Segue Myles Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) My first album was ABBA Gold. Blew me away. My earliest album purchase that I remember was Kylie Minogue, Fever, when I was ten. Bear in mind I was young, my parents considered Cliff Richard a musical genius, and within four years my head was being blown apart by the joys of prog and metal. I had to start somewhere...and I started my musical life with a hiccup... Edited August 7, 2014 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtualbob64 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 First album I ever bought with my own money was Kiss Love Gun,first one as a gift was Kiss Destroyer.Anyone see a pattern?Anyway, say what you will about Kiss they shaped my taste in music.Even though my choices have matured a little since then.I think I was 12.Wow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 my mom bought this for me when I was in 2nd grade :) http://assets-s3.rollingstone.com/assets/images/album_review/led-zeppelin-ii-1400175028.jpg That's very sweet of her. My mother bought me Hemispheres for Christmas in '82. That album is special to me for that reason and I think of her whenever I hear it. It also rocks! :haz: :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The first album that really had an impact on me was Thriller. It was pretty much my youth soundtrack. The first album I ever bought was Conspiracy Of One by The Offspring. I was only 14, so not too bad. First Rush album was Fly By Night, but they didn't really blow me away until I bought my second Rush album, A Farewell to Kings. I can't even remember the amount of times I listened to Xanadu in my car when driving back and forth to university. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Simple. Do you remember the first album you ever bought or at least the first that really had an impact in your life. I believe the first album I bought (or more likely begged my mom to buy for me) was: http://mlm-s1-p.mlstatic.com/jaws-tiburon-cd-soundtrack-pelicula-jaws-tiburon-2640-MLM2552908473_032012-F.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen of the World Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I guess I'm showing my age, but my first album was :rush: . My first non-Rush album was Elton John's greatest Hits Vol. 1 followed by Magical Mystery Tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Probably GNR's Appetite or MJ's Bad. I remember really being into those around the same time as a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think the album that truly changed my life and got me hooked and addicted to music was a cassete tape my dad had of ABBA Gold. Does this count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 http://theoriginalsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/elton_john_goodbye-yellow_brick_road.jpg Me too. I was in the 3rd grade. My older brother had bought EJ's Greatest Hits which became an obsession. Saved up my allowance and bought this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I remember some albums that I received as gifts, but I didn't even know of the bands until I saw the records:Kansas - Point of Know ReturnELO - Out of the Blue The first one I bought myself may have been Cheap Trick's Heaven Tonight, although (do I even want to admit this?) I clearly remember buying the Bay City Roller's 45 of Saturday Night. "I clearly remember buying the Bay City Roller's 45 of Saturday Night." -- I did too. Can't imagine what I was thinking. My younger brother bought Hey Jude backed by Revolution at the same time and I actually mocked him for buying "pop music." Granted, it was my job being an older brother to ridicule and belittle him, and do what I could to make sure he grows up into an insecure and troubled adult, but still, was I out to lunch. Oy Vey.
