What was the first record/tape/CD you bought for yourself?

What about the first one you loved, that maybe belonged to a family member or you received as a gift?


First one I bought myself I'm almost positive was Motion City Soundtrack, or Fall Out Boy's EP, but I'm not going to count an EP.

First one I received as a gift was Britney Spears.

First I ever received was ace of base's the sign. First I ever bought were the wallflowers bringing down the horse and eve6's self titled album (which I still love & now have on my iPhone.)

[release the hounds]

The only record I remember ever getting was a Herman's Hermits and the song "No Milk Today" and "There's a kind of Hush" I got that from a friend of my parent's when they were in college. I was 5.

My first 8 track I got was the Empire Strikes Back soundtrack. It's the only one I remember ever having.

My first Tape?? I have no idea. I had a lot of Metallica, motley crue, Whitesnake, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. Doesn't matter who was first, they all ****ing rule

My first CD's were a double buy, Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirit, and totally out of character, Public Enemy, the Empire Strikes Black.

I remember I didn't even have a stereo, I had just traded an old dirtbike that didn't run for a cd player and had to hook it up to an old boom box to listen to it It was great. I was so much more inventive back then.

Today, if I can't plug my iPod into something, i'm screwed

I think the first thing I ever got was Michaels Jacksons Thriller on vinyl. First tape I think was salt n peppa lol and first CD was probably the simpsons (complete with Do the Bartman lol.) my mom HATED that CD so much hahaha and I listened to it CONSTANTLY

[JacksonsMom]

BACKSTREET BOYS! lol. I had their cassette tape from their 1997 first US album (I was 7, haha). So my parents bought it for me.

[Southpaw]

Hanson, "3 Car Garage". Obviously, this is the CD that included the wonderful Mmmbop.

[sparks19]

man, making me feel old lol. I was in highschool when Hanson came out

[Beanie]

Yeah a lot of this is making me feel old LOL.
We didn't buy a lot of vinyl when we were kids. I'm not sure what the first tape I ever bought was, it was probably something like The Lion King soundtrack?? My sister was older than me so she was usually the one to go out and buy a tape (like New Kids on the Block) and we would listen to them together, so I didn't buy them.
It was a big deal when our family finally got a CD player... I think the first CD I ever got - not bought, but got - was Paula Abdul's Spellbound. I never mentioned it to him but it was given to me at an event in the park, at a radio station booth, by one of the DJs I eventually worked with at said radio station. (One of my co-workers who is my age told another co-worker "When my sister and I were little, we used to fax requests to you whenever our dad took us to work with him!!" LOL oh man. So yeah, I never mentioned this story to this guy.)
No idea what the first one I might have bought would have been. You would think I'd remember since it was so monumental to get a CD player. =P

I don't remember the first tape I got, but when I got my first CD player, I got a Tommy Page CD with it.

I remember many, many afternoons of playing Nintendo with my best friend and blasting the Days of Thunder CD. Other than that, I was a musical theater nut from a pretty young age. Most of my CDs were things like Chess and Phantom.
