    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 😉

        @SKT:

        when I asked her what “Little T&A” meant.  Quarterflash was just bad 80’s music.

        😃 😃 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

              TOO MUCH PRESSHA!

              So good.

              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.

                My first album purchase was a heavy metal double header at the tender age of 14… also with record tokens @IH-GARY  😃

                  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…

                                    Monkees was my first live show.  If you don’t count Sesame Street Live.

                                      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.

                                        Van Halen during the 1984 tour was my first concert. My friend's mom took us. My parents didn't know until it was too late, because they definitely wouldn't have allowed it.

                                        After that it was shit like The Smothers Brothers in LA at a studio (I had know idea who the Hell they were), Stryper, Amy Grant, and such until I eventually got to see bands I liked again. When I got old enough to drive (driving age was 15 in Mississippi at the time), my horizons expanded a lot, since I could drive to places like Memphis and New Orleans (drinking age in LA was 18 at the time) to see bands like the Beastie Boys, Pink Floyd, KMFDM, King Crimson, Melvins, or stick around in Jackson, MS when bands like REM (in a SHOEBOX of a venue), Fugazi, Kyuss, Type O Negative (ha), The Cult, Rush, Prince, and others came through. One of those bands I really loved but they lasted like 6 months–I'll post them over in Music because I think a lot of people here would love Stompbox.

                                        Think it, be it.
