First CD I bought was Metallica's black album.

It was either Pearl Jam's Vs., Soundgarden's "Superunknown", or Stone Temple Pilot's "Purple". I honestly don't remember which was first.

the specials s/t was my first...i think i was 9...pretty good i think looking back...

I get the feeling that we're around the same age. I know that Vs. was the first album I ever purchased, and I'm pretty sure that I bought Superunknown shortly after. I still think that Vs. is the PJ's best.

My first CD's were:

 

Howard Jones - "Dream Into Action" and Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife"

 

Have no clue what my first album was. Probably Sugar Hill Gang "Rapper's Delight" or something like that. Let's not forget Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five either!

 

I did the whole 70's Classic Rock thing (many of the ones you guys have mentioned) and then moved into the Heavy Metal/Hair Band era with bands like Dokken, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio, etc.

 

Then I hopped right into the 80's and Bryan Adams. My musical tastes were kind like Nuke Laloosh _ _ cks and pitches...... all over the place.

 

Boston, Van Halen, U2 and Mellencamp were always some of my favorite bands.

My first LP's were bought as a group of 4 in 1972........

Led Zeppelin- Vol. IV (ZOSO)

 

Black Sabbath- Vol. IV

 

The rest is history, i still have over 300 pieces of hard rock vinyl from the last 33 years. Yes, even Frampton Comes Alive..........

 

 

I remember buying two very different albums for my first purchases, The Beetles Hey Jude, and Led Zeppelin 4.

I know my first CD purchase was Cloud 9 by George Harrison was back in Nine Teen hundred and Eighty Eight. As for cassette it was either Fore or Sports by Huey Lewis and the News in 1983, whichever one was released first.

I guess for the "breakdown":

 

First vinyl was that Monkees thing.

 

First tape was that Chicago tape.

 

First CD was The Dogs D'Amour - In The Dynamite Jet Saloon.

Technically, Hey Jude was an EP and not an album.

I had each and every one of those albums. And yes, I remember the panties now that you mention it.

Guns N’ Roses Use Your Illusion II.

 

I remember buying that CD for the sole purpose that I heard You Could Be Mine in Terminator 2. I was so hooked to that film (and the song) that I went to Circuit City and used my allowance money to buy that CD.

First album I ever bought was Mr. Mister- "Welcome to the Real World." Followed closely by Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet." Both on vinyl.
