Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is what I can remember... One of the first 45s I remember buying was The Grand Funk Railroad The Loco-Motion/1974. Around 1976 I started mowing lawns so I could afford to buy full albums. First Album could have been Bachman Turner Overdrive BTO Best of (So Far). Maybe the Doobie Brothers Best Of... I do remember getting KISS Alive and Destroyer both for Christmas in 1976... First 8-Track was Ace Frehley KISS solo album/1978... First Cassette was David Bowie Lets Dance/1983.Times were a changing.:greyalien:At the same time my last vinyl purchase was Quiet Riot-Metal Health.That drought lasted 22 years... First CD...Purchased together around the beginning of 1991:Slayer Decade of Aggression(live) and Queensryche Operation Mindcrime. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Humped Camel Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Tone Loc "Loc'ed after dark". I bought it 2nd hand from an older cousin under the table because my Dad would have never let me buy it at 10 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugatti Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Pearl Jam -- No Code. That was the first CD album purchased in 1996. First album on tape I am not sure. Maybe Kris Kross or MC Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 CD... good heavens I think it was the Space Jam soundtrack in 1996. And don't any of you say anything because that album was huge and the Monstars Anthem is STILL awesome. Method Man, B-Real, Busta Rhymes... just unreal. My first recorded music though was on casette. Had one of those long before I had a CD player as a kid. Didn't buy a lot of music but I would sit in my room and record tracks off the radio... yeah, there's something you'll never hear of a kid doing again. But first purchased casette, I'm almost sure, was "Even Worse" by Weird Al. Loved him as a kid... still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of crossover. Nevermind wasn't my first CD, but it was definitely one of my first four or five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
