1, and First I ever bought was Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin IV.

[Nickalos N]

The first album I bought was The All American Rejects - Move along.
The first album I recieved was Green Day - Dookie

[St4RKilleR]

Los Prisioneros - Pateando Piedras

don't complain, I'm latin...

[Gkap720]

First Album Purchase: Scenes From a Memory- Dream Theater
Pretty good first, I'd say. :)

[Shanerane]

I don't really purchase albums.

But I remember I asked my mom to buy me a Crazy Frog CD when I was like 8 or 9. After that I got some Green Day, Nickelback and Billy Talent CD's for some birthday's/Christmases.

[SilverSprocket]

First bought- Rush 2112

[RuseBalaxin]

First Album Given To Me:
- Stone Temple Pilot's "Core"
Received it from my Brother while I was recovering in the I.C.U.--
He pretty much owed it to me lol :D

First Album Purchased:
- Creed's "Human Clay"
For two years solid I listened to Human Clay
every school morning. The following summer I discovered
My Own Prison and fell in love with Creed all over again.
* I'm really shocked Creed isn't in Rock band yet! *

First Album Stolen:
- Dance Mix '95
Yeah I was young, stupid and into the Dance scene for
a good year when a "Frenemy" of mine happened to leave
this at my house. Looking back, I regret nothing! lol.

[Pearl White]

TBH i cant recall its been a long time, but think one of the first LPs i bought was War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne.
I still have a large selection of LPs on vinyl so dear say my first ever one is still amoung them, but they in my attic for the time being, and not going away up there to dig them out :p

[Dragonfarce_]

RHCP's greatest hits album...
