What was your first album?

I bought the self-titled and De Stijl albums by The White Stripes on the same day back in 2003. I borrowed Elephant from a friend and became hooked and decided to dive into their discography right away. I was about 13and had never been so interested in a band before.

First indie album? um. Bloody hell, I think it's actually Skeletal Lamping by Of Montreal (2008!). I don't buy albums often, as my parents have a pretty wide library and I usually download. Every other album I bought was stuff I bought when I was six or seven, such as Placebo (ew) and Gorillaz (I still like them actually).

You were buying Gorillaz at 7? You were certainly ahead of the curve :O

Division of fans. The ones who heard them on MTV and thought they were catchy or whatever. And the ones who liked Dan the Automator/Del Tha Funkee Homosapien/Damon Albarn's work. I was pretty much the former at first, but now I'm the latter.

The first alternative album I ever bought was actually the first album I ever bought, period. At the age of nine I picked up Nirvana's live album "On the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah" back in 1996. I didn't know anything about Nirvana at the time but had heard that they were cool so I picked it up.

Radiohead's "Pablo Honey" when I was 10.

Ten by Pearl Jam, I think.

If Third Eye Blind's eponymous counts, that was it. If not, then In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.
