A question for one and all- what's the first album that you bought with your own money? (Mine was Thriller; I wanted to see what all the shouting was about.)

Ooh yeah, and my first CD was I do not want what I haven't got by Sinead O'Connor.

I can't remember if I bought any cassette tapes when I was younger by myself.

I distinctely remember my first CDs though - Dirt by Alice in Chains and Abbey Road by The Beatles.

I was wondering if I should have differentiated between different media- tapes, CDs, etc. (My first CDs were Wish You Were Here and Houses of the Holy.)

Leonard Cohen, Recent Songs

The soundtrack to Dune, vinyl album. Either that or "Doctorin' the Tardis"...can't remember specifically. I had a bunch of LPs from that time, including another Doctor Who one, "Variations on a Theme".

Think it was Dune, though.

Rock and Roll Over by KISS. On vinyl. Cost me a whole 5 bucks when it came out! :)

i'm amazed i'm admitting this: john cougar's "american fool."

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

I actually like some of his stuff; did you know Mick Ronson arranged a few of his songs?

First at all: A used cassette of The Beatles' Yesterday... and Today, which was a "greatest hits" tape.

First new: About half a dozen LPs, which included ABC's The Lexicon of Love, The Fixx's Stand or Fall, and (I think) the first Duran Duran album (but not the version with "Is There Something I Should Know?" on it... it was one of those albums where the band wound up re-releasing it to shove on a hit single, other examples from the era being Thomas Dolby's The Golden Age of Wireless and The Smith's Meat is Murder).

(Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duran_Duran_%28album%29) identifies the version we bought as "rare," which means it's probably worth more money now; we sold it for $5 to a friend so we could buy the version is "ITSISK?" on it. *sigh*)

First CD, if you're interested: Faith No More's The Real Thing, which I bought used to test the CD player I'd bought. %)

The soundtrack to Disney's Pinnocio,I was five,but my first serious album was Kiss Destroyer

[tritia.livejournal.com]

Simple Minds, Once Upon A Time

[ophi.livejournal.com]

LOL a tape of 'Bad' by, indeed, Michael Jackson. Next was something by Duran Duran, I gather.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

Wow- more than half my flist mentioned either MJ, Duran Duran, or both; you're a trendsetter! *knuffel*

Desolation Boulevard by Sweet

[schoenberg.livejournal.com]

glass houses by billy joel

[asleeponsunbeam.livejournal.com]

I don't remember the first album or tape I personally bought, but my first CD was P.I.L Greatest Hits.

[heron61.livejournal.com]

Something by Al Stewart, either Time Passages or or Year of the Cat - when I saw Al Stewart in concert 4 years ago, and he signed an album for me, I mentioned that these two albums were among the first I had owned and that I had owned them both in 8-track tape, LP, & CD, and since then they are both in mp3s on my computer.

It was either a Shaun Cassidy album or an ELO album during the disco years. I remember also buying Rappers Delight by the Sugar Hill Gang. I was around 8 or 9. Vinyl of course.
