What are the first albums or CDs you ever bought!

[Šñøü†ê®]

Led Zeppelin II and this Yes were among the first few. The Yes album is scary because it is more advanced than most progressive rock music before and after it. This is why I find retards who buy punk rock crap, retards as indeed they are. And Gango, Bob Dylan and Chuck Berry would not have ANY clue in a million years as to what YES was doing in that one song, and they probably could not perform 5 seconds of it even if they took lessons from YES. :p Reality check with the music of the surreal. ;)

The Police: Every Breath You Take

[Šñøü†ê®]

Okay, flashback to a bar in Danbury, CT where I first heard that. :p ANYHOW, funny coincidence, I was picking up a case of Brooklyn Lager yesterday and I could hear Whole Lotta Love was just ending on the store's sound system so obviously the young lady at the cash register was kind of disoriented thinking about WTF all those inches of love were discussed in the lyrics!

I wish my first album was as respectable as all of yours. Think it was an Iron Maiden album, but I can't remember which one now.

[garyd]

Beatles Yesterday and Today. Some where either at my sister's house or my moms are a bunch of old Elvis 45 rpm's but those are just two songs each. Scarcely an album. I think that was the first one but it is possible that it was either a Peter paul and mary, (love the music hate the politics) or Kingston Trio. I still have all those albums.

I've also got a Jethro Tull Album can't remeber the Name and an Album Called Tarkus for which I can't remember the group. I bought the album without ever having heard a single cut simply because the cover was so damn surreal. Today I listen mostly to classical.

The first one I seem to have a memory of buying with my own money was Queensryche: Empire

[Truth Teller]

I recall getting Beatles ,Dave Clark 5 and Herman's Hermits albums as Birthday/Christmas gifts.

The first album I ever bought was The Monkees eponymous debut album when I was 11 (the album had been out about half a year by then).

[Ponycar_302]

The first one I ever bought was Quiet Riot Condition Critical on cassette. The first CD I ever bought was Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell.

[Truth Teller]

Meatloaf Bat Out Of Hell.

That's a damn good album. :nice:

[Ponycar_302]

It's the one album that's been a constant in my library for 20 years, I have it on my iPod right now. :nice:

I think the first one that I actually bought with my own money was "Moving Pictures" by Rush. Best Album ever, not a bad song on it and have never got sick of it. I heard that record at my cousins and was hooked. It's been remastered in 5.1 surround and it's supposed to be mind blowing.

[GanjaFreebird]

I'm glad that Dylan and Berry don't play borring over produced shit and sing as if somebody cut off their balls:jester:.

Seriously though, Yes can play but the vocals are even worse than Styx on a bad day and lyrically they are mediocre AT BEST, whlie Dylan and Berry are REAL amazing poets:D.

[Alberto_Balsalm]

I think I bought Wish You Were Here and Animals by Pink Floyd at the same time.

[KillZone]

Bloodrock 2.

It came out in the (very) early 70s; maybe 1970. I can recall it vividly for it had D. O. A. on it, a song that was banned by many stations for some time.

Bloodrock (the band) originally were The Naturals, then they were The Crowd + 1 (really) and they changed their name to Bloodrock in the late 60s. This I know for they originated in Fort Worth. How they had any commercial success is a mystery (they were not very good, to say the least, imho).

[optimus]

"Eazy-Duz-It" by Eazy E on cassette.

2 of their most popular and most enduring songs, Tom Sawyer and Limelight, come from that one. Rush was an acquired taste for me. It is rather remarkable what a 3-man band that really fits no genre has accomplished (40-million albums sold world-wide). They were great live. They still produce CDs I like.

Indeed.

The funny part is that they never cared about being "Popular" or attempted to cater to the masses of idiots. They just wanted to create and play good quality, complex, music their way and blazed their own path. Apparently it's now cool to like them though as they've been featured in the "I Love You Man" movie and on some talk shows. Whatever. Lots of musicians like them, lots of tone deaf people who don't know a lick about music don't, I'll leave it at that. The cool thing is that if you go to a Rush concert you see people who have been into them from the start all the way up to kids whose parents have turned them onto them. I took my kids last year.....they loved it. My son is a drummer and we were in the 7th row. It was quite an experience for him.

As much as I hate to admit it I think my first album purchase might have been The Partridge Family.

What?...I was a 10 year old with a crush on Susan Dey!

[GanjaFreebird]

My first albums were Elvis Presley's greatest hits from 1950s and early 1960s, and Beatles' "Revolver" and "Abbey Road".

[IFF]
