        This is such a great thread Endo!  I was really into the Beatles and Wings from my dad’s record collection in the 70’s. So the first album I picked up was Wings-Back to the Egg in 1979 when I was 8. It was…not a great Wings album.

        Then I distinctly remember buying these 2 cassettes around 10…

        Quarterflash-Self-titled
        The Rolling Stones-Tattoo You

        The latter resulted in an awkward exchange with my mom when I asked her what “Little T&A” meant.  Quarterflash was just bad 80’s music.

          First record I bought with my own money was this gem on cassette, Camelot Music, Atlanta GA c. 1988. Still listen to it fairly regularly 😎

            Wings at the Speed of Sound is also a huge one for me as a kid, but it belonged to my dad (I now have his copy on vinyl). I also had the Thriller 7" (and still do) but my parents picked that up for me earlier as a gift, for spinning on my Fisher Price player 😉

              😃 😃 you don‘t want to know what I listened to in the early 80s

              @popvulture:

              this gem on cassette

              INXS, still like ‚Never tear us apart‘ a lot. Sad end for Michael Hutchence, though.

                I listened to A LOT of INXS in junior high/high school. Listen Like Thieves was the one I remember most. Throw in some Cure/Depeche Mode/Smiths and I may just teleport back to 1987

                    Yeah for real. That documentary on him is great — such a sad story. F'n hell what a good lookin' guy and absurdly talented performer! Truly one of those charismatic rock stars.

                        1981, at the ripe young age of 12. Purchased with money made on my paper route…..

                            I believe the first CD I ever owned was a "clean" version of The Eminem Show, via my half brother (ca. 10 years old) :D. The first CD I ever bought was Demon Days by Gorillaz, via K Mart (ca. 12 years old). Other standout formative albums that come to mind:
                            Heroes, Bowie
                            Guero, Beck
                            Elephant, White Stripes
                            With Teeth, NIN
                            The Sky's Gone Out, Bauhaus
                            VU and Nico
                            Pink Flag, Wire

                                Thriller on vinyl when it came out.  My dad bought it for me.  My brother who was 5 at the time got a Willie Nelson record.  Both solid choices then and now.

                                    My sister bought this for me for Christmas. Still possibly my favorite present ever.

                                      He heard Blue Skies on the radio and loved it.

                                        @Matt  I was wasn’t lucky enough to get my hands on a vinyl copy of Thriller but I wore the cassette out.

                                        @Chris What a great album.

                                        I’ve been doing some digging through my old records and found another that could have been my first…

                                            When I first got into music we just bought singles,as they were always released before the album,and quite often the single was the best or in some cases the only good song on the album. Having said that,I have to think that the first album I ever bought was Meet The Beatles.
