first album you ever bought

might as well, seeing as we have a singles one!

Er, that was a very long time ago.

I remember my first three *adult* albums, but they were Christmas gifts, not one's I'd bought myself.

I'd guess my first I bought myself was Wheels of Fire.

Cream

Listened to Cream every single night throughout high school. Knew every note on every song, me.

Those were the days...

Ace lead guitar work on that one.

Told you I knew every note. You'd have to, if you listened to the same 4 albums every night for four years.

Er, 6 albums. Maths never were my strong suit.

Hell No:mad4:

That would be Wham! - Make it Big!!!!!

Damned if I can remember. I might be Wham-Make it Big, or Thriller, or Queen's Greatest Hits. I'm not sure any of those are something to be proud of, but it's easy to confess these things over the internet. :D

Violator by Depeche Mode!! :D "Your own personal Jesus..."

Crocodiles, Bunnymen

The Jam - Setting Sons

Fuel ~ 'Sunburn' back in the 9th grade [October '98]. Great album back then too. Haven't heard it in a while though.

[and it scares the out of me that i remember this!]

The eponymously titled Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

No idea what the First ones were. First well used LP that was real pleased to see. was JD's Unknown Pleasures. Then (wrong thread) TBTHo G. as think it was the Japanese Import on Virgin's label. Gorgeous.

Probably Boy - U2

Before that it was compilations.

"reckless" Bryan Adams.

I was 13-sue me

Duran Duran "Rio"

'Kings of the Wild Frontier' by Adam and the Ants

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton. ( I was young, and I kept playing the song about the lesbians over and over... )

Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill. Wonderful album.

It's because it belongs to important passages of time in your life, first record, first kiss, first beer, first girlfriend, first sex, first job, first house, first post on NOOL, first wife, first suicide attempt...

probally rolf harris.i know that in 1977 i bought sex pistols and sham 69 which is slightly different

john lennons "imagine " on cassete. " paul mccartneys ,"band on the run" on plastic

stuck inside these 4 walls,imagining no possesions.

Substance 1987...

Snorri xxx

haven't got a clue about first album, that's far too long ago. did remember the first single but that's only because I bought a grand total of six 7". Always thought they were a waste of money (that's not counting the NO ones of course).

Christ you were all cool as youngsters (or telling porkies to look cooler )

Mine was Boyzone - 'A Different Beat'

I was 10 year old girl, it was the mid 90s and therefore almost against the law not to like a boyband! (my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

sorry bad manners "looney toons", i was nine, it came with a buster bloodvessel ear studd, so i asked me if i could get my ear pierced.

Even funnier.....I don't get into 'cool' music until I was 18 and my uncle bought me 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley to show there was better music than boybands

Man am I going to regret saying that!

Fuck all that looking cool shite, it was defo the Kids from FAME tv soundtrack.

kids from fame......

Well I didn't buy it myself (I was too young :) ) but this was my first album.

I was only 8 or summit

i thought someone else bought it for you?! that's the second time you've mentioned it - i think you have a soft spot. i have it on cd, steve, was dancing round my kitchen to high fidelity only last night. and i'm not kidding. fucking brilliant. you're welcome to borrow it...

first album i bought for myself was the circus, erasure. but mostly i nicked my big brothers' rekkids.

When I was about eleven years of age (circa 1978) I went into my local Library in Leicester and found that they were selling a slightly battered copy of Kraftwerk's Autobahn LP on the Vertigo label. I thought it looked interesting so I paid 50p and rushed home to listen to my first album.

I remember putting the vinyl on my Dad's Garrard deck and listening through his Sennheiser headphones. I was transfixed and this started a 30 odd year addiction to music. For a while I followed the logic that I should only buy German records. This led to some great discoveries in the import bins : Popol Vuh, Neu, Agitation Free, Can etc. It also led to some dodgy purchases Nena's (99 Red Balloons) first album was awful.

Joy Division were the first non-German Group I got into (something about the glacial quality of Unknown Pleasures sucked me in). Consequently when New Order went all Kraftwerk I couldn't have been more pleased!

Dare - Human League

Must have missed this thread first time round, erm first album I bought was Madness "The Rise And Fall", or it could have been Ultravox's "Quartet" (had the song "Hymn", if memory serves me correctly)?...

First one I got given was either "Ludwig & Friends" (about a bloomin' cartoon egg on kids TV playing classical music) or a childrens TV album (featuring Bernard Cribbens, and other embarrassing crap)!
