The First Music You Bought. Can You Remember ?

a reply to: DD2029


The only album I know of that gets better the louder it is played... I used to play this at deafening tones from two 12" speakers in a homemade sub box in my first car lol a Red chevrolet chevette scooter I took the "S" off of the side badges so it said cooter as a stupid joke... I guess the Chevette part meant the car was female?

Hmm without Trent would there even have been a M. Manson? I recall NIN people going who the hell is that dude always following him around...

Wow Stay Hungry ty for posting that it is playing on full blast right now. Your gonna burn in hell. F##### yeah .

My first music was KISS - The Originals
It was a 3 vinyl record box set of KISS’s first 3 albums.
It came with a book and a big KISS Army sticker and some other stuff.
I was 11 years old and I am still rocking 41 years later lol

Black Sabbath's Master of Reality and Sabotage albums.

First album I ever actually owned that was MINE and not a hand-me-down from brother or anything was BNL 'Born on a Pirate Ship'

Still one of my all-time favorite albums

I can't show it but when we were kids we'd sing crimson and clover while using our fingers to vibrate our lips to replicate the electric sound. It was pretty funny.

I grew up in the era when parents still had eight track players in the wall to wall carpet van.
Glorious times, when kids would roam the neighborhood in packs on bmx bikes .
We had access to everything from Roy Robison to queen. If your parents were not rocking Steppenwolf you were a pariah..

But my first actual Album purchase was licenced to ill by the beasties boys..don't hate I was in the sixth grade and there was a music store next to radio shack in the strip mall Along my walk home..

News flash!

In the early eighties in suburbia parents felt comfortable letting there kids walk home from school unattended with only a book bag and a key on a necklace..

I feel for the kids today..

I can hear a song I haven't heard in decades and remember the words. It's a gift not a curse.
My husband is still amazed by this quirk of mine.

My parents were/are religious extremist cult sorts where all music not church music is devil music.

We had this cool Elvis Pressley`s LP collection and i loved to listen, sing and dance to it as little kid, i think i was 3-5 years old at time, any case we had music all over our lifes and in everything we did but that album is the earliest that i remember most clearly

We had an old Mexican dude at the flea market who sold bootlegs for $1 a tape. I don't remember what I bought from him, but I remember buying tapes every couple of weeks as a kid.

My first actual commercial purchase was one of those Columbia House things. I got a lot of CDs in one pop, but I know the order included such beauty as Metallica's Black Album, Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid, Ozzy's No More Tears, Judas Priest Painkiller, King Diamond's The Eye, Queenryche's Empire, Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss, and White Zombie's La Sexorcisto. I also am pretty sure there was a George Strait's greatest hits, David Allan Coe's greatest hits, Garth Brooks' No Fences, and Brooks & Donn's Brand New Man in that box as well.

the first time i was allowed to buy my own records was in 1972 aqe 10 yrs old was a place called Third Stone Records in Narrvare Minnesota and i got two albums!

Aqualung from Jethro Tull

Aqualung as a 10year old? That was a good album who did you think cross eyed Mary was? MY first was The Rolling Stones-mono LP.
