Nirvana - Nevermind
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News

one of those two, can't remember which I bought first. I got the MM album a few weeks after it came out, after hearing them on a TV show and loving the song.

The first "Alternative" album I ever owned was "Unplugged in NY" by Nirvana.

But what really got me into indie were three albums I bought at the same time:
My Bloody Valentine "Loveless"
Neutral Milk Hotel- "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea"
Sonic Youth- "Daydream Nation"

I hadnt heard one track from any of them, I got them just from hearing about them so much on music websites. I was completely blown away by all of them.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips

lol, that was like 2002

The Go-Betweens...'16 Lovers Lane' Bought it in primary school, track it down trust me you will not be dissappointed .

Wow, I can hardly remember. I'm pretty sure the first album I ever owned was Ace of Base. O.o You know, that one with "The Sign" on it... I was in 4th grade or something. The first CD I ever owned was Lisa Loeb's Nine Tails.

First ever "alternative" album I owned was probably Green Day's Nimrod.

First indie album: Two, actually - Jim Guthrie's "Now More Than Ever" and St. Vincent's "Marry Me" back in 2007.

First album ever: Saliva "Every Six Seconds." I was in gr. 7

:laughing:

i was in grade 12 hahaha



my first 'alternative' cassette tape was mother's milk by the chili peppers :laughing:

My first album was Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory? I bought it on cassette (remember those?) way back when in 1995 when i was 9 years old and they were bigger than Jesus.

My first 'alternative' album was the Pixies - Doolittle about 7 years ago.

It was a blend of these (I was too young to remember which one I actually put on first).

Pink Floyd - The Wall
U2 - The Joshua Tree
The Toy Dolls - Dig That Groove Baby

.. and there was a Johnny Cash LP that I think was called Ring of Fire. It had "bonanza" on it and I loved playing it on high speed so that his voice got smurfy.

Third Eye Blind, self-titled.

I still rock this as hard as I did back then too.
