Or getting by asking for it?

I'm pretty sure it was Poison, Flesh and Blood for me.

Altho I think it was preceded by a few singles on tape, starting with Unskinny Bop.

Also, I remember getting the Chipmunk Christmas tape and a Halloween sound f/x tape before that. But this would have been the first one I sought out.

A Best Of album by The Ventures.

I had a very eclectic upbringing.

Richard Marx - Rush Street.

Don't look at me, I don't know why either.

I had a couple of albums like a Kenny Rogers one, but the first I remember asking for or getting was probably "Dancing on the Ceiling" by Lionel Richie.

First explicit lyrics album I got (in cassette form might I add) was Digital Underground's "Sex Packets."

EDGECRUSHER · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2011, 03:24:26 AM »

Nirvana - Nevermind on cassette. First CD was Ten by Pearl Jam.

Pretty sure my first couple were Michael Jackson albums. Dangerous, Off The Wall, Thriller, etc.

IIRC, the first album I bought myself was Goo Goo Dolls.

First album bought for me: Black Bear Road by C.W. McCall (on vinyl). (It featured the song Convoy, which I was really into at the time.)

Bought with my own $$$: Zenyatta Mundatta by the Police (also on vinyl).

Not a Rush album? I'm disappointed.

Prime · « **Reply #19 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:53:07 AM »

I was never really into Rush. A lot of their music is very good, and Geddy is an awesome bass player, but I really don't like his voice very much. It gets really screechy at times.

Same with The Tragically Hip. I really like the actual music, but I can't listen to Gord Downey sing for more than 10 seconds without wanting to blow my head off.

unknownman89 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:54:50 AM »

I stole it, but that's kinda the same, right?

This is the first one I remember actually paying money to own.

Not a Van Halen album? I'm disappointed.

Prime · « **Reply #23 on:** May 30, 2011, 10:27:32 AM »

That Loverboy album was 1985, when I was 10 years old. I hadn't even heard of Van Halen until 1986 when 5150 came out, then turned into a giant fan and went back and listened to all the Dave-era stuff.

The first album I ever got was "So" by Peter Gabriel. Peter Gabriel is my favorite singer. I think "So" was the first CD I ever bought, too.

My parents used to have an old timey style radio in their living room. I would put my ear right up to it, turn it up just barely so I could barely hear it, and listen to it late at night on the weekends (past my bedtime). I even figured out that I could turn the TV on mute and turn the radio on the ABC broadcast station (which was the TV station being played on the radio) and put my ear up to the radio to watch TV late at night. What an outlaw, right? I'd stay up and watch Rick Dees Into the Night.

All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
