First was Alice Cooper - Muscle Of Love, second was Kiss - Alive - I was 11

Was a very short time after that I discovered Columbia House Tape Club, filled it out and got a ton of stuff for a penny (you still had to tape the penny to the postcard).

They backed down on the bills they kept sending to an 11 year old, figured they could not collect.

I remember buying it, getting it home, and rocking out playing it OVER and OVER for hours....


The Knack - "My Sharona"


I still like it - https://youtube.com/watch?v=kXVitkINDp0

hmm first record bought was Puff the magic dragon, when i was like 6 yrs old or some shit

A credence clearwater revival single, can't remember which one exactly... it was in grade school and I thought John Fogerthy looked cool LOL

Linds, great thread man. This is one of my favourite questions to ask people lol. I grew up in the cassette era and can't remember that far back, but the first cd I ever bought was Queen Bohemian Rhapsody, a classic :winkwink:

Sex Pistols: Never mind the Bollocks 1977

When i grew up outside the states - Micheal Jackson

When i was in the states - genesis

Some Iron Maiden album. I bought it because I thought it looked cool. I don't think I even heard them before. lol

Wow, that's strange that Kiss "Sure Know Something" was your first because Kiss "Dynasty" was my first ever LP.

My first ever cd was Mass "Voices In The Night", they're a hard rock band produced by Michael Sweet (Stryper).

"Call Me" by Blondie (45)

Poison - Flesh and Blood :)

Still have it too

For my 10th birthday, my grandam took me to the record store and asked me to choose the record of my choice...

Madonna "Like a Virgin" on vinyl. And I still have it :)

Mine was a 45 vinyl and the artist was "Chubby Checker" The Twist. I got that record about a week after it came out.
I guess my parents loved to see me do the twist during those days.
And shortly after I got "Elvis Presley" Hound Dog.

Not sure it was either White Room from the Cream (eric clapton) Or it was a
Mother's Finest album....Still like both bands :winkwink:

A Hard Days Night (album),

I was 10 or 11

Well seeing as I'm not as old of some of you (bor in '81), my first album was Michael Jackson's "Bad". My first tape though was House of Pain.

I have no idea what was the first CD I ever bought....

In retrospect, these were both very bad ideas.

Nirvana - Nevermind... yes, I had holes in my jeans, long hair and a shirt with the cover of this album on it complete with naked baby when I was 11.
